Great attorney

Gary and his team are consummate professionals. They know the Suffolk Court system well and were great guides in taking me through an unfortunate time. Gary is direct, creative and understands the law and what it means to come up with a fair compromise.

Amazing Attorney

Gary Avratin is an absolutely amazing attorney. With over 20 years of experience in family law, and family members in the same field he truly knows his business. From the moment I met Gary he was upfront and honest with everything. He educated me about the process so that I knew what to expect in cou...rt and therefore I was able to assist Gary in the preparation. Communication with Gary is easy whether it’s by phone or through email, he always makes it a priority to call or email back as soon as its physically possible for him. I even spoke with him on the weekends at times. If I couldn't get in touch with him, his paralegal Helene is always by the phone ready to help in any way she could. Truly an amazing team! Unfortunately, my legal matter required a trial. Gary prepared me for the trial and together we prepared the evidence that was presented to the Judge. I knew when I walked into the court room that I was prepared and that my lawyer had what he needed to help me. Gary conducted himself with such professionalism. He clearly knows the rules of evidence and how to conduct a trial. The Judge found in my favor after reviewing multiple exhibits and hearing from several witnesses. I highly recommend Gary and Helene in The Avratin Law Office.

Amazing Lawyer

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Gary Avratin was in regards to a custody case I recently had. He was instrumental in helping me receive shared legal and physical custody for my son, as well as setting up a parenting plan that is equal with both my sons Mother and I. Mr. Avratin... guided me through the entire process before and after court and was always in my corner seeing how I was doing and he relieved a lot of stress that I incurred in a very stressful moment in my life. He was very polite, showed compassion towards my situation and hit the ground running looking out for my son and I's best interest throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Gary Avratin's services to anyone looking for assistance as I can vouch for him to say he will give you nothing but the best. Mr. Avratin was highly recommended by someone that he helped previously and after everything was said and done I understand why. I cannot say enough how about much I appreciate everything he has done for my Son and I as being a Father in a custody case can be a nerve racking experience but as I said earlier he removed the stress from a stressful situation and walked next to me throughout the entire process.

Feedback

In my short engagement with Gary he was very accommodating with my schedule. He would meet early at 7:00 am to accommodate my work schedule. He kept in touch to see how I was doing along the way. He returned my retainer as a professional courtesy when his services were no longer needed.

The Best family lawyer

I can not say enough about Gary. He took on my case at the last minute and treated it as if he had been there from the get go. Gary treated myself and my family like we were his family not someone who had hired him. When things were getting bad, he pushed me through and said "we" can do this, meaning... I wasnt in this alone. Gary and his assistant helene gave me the courage to keep going when i thought i couldn't. They let me cry when i needed and gave me all the compassion in the world. My fight for my family became their fight for my family. They made sure I understood everything that was going on and when I didnt understand, they took the time to explain it again. I always had a bunch of questions and I never felt like I was a bother to them for calling......again. Everynight before a court date,Gary would take time out of his personal day to call an reassure me that "we" were ready, and after hard days at court ,he would call and make sure that we were ok. I can not say enough about Gary, I would recommend him to everyone. I will be forever in his debt.
