Great Lawyer! Great Human!

Gary has helped me on several cases over the last 15 years and has been very successful on my behalf. His work ethic and tenacity are beyond question. Gary thinks out of the box in approaching each situation so you are not stuck with a lawyer who looks at the law and interprets things verbatim. He is... compassionate and caring in his approach to his clients.I highly recommend Gary for any legal situation.

Great Divorce Attorney

I was referred to Gary Avratin by someone who had experience with Attorney Avratin because his former wife was represented by Attorney Avratin in their divorce. If you are looking for a divorce attorney with intelligence and compassion, Attorney Gary Avratin fits the bill! During this emotionally dra...ining time, Gary and his paralegal Helene LoConte were there for me at every step of the way. Gary and Helene have an amazing ability to work diligently and efficiently as a team. They had a sincere concern for my financial security. I am truly grateful for the special treatment and results that I have received from Attorney Gary Avratin and Helene LoConte.

Highly recommend

I am profoundly grateful to Gary for his help. Throughout the divorce process, he has been a considerate, kind and affective lawyer. I was not only impressed by his knowledge but also by his humanity. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

After 8 years with a previous attorney who could not resolve my paternity case, Gary was recommended to my by a friend. I called Gary on December 21st (2011), left a message, and within a couple of hours, he returned my call. On June 4th (2012) Gary was able to get my case resolved, thus putting stre...ss behind me. What is most important is that Gary has never met me. I reside in Florida, however, my paternity case was in MA, and due to illness, I was never able to travel to MA to meet with him personally. This did not deter Gary in any way from taking on my case and handling it in a professional, yet precise and concise manner. Through his review of my (8 yr) file with the previous attorney, Gary discovered errors and omissions (which the previous attorney did not recognize)which helped bring my case to fruition. He was able to draft an agreement which both parties (plus the judge) found to be more than fair and acceptable. Gary is a down to earth, "regular" guy with a sense of humor, yet thorough, cut to the chase, non-judgmental, with reasonable attorney fees. He was always compassionate, and caring about me and my family (again, while never physically meeting me). I highly recommend Gary.

team approach

Gary is a busy lawyer for a good reason. He's smart, driven to find the truth, detailed, hardworking, results oriented and he cares about your family and genuinely wants to help you. He knows the law, he knows the players and he knows how to get the best outcome. To merely say he'll work hard for you... and your family is an understatement-he's in the office early (5:30 AM) and works late. As a Father in Massachusetts, I knew I would have a difficult time. Gary put me to work and together we dug for the details. Honestly, some of the things we found surprised me. Then Gary went above and beyond with his own research. His philosophy is that he'd rather have the facts and not need them, than to need the facts and not have them. He then compiled everything, organized a strategy and delivered results. Gary takes a team approach, so expect to do your homework. In my mind there's no better way to approach it and no one better to represent you.
