Founded in 2019 by Attorney Jim Richards, Standard Title & Escrow was built on a vision of combining legal excellence with boutique, client-first service. The firm quickly distinguished itself in the Boston market, attracting top attorneys and paralegals who shared a commitment to precision, professionalism, and personalized representation.

What began as a small practice has evolved into a premier real estate law firm with a national presence. Early growth was driven by Jim’s strong background in finance and law, coupled with his ability to cultivate enduring relationships with clients, lenders, and industry partners. By 2021, Standard had become a recognized leader in New England conveyancing, while also establishing operations in Florida and Arizona.

Strategic expansion followed, including a merger in 2022 with Stelman Law—an integration that brought together decades of experience and further strengthened the firm’s footprint. Standard has since continued to grow with the addition of highly respected attorneys in residential and commercial real estate, as well as estate planning, each broadening the scope of services while reinforcing the firm’s boutique culture.

Today, with offices across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Florida, and Arizona, Standard Title & Escrow delivers national reach with boutique sophistication. Every transaction, from first-time home purchases to complex commercial deals, receives the same level of meticulous attention and care that has defined Standard from day one.

At Standard, growth is not just measured by numbers, but by reputation—one built on trust, high standards, and an unwavering commitment to setting the benchmark in real estate law.
