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.

Exceptional Attorney!

I hired Gary Avratin last year to represent me in my divorce, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Gary turned my life around when I was going through a period of financial and emotional stress. His knowledge of the law is invaluable. I could not have come through such a difficult tim...e without the help and dedication of his entire law office. He is an exceptional attorney, and I highly recommend him to anyone going who is going through a divorce.

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.

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.

Highly Recommended

Gary Avartin has been our lawyer for over a year. During that time we have worked together very closely, jointly developing strategies and dealing with all the issues that come up with divorce cases. We have been before the court for many emergency motions, a full trial and contempt charges (agains...t the other party) after the trial. I have sat in the courthouse many days for several hours awaiting our case to be called, and watched many other lawyers represent their clients. I state in an unqualified manner that there is no other lawyer I would want to have than Gary Avartin. He is a gem! He connects with his clients in a personal way and becomes part of the case. Throughout the entire process he kept us informed and educated us on the workings of the probate court, which can be very confusing and frustrating. Gary can be depended upon to do the right and ethical thing. He is very documentation and proof oriented. No detail is missed in “proving” his assertions. He is also relentless in finding information that can be used to defend or assert his position. When speaking to the court, Gary is compelling. He passionately presents his points and leaves nothing out. He is appropriately aggressive and defends his clients to highest standards. A close friend of mine has referred several others to Gary and without exception their opinions and experiences are the same. I recommend Gary fully and without hesitation would refer any personal friend or family member to Gary.
