Gary S Avratin

Attorney Gary Avratin and his paralegal Helene - let’s call them, Team Gary- worked effortless on my unique situation; and the displayed of perseverance in seeking favorable resolutions prior to my case going to trial. I am grateful for their time and attention they have spent on my case and the impe...ccable due diligence devoted a month prior to trial. My expectations from Team Gary are the trial preparation which they had already filed all the exhibits for consideration into evidence and to know the facts of my case. Team Gary's efforts did not go unnoticed by me. Again, greatly appreciated.

The divorce process can be painful both emotionally and financially. If you want an attorney who listens well, is compassionate and will have your back when you need protection, Gary is your guy. My case was exceptionally complex. When we arrived in court the opposing attorney commented on how mu...ch work Gary did on my agreement. Even the judge expressed how unusual it was to reach agreement without a trial. If he is ever delayed in responding to non urgent matters, be patient; he is worth the wait!

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!

Gary Avartin has been our lawyer for over a year. During that time we have worked together very closely, jointly developing strategies and dealing with all the issues that come up with divorce cases. We have been before the court for many emergency motions, a full trial and contempt charges (agains...t the other party) after the trial. I have sat in the courthouse many days for several hours awaiting our case to be called, and watched many other lawyers represent their clients. I state in an unqualified manner that there is no other lawyer I would want to have than Gary Avartin. He is a gem! He connects with his clients in a personal way and becomes part of the case. Throughout the entire process he kept us informed and educated us on the workings of the probate court, which can be very confusing and frustrating. Gary can be depended upon to do the right and ethical thing. He is very documentation and proof oriented. No detail is missed in “proving” his assertions. He is also relentless in finding information that can be used to defend or assert his position. When speaking to the court, Gary is compelling. He passionately presents his points and leaves nothing out. He is appropriately aggressive and defends his clients to highest standards. A close friend of mine has referred several others to Gary and without exception their opinions and experiences are the same. I recommend Gary fully and without hesitation would refer any personal friend or family member to Gary.

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.
