Excellent, caring divorce attorney

Gary was recommended to me as a "pit bull" who would make sure I came away from my divorce with the best possible financial settlement and parenting plan. Both of these things happened but more than that, Gary was compassionate and kind during the whole process. And because of him, my divorce only to...ok 16 months which I have been told is not too long for this process. Gary's fees are not outrageous and he does not nickel and dime you for every thing he does. He is thorough and on top of everything. I highly recommend Gary Avratin as a divorce attorney.

Highly Recommended - The Best

Gary was recommended to me by an attorney who opposed him. That attorney told me that Gary was the only one he would recommend to me. And his recommendation was spot on. Gary took the largest case file most lawyers have ever seen, 8 open complaints with multiple partial judgments over a 6 year period..., multiple aspects of legal and physical custody, finance, police reports, GAL reports, depositions, parent coordinator, psychologists, and split siblings. Gary, in only a few months, pulled together the entire case, organized it, applied a winning strategy, and executed the strategy and plan. Six years of open issues were solved in only a few months start to finish (3-day trial). Gary and his paralegal, Helene, are an amazing, organized, knowledgeable team that I have not seen rivaled in this local industry of divorce law. My children and I are grateful to Gary for setting the standard that other attorneys should aspire to.

Gary will get you what you deserve and make sure that you are taken care of.

I worked with Gary when I was divorced 15 years ago and he was fantastic.Last month we went back to court to re-visit some issues and once again he did a FANTASTIC job.He never falters or looses his ground.If you want to have the best by your side,see your children and recieve what is yours then you ...must use the services of Gary S. Avratin.Also,donot ever lie down for anyone.That is what you will learn.

A job well done

Thank you and Helene for all your efforts in my trial last week. I couldn't believe the amount of time that went into preparing, planning and executing for the 2 day trial! You are a very busy lawyer. When my trial date was set, I had worries that you might not have enough time for me and you would ...be distracted with your other workload. But you proved that I was wrong. You were in the office at 5:00 AM and didn't stop all day. I know you gave up time with your family to help mine and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Your constant focus on what was best for my children, your attention to detail, your' dedication to the facts and your tremendous effort helped achieve the best possible outcome. We worked great together as a team. I and my children thank you. I hope my nightmare is over and I don't have to go to court ever again, However, I am more at ease now knowing that I will have someone who's dedicated and experienced to depend on if such occasion rise again.

My Xavier

Gary Avratin – ‘ The Man, The Myth, The Legend’. This MAN definitely knows what he is doing, my case involved complex international removal of my 2 children, Gary was not the lawyer I originally started the case with, I came to Gary in the middle of the case when things went completely bad. It is no...t easy to take a case in the middle of its proceeding and that too when it is about to go to trial and unravel the past issues, But this man did it. It is still a MYTH for me as to how he unraveled the past messes and turned the table. He is a true LEGEND, very professional, trusted advisor who guides and directs the client in the right path and sets the right expectation in terms of outcomes. I would have lost my children to a non-hague country and would have never seen my children at all, it is Gary and his assistant Helene who helped me, guided me throughout the process and ensured the success. Thanks to both of you from the bottom of my heart.
