Amazing Attorney

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.

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.

Amazing Lawyer

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Gary Avratin was in regards to a custody case I recently had. He was instrumental in helping me receive shared legal and physical custody for my son, as well as setting up a parenting plan that is equal with both my sons Mother and I. Mr. Avratin... guided me through the entire process before and after court and was always in my corner seeing how I was doing and he relieved a lot of stress that I incurred in a very stressful moment in my life. He was very polite, showed compassion towards my situation and hit the ground running looking out for my son and I's best interest throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Gary Avratin's services to anyone looking for assistance as I can vouch for him to say he will give you nothing but the best. Mr. Avratin was highly recommended by someone that he helped previously and after everything was said and done I understand why. I cannot say enough how about much I appreciate everything he has done for my Son and I as being a Father in a custody case can be a nerve racking experience but as I said earlier he removed the stress from a stressful situation and walked next to me throughout the entire process.

Great Lawyer! Great Human!

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.

Excellent, caring divorce attorney

Gary was recommended to me as a "pit bull" who would make sure I came away from my divorce with the best possible financial settlement and parenting plan. Both of these things happened but more than that, Gary was compassionate and kind during the whole process. And because of him, my divorce only to...ok 16 months which I have been told is not too long for this process. Gary's fees are not outrageous and he does not nickel and dime you for every thing he does. He is thorough and on top of everything. I highly recommend Gary Avratin as a divorce attorney.
