Midtown Law has been closing real estate deals in Wilmington since 2017 and now has offices across the Carolinas, including two here in Wilmington. Most of our closings go through Shane Davidson, a partner in the Wilmington office whose practice is residential real estate: closings, title work, contracts and deeds. Shane works alongside Sarah Washington, Midtown’s coastal managing paralegal and, in our opinion, the best paralegal in the business. They handle most of our closings.
Chris is a Wilmington native who graduated from Campbell Law School in 1999 and practiced for 19 years before opening his own office in May 2021. We’ve worked with Chris for more than 10 years and have done dozens and dozens of closings with him over that time. We’re always glad to send a seller his way.
