Ava is the real deal, an excellent attorney, one who will fight very hard for her client. She tells you the “real truth” of what to expect in your case. I have the privilege of retaining Ms. Gutfriend for my divorce proceeding and I am so please with her professional handling of my case with all the ...different misleading tactics my ex throw at us.

I thought my divorce was gonna basically destroy my world and damage my kids in the process and it almost did. Not a day goes by that I don't believe I made the absolute correct choice in retaining Ava's services. She talked and walked me through the whole process from completing papers to how the c...ourt rooms actually works. What to expect and how to conduct myself. She advised me on taking notes on everything like days and nights I spent with my children, and incidents and expenses no matter how small or big. Thanks to Ava my divorce is near finalized and she was able to assist me in getting a custodian agreement that I wouldn't have ever thought I would be able to obtain in spending time with my children. She was firm and relentless in court that the other side of the case had no choice but to settle. My particular case didn't have much court room drama or explosive court battles but it was still difficult, stressful and at times hard to handle. My children mean everything to me and every second I know have with them is becuase of her dedication to my case as if I was her only client. I can't thank Ava enough for all she did.

Ava Gutfriend, when I hear of, speak of or merely think of that name in my mind it is a name that is equivalent to (Caring, Courteous, Excellence, Dependable, Focused, Hard Working, Honest, Knowledgeable, Loyal, Passionate, Respectful, Responsive and Trustworthy). Ava is an attorney that truly cares ...about the cases she takes on and believes in the clients she chooses to represent. Ava's character, knowledge and professionalism far exceeds any of the of the lawyers I've chosen to represent me in the past and those whom I've come in contact with throughout my experiences with the family court system. My name is Albert French and I became a client of Ava Gutfriend in 2013 after my seven year old twin children reported to me that they were being Mistreated, Neglected and Sexually Assaulted by their mother and her live in boyfriend. As you can imagine after hearing such horrific news my one and only thought was to remove my children from this toxic environment as soon as possible. I immediately contacted ACS (Administration for Children's Services), NYPD (New York Police Department) and the law office of Ava Gutfriend and ever since retaining Ava she has handled every aspect of my case, ensuring my children's safety. I am writing this review to all those whom are willing to read it and this includes you Ava, had it not been for all of your advise, expertise, hard work and support, being by my side throughout this entire ordeal I do not know where my children would be right now or what direction this case might have taken. If and when ever the question is asked "Do you recommend and trust that Ava Gutfriend can handle any and every family court matter" my answer has always been and forever will be "YES" I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Ava can and I hope after reading this review you walk away feeling the same sense of certainty I do regarding Ava's ability. Retaining an amazing attorney that will represent you with over twenty years of experience in all family court matters ranging from Alimony / Spousal Support, Divorce, Child Abuse / Neglect, Child Custody, Child Support, Domestic Violence, Enforcement of Court Orders, Guardianship / Adoption, Modifications, Orders of Protection, Prenuptial Agreements, Paternity, Relocation, Uncontested Divorce and Visitation gives you the peace of mind not every attorney can afford their clients so take my word for it you need look no further than Ava Gutfriend. Respectfully, Albert
