Divorce

I was referred to Gary by my financial advisor of 13 years. I was faced with divorce after 40 years of marriage.It was complicated by the fact my ex was retired military. Gary made it his business to educate himself on all aspects of the military law regarding divorce.Gary with his endless energy and... attention to detail,and Helene, his paralegal, with her calm and compassionate nature make the perfect team. They are extremely knowledgeable in all areas of divorce and family law.They both took the time to educate,support and guide me through this difficult process.Gary always handled himself with the highest standard of professionalism.He is well respected throughout the court system.After a 5 year battle, the outcome was all in my favor.I cannot express my love and gratitude I feel for for Gary and Helene. They will always be very special to me.I would highly recommend them to represent anyone in a divorce or family law case. Donna B.

More than Just a Great Attorney!

I met with Gary one morning before work. I did some research prior to setting up an appointment and wanted someone that I thought would listen to my situation. Gary not only was extremely accommodating through the course of our discussion he gave me some really good resources and said to me "you ar...e not ready for a divorce". With his resources I was able to work on piecing my marriage back together. I never had an attorney talk in such a straight forward manner. I believe Gary really cares. We explored many options and at the end of our visit I realized this guy was interested in the human element too. I never got the divorce, but stay in touch with Gary. I would highly recommend him.

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.

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.

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.
