Gil Howard Vilkas

I have used Gil Vilkas for many years as my real estate attorney in various corporate and personal real estate matters.   His breath of knowledge of the industry and his advice to me personally has been invaluable. He has represented me in numerous closings and transactions over the past 20 years ...– including real estate purchases, leasing, buy-sell agreements as well as the implications regarding estate planning.   He has always found ways not to just save me thousands of dollars on a given transaction, but to also notice subtle clauses to better protect my interest.   In addition to his vast breadth of knowledge and sharp skill, Gil is one of the most accessible attorneys I have ever met.  He unflinchingly speaks with me late evenings and during weekends any time I have a question.   I trust Gil implicitly and am so incredibly grateful that he has represented me for the past 20 years.   I most highly recommend Gil Vilkas for all of your real estate transactional needs. - Stan

Gil is a fantastic attorney! He closed on 2 properties for me this year and safes me approximately 100k between the two deals . He has very keen to understanding about the DOB and nuances of both commercial and residential deals . Gil licks up the phone every time I call him . I would retain him agai...n on my next purchase.

I am so thankful and appreciative that I was referred to Gil Vilkas. Gil Vilkas did an exceptional job representing me and my husband during our recent Manhattan coop purchase, working with a very demanding coop board. His expertise was extremely valuable - for me in particular - since we did ...not use a real estate broker. Not only did he guide us in our legal issues with our contract but he also helped negotiate many challenging concerns that arose as well. After we were already in contract, the seller insisted on staying in the apartment for an additional 6 months. Gil craftily negotiated a clever way to keep me both financially - and mentally - protected to permit her limited extended stay. Gil brilliantly guided us through this complicated process, always acting extremely professional. If it wasn’t for Gil, we wouldn’t have been able to purchase this apartment. Even the seller said she wish she had Gil as her own attorney. I highly recommend Gil and will definitely use him again to represent us on our next transaction.
