Gary S Avratin

Attorney Gary Avratin and Helene did an amazing job helping me through a very emotional divorce. My initial lawyer did not give me any copies of my ex’s information that made it impossible to build a case. She also refused to speak to me outside of rigidly scheduled appointments sometimes weeks in ad...vance. Gary and Helene are always available to their clients. Even during a global pandemic we managed to build and present a solid case against my ex and have a successful outcome. Gary is aggressive but not greedy, he seeks to get what is fair for his clients but does not promise anything beyond that. Special shout out to Helene – she is sweet and calm and a huge part of the team.

I hired Gary formally as my divorce lawyer after a failed attempt without him at mediation. He has been extremely helpful in all aspects of this process. Everything from informing me of the law (even when I didn't like what I heard), keeping the opposition lawyer in-step with all disclosures, and dra...fting a professional and detailed settlement agreement to finally finish this process. Gary has been an advocate, level headed, highly professional, and incomparable in working within the law to achieve the best possible outcome. Gary and his staff (particularly Helene) have my highest possible recommendation for anyone going through this process. I also want to commend Gary for not killing me with costs and providing me a bill that was fair and reasonable, and in the end less expensive than my mediation process was. Thanks Gary!

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.

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.

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.
