Trusted, Knowledgeable, and Always Reliable

I’ve worked with Craig for years as my real estate attorney, and he has been consistently exceptional. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and brings a level of creativity and problem-solving that truly sets him apart. Beyond real estate, he has also provided thoughtful guidance in other important matt...ers, which speaks to the depth of his expertise and the trust I have in him. I always feel confident working with Craig and highly recommend him.

Professional, courteous, and informative

I was referred to Mr. Gilgallon by a friend. I was told he was very confident and professional, and would be able to help me with my case. We had a great consultation. He took a lot of time and explained many things to me and was extremely thorough in breaking down my situation and giving me some gr...eat suggestions. I even had a second call with him where he guided me through some other questions that I had and was very helpful. Luckily, my situation resolved itself before I needed to take the next step. I would highly recommend Mr. Gilgallon and use him in the future if need be.

Bait and switch

We hired and paid Gilgallon to amend the zoning on a property. As the other reviewers said, he was enthusiastic at the beginning, it was an easy-peasy job that he would have no problem completing with a short turn around. After months and months of not hearing back from him, he finally came back to u...s NOT with what we hired him to procure, but something entirely different that wouldn't help us at all. When confronted with this, his language completely changed and he became nasty and threatening. A horrible experience.

horrible

Due to his negligence (and arrogance) to properly close our new home, my family stayed in a hotel for 4 days. Had he done his job properly, for which he's licensed, we could have moved into our house on the proper closing date; instead of being dealt the inconvenience of staying in a hotel (paying fo...r ourselves). Luckily, my wife did not go into labor in the hotel! One thing is true, I can never recommend his services. HORRIBLE. It's necessary to have understanding and sympathy towards people that make mistakes because they do not know better, however that maxim does not apply to this situation- he did know better.

Flaky and unreliable - Stay away!!

This guy promised me a document on a two or three day turnaround for a meeting I was to have with my bank regarding a mortgage modification. After repeated assurances that it would be done, he left me hanging and thereafter did not return phone calls or emails. Extremely unethical and flaky, partic...ularly given the nature of the work that was needed. He put my deal in serious jeopardy.
