Closing lawyer question...please help!

Hi everyone! We closed on our house in October and paid our lawyer fee with our closing costs. The PBA reimbursed us $600 and sent the check to the lawyer. He was supposed to cut us a check. Fast forward to March. Still no check so I call the PBA to find out that they sent that check out in January. I called the lawyer and left 3 messages. I finally spoke to his secretary who promised me he would call me back. He never did. I called again on Wednesday and spoke with the lawyer who said he'd go back and check his deposits and call me on Friday. Now it's Sunday and I haven't heard from him. What would you do? Does this seem shady? Please help! Thank you!

Re: Closing lawyer question...warning, long!

Curious why the PBA paid for the closing cost? Is that something they do? Is this guy from a reputable source? Sounds a little strange, but with the weekend involved I'd give till Tuesday-Wednesday to really thing something strange is going on.

Hi thanks for responding...the NYC PBA reimburses for up to $600 and then you have to cover the difference. I am just angry because I feel like I am getting the run around...but thanks for responding!

If you spoke to him Friday you shouldn't expect to hear from him over the weekend. Unless he had a closing over the weekend I wouldn't think he'd be in the office. Give it until Tuesday afternoon...if you haven't heard back call again.
