William Shilling Legal team

I am a very experienced Real Estate Broker and I keep a very short list of Attorneys I recommend and Bill and his team are on that list. They are responsive and there’s always someone who can answer a question on a transaction. I had 2 Closings with him today! I’ve seen him action with more than a fe...w difficult situations. He’s amazing at diffusing escalating anger! Totally, 100% would recommend him!

Seamless and professional

I met with Bill and his team while recently purchasing a home in the Carmel/Mahopac area. They did an outstanding job outlining and explaining the series of steps that were to be taken throughout the process, while also detailing specific legal implications, best practices, potential challenges, and ...timelines. His team was great about communicating the progress of our case, and always shared what the next step would be. At the closing, we were fully aware and up to speed on the situation and felt comfortable that the proper amount of due diligence has been executed. This allowed us to feel confident that nothing has slipped through the cracks, and nothing would hold up the purchase of our house.
