The best. You need look no further.

We’re well acquainted with Mr. Gallo and his firm, so we can speak from the head and the heart. Vince’s experience and attention to detail are legendary. He becomes familiar with every aspect of a deal and nothing escapes his notice. His integrity is beyond reproach. There are no shortcuts. Workin...g with his handpicked team, you can be sure that everything is checked, then double-checked, to ensure that it’s done right. In the last fifteen or so years, Vince has handled three closings for us: two sales and a purchase. We recently completed that second sale. Each deal was a little different, but Vince and his team got each closed without drama. Like most people, real estate closings are outside our everyday experience. Vince always had us fully prepared. He provided guidance and support, upon request, or as he perceived a need. It was a great boost to our confidence, when entering an arena not our own. Most of all, Vince is tenacious in defending the interests of his clients. He always made sure our deals went smoothly, but when the inevitable bump in the road arose, no one involved had to wonder whose side Vince Gallo was on. Special mention must be made to Vince’s Paralegal, Taylor Murphy. She was unfailingly available, providing fast and accurate information, and getting the answers to any questions we had. They work together extremely well. The Gallo team is one we’ve known and trusted for many years. There simply aren’t enough good things we can say. If you need a real estate attorney, look no further.

The best real estate attorney on Staten Island!

Vincent Gallo represented me on both my real estate sale transaction on Staten Island and then on my New Jersey purchase transaction. The sale transaction started off with another attorney who, unfortunately, really screwed up my sale. I panicked. Gallo was them referred to me by my brother, Gallo ju...mped in, swiftly, he completely resolved the mess created by my prior attorney on my sale and both deals closed with no issues. I swear I didn't sleep for a month before Gallo got involved. And he was really fair as to his legal fees because I realize with all the added work he had to do, I wouldn't have been surprised if he banged me out and he was really very fair and reasonable. It was obvious why people say that he's the best real estate lawyer around. He really knows the law and he was in full control. I saw that for myself. I will be recommending him highly. Yuen Chen
