William Salvatore Gillen

Wife and I just sold our house in Brooklyn from our new home in California. Will was hands down the best attorney we've worked with and he made the process clear and easy, from start to finish - this was made especially challenging given COVID and being across the Country. Will had our confidence fro...m the first minute and kept it throughout the closing - and he came with a very strong recommendation from our broker, so his reputation is known widely across the Brooklyn market. Thank you, Will, for making a challenging experience a pleasure. If we have real estate attorney needs in NY again, we will be coming back to you. Thank you!

Will was a godsend on two issues related to my elderly mother. The first involved providing expert consultation on our options for protecting her assets were to face the need for expensive longterm care in a nursing home. He spent 90 minutes with us at no charge, explaining clearly and concisely wh...at our choices were and what the relative merits/demerits were to each. He saved me hours of web searching that almost certainly would have resulted in a flawed understanding. Instead, I was clear and new exactly what next steps should be. As it turned out, we didn't retain Will to take those steps because we unexpectedly took advantage of an opportunity to move my mother closer to my sister in New Jersey. We turned to Will to serve as our real estate attorney and he brought the same level of competence, attention to detail, and client support to this task. He made the entire process effortless. I can't recommend him highly enough for either elder care issues or real estate matters. Were my mother still in New York, he'd be our go-to guy. I can't imagine anyone more competent, more reasonable in terms of expense, or more pleasant to deal with.

It was great working with Will, who managed the sale of our house. In addition to be responsive to questions and requests he was proactive in getting all necessary work done in a timely fashion. Because of his competence and great organization skills the house closing went so smoothly. He's a winne...r and I highly recommend him.
