A lawyer was supposed to send a contract that I signed to the other party’s lawyer. I couldn’t get hold of him for 3-4 days, and finally when I did I asked about the status. His reply was totally lawyerly: I do not have it back, whichIt’s technically true if he hasn’t even sent it to them yet. Since I was sure he hasn’t even sent it yet I asked him whether he did, and after 10 minutes, which I’m sure he used to email those, this lazy bum replied “yes”.
Earlier in the day his assistant told me she “cannot confirm or deny”, whether they have the contract. Whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean.

100% he hadn't sent it yet and after that yes answer he rushed to do it

You get what you pay for with these things
I didn’t want to be cheap. If I understand correctly NY is the only state where lawyers are involved in simple real estate deals. I didn’t know any lawyer here so I asked a friend who recently dealt with the same situation how her experience was. I know now that she had a very low bar.
And this guy is charging slightly more than usual anyway.
