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.

Thank you

Gary Avratin was recommended to me by a friend. I have since recommended him 3 times. The divorce process is not easy. The legal process is long and can be incredibly frustrating. I think, Gary was a great lawyer and advocate for me as I moved along in the process. He listened and responded to me in... a timely manner. He wants to do the right thing for his clients. Helene was a constant professional adding her insights as needed along the way. They make a great team. I am not advocate of divorce but if you find yourself in that position……interview a few people and put Att. Gary Avratin on the top of that list.

Gary Avratin is a miracle worker!

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!

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.

A job well done

Thank you and Helene for all your efforts in my trial last week. I couldn't believe the amount of time that went into preparing, planning and executing for the 2 day trial! You are a very busy lawyer. When my trial date was set, I had worries that you might not have enough time for me and you would ...be distracted with your other workload. But you proved that I was wrong. You were in the office at 5:00 AM and didn't stop all day. I know you gave up time with your family to help mine and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Your constant focus on what was best for my children, your attention to detail, your' dedication to the facts and your tremendous effort helped achieve the best possible outcome. We worked great together as a team. I and my children thank you. I hope my nightmare is over and I don't have to go to court ever again, However, I am more at ease now knowing that I will have someone who's dedicated and experienced to depend on if such occasion rise again.
