We retained Mr. Shilling to assist us with a Contract Litigation matter. We paid him a $2,500 retainer up-front. He was very confident and seemed knowledgeable. He even commented that the opposing party would "drop everything" once they received his letter. The problem was, he did not send a letter. He sent a simple email that we could've easily composed ourselves. No letterhead, nothing - Just a few lines on the screen, as if writing to a friend. We felt it was very unprofessional, and without effect. We went ahead and retained a different attorney to assist us with our issue. Mr. Shilling advised us that, per the retainer agreement that we signed, he was entitled to the entire retainer and was not obligated to return any of the funds. Really? That would have been somewhat understandable, had he done a substantial amount of work... but he sent an email. That's it - an email. Very unprofessional. We were shocked. and wondered if his actual practice is simply keeping retainers. After all, $2,500 is pretty good compensation for typing a few lines in the body of an email. Don't waste your time or money.

Very untrustworthy due to multiple lies that he was caught him telling. This is very unprofessional.

Bill is not only a professional and the best at what he does, he is also kind and willing to bend over backwards to get the job done. I highly recommend and will use for all my future needs.

Bill was referred to us by our broker and was a terrific partner for us as first-time homebuyers. He was transparent, accessible, and reliable during the contract process. Moreover, he was extremely patient with us as we were experiencing a deal-breaking delay with our lender. Bill recommended another lender, who swooped in at the eleventh hour and completely saved the day. Were it not for Bill's recommendation, and the tireless work of Mike Maloney at Homestead, we would have lost the house or been required to wait until after filing our taxes to begin the whole process all over again. Thankfully, Bill's expertise and unique knowledge of our situation got us in touch with the right lender and closed our deal quickly. Bill's experience, advocacy, and overall kind demeanor made a typically stressful experience much easier. We'll continue to give glowing (and accurate) reviews of our experience with Bill and I look forward to recommending him to anyone looking to purchase a home in Westchester County.

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 few difficult situations. He’s amazing at diffusing escalating anger! Totally, 100% would recommend him!

I was really impressed by their efforts to get my closing completed in a timely manner. While in the middle of a pandemic, it’s understandable that they would be delays, but William Shilling made sure that everything went according to plan. Not very stressful!

I was both selling and purchasing a home and my real estate broker recommended Mr. Shilling. I would highly recommend using them, they provided excellent representation, helped to make the experience seamless, and most importantly the whole team was pleasant, knowledgeable and very responsive. They handled everything quickly and professionally. I could not have been happier.

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.

There is a reason this law firm is always busy! Bill and his staff did an amazing job with my closing this past year. Their timeliness and preparation really made this very stressful event a very relaxing experience. Whenever I had a question or problem, Bill and his were quick to respond.

I recently retained the Law Office of William Shilling to handle a real estate closing for me. I found the staff to be extremely responsive and professional. Any time I had any questions someone was able to help me. The process was quicker and easier than I expected and I would definitely recommend Bill and his staff to friends and family.

We retained the services of Mr. William A. Shilling, Jr. PC for the recent purchase of our new home. Being first-time home buyers, we were extremely anxious and did not know much about the process. Mr. Shilling and his staff were extremely professional, kind and courteous throughout the transaction. We highly recommend his office for your real estate needs.

So very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism from this group. They are always responsive and helpful. Bill helped us coordinate the sale of our home so we could then purchase a new home and negotiated a 1 week rent back so we hadn’t time to move out. So pleased I recommended him to my daughter and they represented her on her 1st home purchase. Doesn’t get better than Bill Shilling & his team!
