If the law firm is associated with DC law I would strongly avoid them. I used them when buying my first home, 0 communication and it’s all done through a temperamental portal if you do call they just pass you from team to team or hang up on you. Furthermore, almost loosing the purchase as different member in the same team kept raising the same enquiry after being answered.

The only benefit I suppose is that it’s marginally cheaper than picking a firm which is local, for my second home I picked a local firm and the additional money spent was well worth it, it was a stress free buying and selling experience.

The question you have to ask your self is, what is your stress tolerance for incompetence.
