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, succeeded Mike as President of the company and resumed his law practice with Nixon Pressley as the successor partnership in Mike’s law firm and a key affiliate of Lawyer’s Escrow.
