Excellent service

I hired Mr. Gautier at the beginning of a very difficult family case, he was highly recommended by another attorney and he didn’t disappoint. From his staff at the office, very professional and empathetic, to Mr. Gautier itself, it is a service I would recommend to anyone in need of legal representat...ion. Mr. Gautier is detailed when organizing the case and gathering data, is excellent when developing a strategy to bring success to the case. Another aspect I would like to point out is the he takes the time to not only be prepared to defend the case in court, but he also takes the time to prepare you. For some of us, this is a highly sensitive, heartbreaking time and it can be extremely stressful, Mr. Gautier takes all the time to explain the different scenarios that may arise in court, he answers all your questions and makes sure you are as prepared as you can be to go through it. At the beginning of the case he told me he could not promise anything but he would promise me this “ that he would fight for my case with everything he got” and I can truly say he did that. I had extremely successful results, I obtained more than I asked! I can say with no doubt that if you are looking for a family attorney, Mr. Gautier is your best choice.

Truly the best!

Hiring Bill as my family law attorney was one of the best decisions of my life. He can highly recommended and has never let me down! He is excellent and rare balance of being extremely knowledgeable, open, honest and fair. Bill listens closely to his clients and their particular situations while dr...awing on his extensive experience to help navigate even the most difficult situations. I couldn't recommend anyone with higher regard for any of your family law needs.

One of a kind

There aren't enough adjectives to accurately describe my wonderful experience with Bill. Let's be honest, no one ever wants to need a lawyer but I can tell you first hand that Bill's attention to detail, his authenticity, sincerity, tenacity and unparalleled knowledge of the law is second to no one.... Form the moment I met Bill my mind and anxiety was put at ease. Most lawyers sit in a room while you're exposing your soul and fears with this blank stare. Not Bill. He asked questions, he took notes, and you could tell that he was invested. I went through other lawyers over the years and Bill was the first and only lawyer that when all was said and done - I KNEW that everything that could be done was done. No stone was left unturned and no issue was left by the way side. If it was important to me - it was important to Bill. My only wish is that I had found him years go when I first went through my divorce. Thank you Bill for all that you have done.

Mr

I cannot say enough about Mr. Gautier and his entire office staff. He has provided great assistance and support through my divorce process. Mr. Gautier is an aggressive and very competent attorney while also a caring, compassionate and well grounded person. I also found him to be an attorney wit...h great ethical and moral character. He is also an excellent trial attorney. I was impressed by the way he conducted himself in court. He was very professional, effective and thorough at every one of our hearings. He advised me in a level headed and way at every step of the way of the divorce process on the smartest and best course of action. He was always well prepared and ready to discuss my case. During difficult times in the divorce, I never had any issue communicating with him, even while he was on vacation, which was surprising to me. Mr. Gautier went out of his way on more than one occasion to assist me. When things changed and the issues got more complicated in my divorce, (I had health and medical problems during my divorce) he was always knowledgeable and ready to deal with the issues from a legal and moral standpoint and was supportive in in every way. His entire staff is also amazing and supportive, in particular I found Ms. Martin, his paralegal assistant, to be a very intelligent, caring and competent person. I believe I got the best possible results for my particular situation and I am grateful to have found Bill Gautier to help me through this extremely difficult process. He is an excellent attorney and a great person. I would highly recommend him to any prospective client.

You want the best? You found it!

Although all matters revolving children are each complicated in their own unique ways, our case is a shining example of the complexity of cases this team is capable of handling. I have come to know Mr. Gautier and his team very well over the last 4 years. Not only did he help us through the most ...difficult time in our lives, but he fought my case as if I were a part of his family. When Bill Gautier chose to take on my case, it was to ensure the protection of our (at the time) nonverbal 18-month old toddler. During my initial consultation with Bill he sat with me for over 4 hours noting every detail of my complicated case. He was very clear with me on the complexity of our case and of the outcome I could expect if I were to move forward. What truly impressed me, and gave me comfort that my child and I would be in the best possible hands, was that Bill informed me that under no circumstance would he accept dishonesty from his clients, nor would he jeopardize a case by being dishonest to a client or during legal proceedings. While opposing counsel continued to demonstrate unethical means to winning their case, Bill and his associate Daniel demonstrated their true and only definition of ‘winning’ was our daughter’s well-being, short and long term. Bill is honest, straightforward and ethical and his clients can expect no less! I highly recommend Bill Gautier. I completely trust his advice and the direction that he provided to me. I’m particularly awe struck by his intelligence, I was very impressed when the judge himself told me how great my attorney was. Bill and Daniels knowledge, constant support and remarkable problem-solving abilities are the reason that, what began with terrifying domestic violence allegations leading into a very complicated petition for modification, has resulted in our now 6-year-old child being able to freely receive the unconditional love of both her parents, equally. Thank you for all you have done for us!
