William Salvatore Gillen

We worked with Will on the sale and purchase of 2 properties in Brooklyn. He was already readily available for all our questions and to walk us through documents and procedures that were new to us. He was the upmost professional in a particularly challenging closing conversation and has always been o...n our side. I would recommend Will to anyone

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 amazing to work with. He was always in contact with us during our mortgage loan process. Since this was our first home purchase, he had to explain everything to us which was done thoroughly. He also made recommendations to us throughout the process and we took his advice and we are happy tha...t we did.

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.

I hired Will as my attorney for purchasing a cooperative apartment. He was nothing short of professional and knowledgeable at assisting me through the process. Pays attention to detail and always keeps me in the loop of things that need to get done. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to ...purchase a new home.
