Your attorney as intermediary...?

"My attorney says that he can be my intermediary. He'll have one of his partners handle my exchange. Is this okay?"

No. Section 1031 prohibits an attorney, or their firm, who has had a client relationship with you in the past two years from acting as your qualified intermediary.
