Lawyer or Title Company for Note purchase

[Thomas Watson]

I just purchased my first note in Baltimore City. I have to pay back taxes and associated lawyer fees (redemption). This was calculated in the purchase price prior to obtaining the note. I want to now check for liens and perform a title search. Is it better to hire a Real Estate Lawyer or title company to accomplish that service? The lawyer suggest that I hire him and he will pay the lawyer fees ($750) for the tax redemption and walk to release paperwork to the tax office. Of course he will charge an hourly rate (3 hours) not including title work. Or do I pay to have a title search and pay the lawyer fees for the taxes myself?
