Mr. Vilkas' original fee of $575.00 turned into a $400.00 nightmare. He charged me for the simplest of things that should have been part of his "fee"! The only word that describes him is "Disgraceful". My entire experience with him throughout this ordeal was sickening. I am very sorry I hired him and would NEVER recommend him to ANYONE! This ordeal took a toll on my health.

Closed on a coop in June and Gil advertised a flat rate of $750 but later charged me $2000 at closing. Not once did I get a call from him along the closing process. I dealt more with the receptionist than anyone else... I definitely wouldn't recommend Gil for any real estate transactions based on my experience.

Gil Vilkas is a true professional. Handled and executed my real estate transaction in a very professional, courteous and diligent matter. Aside from being a great attorney, he is a great guy. I will definitely use him again and will recommend him.

On July 12 2013 Gil Vilkas executed a successful closing in Carle Place Long Island. I never met him but trusted his staff of people to do the negotiations which had a few issues such as an adverse claim due to a fence and a release of a very old line of credit from Chase back in 1999 placing a lien on the property being sold. At one point, I was worried BUT Gil came through with his many years of expertise in real estate transactions with a very successful closing. I highly recommend Gil Vilkas and his Staff for your next opening and or closing. Alan R

Our Father been working with Gil Vilkas since January 2013. In a beginning he was distant lawyer. Then he turned around and was more in touch. He is doing the selling on our house and the buying of our new home. He has been very patient with the buyer of our house. Since the selling transaction is taking a long time. The deal is not finish yet as this review is being written. Not only that he is a great lawyer but, a good looking one too, from a women's view. He is a very busy man but, he takes time for you when he can. We recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and interpersonal. His fees were as advertised and very fair. In fact, his suggestion to add a specific clause on our contract saved us over $25,000 off our previously agreed purchase price. He spent numerous hours working on our contract and was always available (even evenings and weekends) to discuss new issues as they arose. I have worked with prior attorneys on a number of properties and none have been as competent and honest as Mr. Vilkas.
