Gary S Avratin

Gary is a compassionate attorney who I was fortunate to find. He was my second attorney and I did a lot of research before making the decision to hire Gary. My divorce was quite complicated as it involved a young child, a restraining order, a business and several pieces of real estate all of which ...were highly contested. Gary navigated me seamlessly though understanding our strategy, supported by case law, and confidently advocated for me in my many court appearances. He was always extremely organized, diligent in his efforts and always took the time to check in on me to ensure I was doing ok. My divorce took many unexpected twists and turns and he was always my calming force, strong and steady and was able to comb through many messy details of my case. Almost 2-years in we were headed for trial and if you think your case might also go to trial, you want Gary as your attorney! He’s experienced with the process which has many rules different from normal court appearances. Gary also has a comprehensive understanding of financials which was needed in my case as it involved a complicated business and real estate valuations. He found errors in valuations in the opposing side, all which were confirmed to be valid and forced them to correct their position. He was also always very diligent in all his pleadings to ensure I was properly protected. I am grateful I did not end up in trial, but If I did I would not have wanted anyone else to defend me. We were fortunate to settle the case when my ex’s first attorney(Katie Murphy) quit and he got another one, who finally brought a sense of reason to the table and Gary and her were able to settle my case. What stands out the most about Gary is that remembered some of the smallest details that I had even forgotten, he was always considerate of how I was feeling and is extremely zealous and successfully argued and won virtually every time we were before the judge. He knows family law very well and I always trusted his advice and direction, which always panned out positively for me. Gary is also supported by his associate Helene who is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and an attorney herself making them a very strong team. My case overall took a little over two years to settle and most of which I had Gary as my attorney. He always made himself accessible even on weekends, early mornings and evenings, and he is not like most other attorneys charging for every minute you speak with them. I felt like he was always considerate on the billing and often did not charge me for things. He is a reasonable compassionate and very knowledgeable attorney and I would choose him again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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.
