When a real estate closing does not go as planned, escrow must occasionally be canceled. This can potentially lead to many different disputes. Sometimes the parties involved fail to comply with the escrow terms, or the escrow officer impairs the transaction through negligence of some kind. In other cases, disputes arise when the parties are not refunded their money or are asked to pay additional fees.
In California escrow disputes, we diligently asserts our clients' real estate rights through mediation, negotiation or litigation. We are a law firm with a strong record of results in these types of cases.
