Can i negotiate a time to close on a property

I am about to close on a house (i am the buyer). I am having difficulty with the time to close, my lawyer sent me an email with a time that i cant meet (i was not consulted by my lawyer based on date or time suitability).

Can i ask that the time be changed? I was hoping for anything from 3.30pm or 4pm.

    Tough to close if you're not there. Yes, you can ask to have the time changed.

    Yes you should be able to change the time as long as all parties agree, but in my experience you don't have to be physically present at the minute a sale closes (maybe it is different where you are buying).
