About Us

In 1975, Michael J. Philbin and his law partners founded Lawyer's Escrow Service, Inc.. From 1975 to 1998, Lawyer's Escrow was owned by Mr. Philbin and the other Members of the law firm of Taylor, Philbin, Pique, Marchetti & Bennett and its predecessors.

In 1998 Lawyer's Escrow was transferred to the sole ownership of Mike, who continued to own and operate it until his untimely death in 2015. At that time Shannon Philbin, Mike’s wife, who had been active in the business since 1998, succeeded to ownership, and Denny Bennett, Mike’s former law partner resumed his law practice with Nixon Pressley as the successor partnership in Mike’s law firm and a key affiliate of Lawyer's Escrow.

In 2024, Lawyer's Escrow was acquired by Mid South Title, a southeastern regional title agency. Together the two brands account for 130 Years of title and settlement excellence.

From now and into the future, Lawyer's Escrow will continue to be Nashville’s and middle Tennessee’s premier title agency, serving Buyers, Sellers, Borrowers, Lenders, Realtors and Builders.
