Escrow
The Phoenix Escrow Attorney for The Transaction That Has Just Collapsed
A Frank Discussion for Escrow Companies and Agents Facing Disputes, Litigation, or the Threat of an Interpleader Action.
Most real property and business transactions close without a whisper of trouble. The funds are transferred, the deeds are recorded, and all parties walk away satisfied.
But you are not here because your transaction was like most.
You are here because something has gone terribly wrong. The buyer is accusing the seller of non-disclosure. The seller is demanding the earnest money. Both parties are sending you, the escrow agent, conflicting, angry instructions. The entire transaction is frozen, and your professional reputation is on the line.
At Jaburg Wilk, we have found that in these moments, clarity and experience are the only assets that matter. We have built one of the most respected litigation practices in Arizona by navigating the precise sort of complexity you now face.
Our Counsel for Phoenix Escrow Disputes
When an escrow is compromised, you require more than just a real estate lawyer. You need a Phoenix escrow attorney with a documented history of defending the escrow process itself. We provide decisive legal counsel focused on protecting the escrow company and its agents.
Our work in this unique practice area includes:
Vigorous Defense for Escrow Agents: We represent and defend escrow companies and their agents when they are accused of breach of duty, negligence, or improper handling of funds or documents.
Expert Navigation of Interpleader Actions: When you are faced with conflicting demands for the funds you hold, an interpleader action is often the correct and safest legal path. We have the expertise to manage this process efficiently, protecting you from further liability.
Representation for Interested Parties: We also represent buyers, sellers, or other stakeholders who have a vested interest in a disputed escrow, fighting to protect their assets and contractual rights.
Proactive Counsel to Avoid Litigation: We believe the best lawsuit is the one that is never filed. We advise escrow companies on best practices and risk management to mitigate the chances of future disputes.
Experience is Not Expensive. It is Priceless.
Many law firms in Phoenix can litigate a contract dispute. Very few, however, have dedicated themselves to understanding the specific duties, pressures, and legal obligations of an escrow holder in Arizona. This is not a secondary practice for us; it is a core competency.
We know what is at stake. We understand that your role is to be a neutral third party, and we are experts at preserving that neutrality while protecting you from claims by interested parties. When an interpleader action becomes necessary, you will not be paying for an attorney to learn on the job. You are retaining a team that has managed these precise actions for decades.
Choosing an attorney without this specific experience is a risk your business cannot afford.
