Gary S Avratin

Gary Avratin is a miracle worker! I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through the difficult process of a divorce. In five months, Gary brought an end to my legal nightmare that had been dragging on for almost three years. When I came into Gary’s office in April 2012, I felt discouraged,... frustrated, and exhausted by the ineffective performance of my previous attorney. Gary’s integrity and compassion were immediately evident to me as I shared with him my legal problems. He and his paralegal, Helene LoConte, listened, asked questions, and took notes throughout our meeting. Gary’s high energy and Helene’s calm composure created an amazing dynamic that was exhilarating and uplifting. I left the office feeling hopeful for the first time since filing for my divorce in 2009. Gary and Helene made me feel like an essential part of their team. I felt empowered and enlightened whenever I came into the law office to study bank statements, legal documents, and correspondence from my case. Gary and Helene sifted through and organized stacks of mixed up files from my previous attorney. It became apparent that crucial documents were missing. They promptly took the necessary steps to obtain the needed documents. Gary went beyond my expectations and extensively researched aspects of my case that had gone unnoticed by my previous attorney. After years of litigation, I was able to avoid the cost and stress of going to trial because Gary had done such an incredible job preparing my case. Gary discussed all aspects of the settlement with me in great detail before I signed the agreement. He wanted to be sure that everything that was important to me was included in the document . By securing my divorce in a timely manner, Gary Avratin accomplished all that I had hoped for. I couldn’t be happier!

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.

Gary was not my divorce lawyer but I often I wished he was. I hired Gary after spending many thousands of dollars on a divorce which left me financially vulnerable and with an ex-husband who was in contempt of our separation agreement. Gary spent 1 1/2 hours with me, learning the facts of my case bef...ore he was even hired. He was confident that he could help me to rectify the situation and that confidence rubbed off on me. His fees were very fair (and I should know having been "churned" by my divorce lawyers) and he was very accessible by phone, email and even text. I would definitely hire him in the future if the need arose.

I subsequently recommended Gary to a close friend of mine who is going through a divorce. She is midway through the process and is very satisfied. This fall I retained Gary again to represent me in the recent sale of my home. His fees were very reasonable and, once again, he helped me remain calm as we navigated through several “glitches” relating to the buyers’ mortgage commitment.
