      Adam has been a great asset in several real estate transactions. Buyers or Sellers who choose to go it alone, only have themselves to blame when something goes wrong. Atty Avratin is knowledgeable and his advice has been timely and beneficial. Highly recommend

      Caring, Compassionate and Excellent Attorney

      Posted by

      Adam assisted us in reviewing our Trust Documents to insure all was correct and understood. We found him to be a very compassionate and caring person. He met with our attorney who wrote the trust and asked all the questions we did not think of. Between the two of them we ended up with an excellent trust document.

      Adam Avratin... excellent lawyer!

      Posted by

      Adam Avratin has been representing me and my son in a custody case for the past five years. During this time, Adam exhibited the highest level of care for my son – and for what is right and just in life (and in the court/world of law). In working with Adam, it became quickly clear to me that Adam was (is) incredibly versed in the rules of law, and he was always incredibly well prepared for discussions. Most important, he was prepared and very articulate in front of the judge. In my case, Adam was far better than the attorney representing the other side, and in every situation, Adam out-classed and out-smarted the other attorney – but not in a sleazy or manipulative way. Rather, Adam knew the facts better, knew the “lawyer rules” better, and knew the case better. And he articulated this so very well to the judge. As a result of Adam's work, I now have 50-50 custody with my son... not an easy feat in the state of Massachusetts. Making it even more difficult were the manipulative tactics and “stretched facts” that the opposing attorney presented. But Adam never gave up nor did he resort to such tactics. He focused on what was best for my son and what the laws would support. I’m now approaching the third year of 50-50 time with my son. My son is healthier, happier, and life is much better (for everyone) because of the new custody arrangement.

      Knowledgeable & Effective Attorney

      Posted by

      I have utilized the services of Attorney Adam Avratin in numerous capacities over the past 6 years, i.e.: divorce, mediation, will & estate planning, property transfer, defensive litigation. He has proven his knowledge, skill and professionalism in each and every circumstance and his fees are reasonable in comparison to other quotes obtained. Although I prefer a more communicative style, Adam's preparation & effectiveness consistently supersede my whim — His results take precedence instead. I highly recommend him to family, friends and peers, and I strongly suggest that you at least consult with him before choosing an attorney.

      The Real Deal

      Posted by

      Adam was the real deal. Knowledgeable, passionate and prepared. I wish I had his representation from the start of my divorce. After a couple of years of going through this exhausting process and frivial motions from the other side he put a stop to it with authority. His presence in the courtroom was unmatched from what I've seen in the family law area. When it came right down to brass tax he was at his best, I was lucky to find him at the time I did as a lot was at stake for me. - He delivered.

      The right combination of Compassion and Agression

      Posted by

      Adam is a great attorney. His knowledge of family law is second to none; and his compassion and empathy are unmatched. Attorney Avratin's professionalism and expertise in the courtroom is something special to watch. He fought hard for my cause but was always respectful of the Judge who clearly shared the respect. I would strongly recommend Adam to serve you and your family.

      Steven Schwartz, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 11, 2015
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Adam is the go to guy for all things related to domestic relations. I have worked with him personally and do not know of a more tireless and more fierce proponent for his clients. He knows when to push and when to back off. He knows his way around the courtroom and what each judge wants and expects, which gives him an upper edge on those he is facing. At the same time, he is incredibly compassionate and makes his clients feel comfortable at a time of often great stress. His rates are also very reasonable and he does not nickel and dime for every little thing (something rare in legal circles). I can't recommend him highly enough. He gives a free consultation for those interested in meeting him. Just an all around great guy and great attorney.
