Philip Vasilios Bouklas

Some observers of life contend that Sunday could be regarded as a day to engage in recreational pursuits.  However, the amazing support bestowed upon me by Bouklas and Associates stubbornly abides in my thoughts.  I must manifest a greater dimension of gratitude.    When my personal injury attorney... (whose opinion I hold in the highest regard) learned I was looking for a trust / estate lawyer, he recommended Phillip Bouklas without reservation.  I was advised that he was in the Wall Street area as my previous attorney knew I came from a working class background.    Phillip Bouklas is the quintessential gentleman and a grandmaster of estate law.  There is a reason why he is frequently sought out by as an esteemed lecturer and source of expertise for publications of national renown.  After outreaching, he galvanized other associates to assist me and this working class individual felt like I was the CEO of a conglomerate if not a cornucopia of benedictions.   Laura's ethical commitment to the interpretation of law is seamlessly juxtaposed by an unwavering loyalty to the client who does not feel like a fixed entity amidst a tumultuous sea of fearmongering customarily imposed by firms of questionable social and moral standing. With elegance, exceptional listening skills and inspiring integrity, my concerns were addressed in a manner that was never condescending or patronizing.  Further, Laura always knew where to get the information to corroborate her transparent legal advice as confirmed in a follow-up call made after business hours for my sole benefit.  That selfless gesture reminded me that wealth is measured in human terms. Voltaire once said that appreciation is a wonderful thing as "it makes what is appreciated belong to us as well."  I can only aspire to one day appropriate myself with the decency and multifaceted intelligence embodied by this firm.

We have been looking for a creative estate planning attorney in NYC for years. We finally found him. Philip Bouklas advised us regarding forming LLCs and a Trust. We received great advise and excellent client care. He is very knowledgable and has lots of patience. We were very happy and highly recomm...end him.

From estate planning, to securing proper wills and health care protection, to seeing a very challenging and complicated business transaction to a successful completion, Philip Bouklas has never demonstrated anything but the utmost integrity and professionalism. Whether by e-mail or direct phone call...s, Philip is prompt and direct in responding to any question that may arise. He always presents a calming, reassuring demeanor, and his actions demonstrate an outstanding knowledge of the law. As a practicing dentist for the past 30 years, I can appreciate the dedication that Philip has to his clients, and he sincerely takes pride in placing his client's best interest before everything else. It is both refreshing and a pleasure to know that such legal counsel is just a phone call away. In reference to my difficult business transaction which Philip was instrumental in bringing to a successful conclusion, one interaction stands out as a testament to his dedication. After receiving a frantic phone call from me late in the day, Philip had me come right over to his office, extending his day and making me feel like I had his complete attention. I must also say that the fees for Philip's professional counsel are more than fair and reasonable. I always felt that the services which he provided were more than fairly reflected in the fee charged.

My family and I have been working with Philip since 2006. He handled my mother's estate planning issues advised her of the best course of action for her particular situation; and then prepared all the legal documents necessary. He's extemely knowledgeable on the law, professional in demeanor witho...ut being cold and detached. He even went the extra yard to secure and protect my assets as the heir including preparing estate documents for me. We appreciate all he has done for my family because legal matters are foreign to us and fairly daunting. I have recommended him on more than one occassion and will continue to do so.
