Ethical , Honest Attorney

In my experience working with Gary Avratin, I found him to be highly knowledgeable about the legal system. He presented himself with a confident and assertive demeanor. I found Gary to be an ethical and pragmatic attorney who approaches his work with a focus on facts rather than emotions. He is cauti...ous and takes a conservative approach to ensure the best protection for his clients. In the courtroom, Gary was always prepared and was a commanding presence, effectively communicating his points in a clear, organized manner. He is a genuinely ethical attorney, a quality that is increasingly rare in the field. He takes great care to review all materials with clients before submitting anything to the Probate Court, ensuring that every detail is thoroughly vetted. His communication is timely, as he is prompt in forwarding emails and responding to client inquiries. Gary’s primary concern is always the best interests of his clients, and he strives for amicable resolutions when appropriate that help build better relationships between parties. I would hire Gary again

Bulldog for hire

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.

Knowledgable, Collaborative and Efficient

Gary Avratin was not only knowledgeable in my specific situation but compassionate and very collaborative. His firms combined experience proved to be invaluable. Willing to go above and beyond traditional measures to protect my interests, and he remains committed to following through and closing out ...all post divorce issues. He lives up to his earned reputation and will be your best advocate. The opposing council will have their work cut out for them if you hire Gary!

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.

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.
