Attorney Gallo gave me information on my situation. It wasn't what I wanted to hear but at least I have idea of where I stand and I am very grateful for that information I have an idea of what I must do.

Great Job
Over the years I have done many real estate transactions with Mr. Gallo. I recently had 2 closings with Mr. Gallo that were a bit complicated. As always, Vinny got the job done, and I was very pleased with the results.

Replied last September 27, 2018Mary, thank you for the above comments. Your both closings that we recently completed did, in fact, come with some difficult "twists", but the goal was to overcome such obstacles. I laid out a plan for overcoming these obstacles, you took my advice, and mission accomplished in both instances. Again, thank you!

The absolute best!
Mr. Gallo is one of the most incredible lawyers I have encountered. He is like a bulldog and I mean that as a compliment! He makes sure his clients are well informed and know what to expect. He is prepared for whatever should come up, and is "ready for battle", if need be. He also has a wicked sense ...
Vincent Gallo
Replied last September 26, 2018Jai, thank you very much for your compliments. As you had personally witnessed with respect to your closing, I would not allow anyone bully you into closing unless and until the seller fully cleared all of the title objections affecting the real estate. You made it easy, however, because you readily took my advice which benefitted only you now and in the future. Because of that, you can sleep well at night knowing that everything is in order as to all aspects of the transaction. Again, thank you.
