He gets it done

Gary has been excellent since the very beginning of my case. He was clear on what I needed to do, what he needed from me, and what he would provide. He gave sound advice throughout the process. He knows the law and the legal system, as well as the judges and other lawyers. The respect that he has ea...rned and his relationships are invaluable in navigating this process. He is available by phone, email and text, even on weekends when necessary. He is also very busy, since he is in high demand, so I learned to trust that if I left a message and the situation needed immediate action he would be on it. If I didn't hear back right away, then my issue was not a crisis and I could relax and he would get back to me as soon as possible. Divorce is a miserable experience to go through, but Gary helped make it manageable and got me the best possible outcome. I would absolutely hire him again.

I worked with Gary when I was divorced 15 years ago and he was fantastic.Last month we went back to court to re-visit some issues and once again he did a FANTASTIC job.He never falters or looses his ground.If you want to have the best by your side,see your children and recieve what is yours then you ...must use the services of Gary S. Avratin.Also,donot ever lie down for anyone.That is what you will learn.

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.

Review for Gary Avratin

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.

A Very Caring Lawyer

I had hopes that we could end our relationship peacefully and take back our initial investments. He thought differently & kept dragging me into court monthly. Then I hired Gary. He was recommended by a client. I can't say enough about Gary. During this difficult time, he was always well prepared fo...r court,("his" lawyer could never keep up, she was always fumbling for responses to Gary). He was very sharp, intelligent and honest. He expected honesty from his client. When an agreement was finallly made, (in my favor) he recommended a financial & legal team that was able to very swiftly(in record time) help me buy "him" out & end the year long nightmare. Because of Gary, I can finally relax. He's a great caring person as well as an excellent lawyer. I can't say enough good things about him.
