Coward, Hicks & Siler, P.A. (Cashiers) - Cashiers, NC

THIS LAW FIRM CREATED A LOT OF DELAY FOR MYSELF AS THE SELLER. THEY BUYER USED THIS LAW OFFICE FOR THEIR CLOSING. MY LAW FIRM REPRESENTING ME DID EVERYTHING AS THEY SHOULD HOWEVER. THIS LAW FIRM DLEAYED THE FUNDS GETTING WIRED TO MY LAW OFFCIE IN A TIEMLY MANNER RIGHT UP TO CLOSE OF BUSINESS DAY ON FRIDAY AT 5 PM 15 MINUTES BEFORE FED EX WAS TO PICK UP IN ORDER TO GET THE FUNDS OVERNIGHTIED TO MY BANK. CLOSING WAS WEDNESDAY YET THEY DELAYED THE WIRE FUNDS FOR 48 HOURS AFTER THE CLOSING DOCS HAD BEEN SIGNED. ADDITIONALLY AT MY CLOSING MY LEASE BACK DOCS WERE IN WITH THE CLOSING DOCS AS THEY SH HAVE BEEN AS IT WAS PART OF THE TRANSACTION WITHIN THE CONTRACT . HOWEVER THIS LAW FRIM DELAYED GETTING THOSE DOCS TO THE BUYER THEY REPRESENTED ANOTHER ENTIRE DAY PAST THE WEDNESDAY CLOSING DOCS THAT WERE ORGI SIGNED ON WEDNESDAY THE DAY BEFORE! ITS A SHAME THAT THERE CANT BE MORE ON HANDS PROGRESS TO ALLOW FOR A MORE EFFICIENT WAY OF MOVING THINGS ALONG. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRANSPARENCY INVLOVED IN GETTING THE MONEY WIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND OR WHEN IT WAS EVEN EXPECTED MY LAW FIRM WAS IN THE DARK THE WHOLE TIME. THUS MYSLEF WAITING TWO WHOLE DAYS TO GET MY FUNDS TO ME AFTER THE HOME WAS SOLD AND CLOSED! NOT GOOD NOT GOOD AT ALL!! ADDITIONALLY WE DONT HAVE A REGISTERED HOA IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THERE IS ONE PERSON SO CALLED HALF WAY RUNNING THINGS HE HAS FAILED TO GET ANYONE OF THE MEMBERS TOGETHER IN THE FIVE YEARS I HAVE LIVED HERE AND THREW OUT A HOA YEARY FEE OF $700 OUT OF HIS HAT. THERE HAS BEEN ZERO MEETINGS OF ANY OF THE MEMBER ZERO PULLED TOGETHER ANY QUORUM OF ANY SORT. HE HAS FAILED TO PRODCUE DOCS SHOWING WHERE THE FUNDS ARE GOING AS WELL. YET THIS LAW FIRM INSISTED ON CHARGING THE $700 TO ME AT CLOSING WHEN IN FACT I HAVE BEEN PAYING $350 WHCIH WAS PART OF MY ORIGINAL CLOSING DOCS WHEN I MOVED HERE. AGAIN ITS ONE PERSON RUNNING THE SHOW DOING WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH THE FUNDS AND TELLING NO ONE WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING. WE ARE ALL IN THE DARK THE FUNDS WERE TO KEEP THE PRIVATE ROAD UP AS WELL AND LITTLE TO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TAKE CARE OF POT HOLES AND CRACKS AND MOVEMENT IN THE ROAD. THE FEE SH HAVE REMAINEDAT $350 YET KIM COWARD INSISTED ON CHARGING A $700 FEE TO MYSELF AND THE BUYER WHEN THIS IS A NUMBER THAT ONE PERSON HAS SIMPLY PULLED OUT OF HIS HAT!! NO VOTING OF ANY SORT HAS BEEEN ESTABLISHED TO SET THIS FEE IN PLACE AS A DESIGNATED FEE AS IT REPRESENT BASICALLY NOTHING. THIS GESTAPO OF SORTS ONE GUY DECIDED THATS WHAT HE WANTED FROM EACH OF US ! ITS NOT RIGHT THAT THIS LAW FIRM DID THIS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO STAND BEHIND NOR SUPPORT THE FEE ONE BIT. THEY WERE INEFFICIENT LATE IN GETTING LEAS DOCUMENTS TO THE BUYER THAT THEY REPRESENTED. THEY WOUD NOT ALLOW THE BUYER TO SIGN EARLY AS WELL AS I DID THE WEEK PRIOR. THEY DRUG THEIR FEET 2 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER CLOSING OF THE HOME BEFORE I THE SELLER RECD MY FUNDS FOR THE HOME! NOT GOOD! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND USING THIS LAW FIRM FOR ANY TRANSACTION.
