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.

LINEBACKER IN THE LEGAL MINE FIELD OF DIVORCE-

Bill Gautier Jr., is magnificently protective of his clients. When a divorce was eminent and I just didn’t know who I could trust. I started asking friends, which turned into them asking their friends, and so on. I received several endorsements, made some calls, and just didn’t get the feeling I was ...being heard. Then I placed a call to the second to the last name on my list, (on a holiday no less, thinking I would leave a message and see what happens). To my surprise Bill answered the phone, I was stunned. I didn’t think any LAWYER worked when the courthouse is closed. We spoke for quite some time, me explaining my circumstances and he listening intently. I didn’t become a client until months later when all my options had been exhausted, trying to save a 16 yr. marriage. My circumstances are far different from the majority of his clients, as I am disabled. I worried how I was going to get to his office, how was I going to plan for the future, was he the right attorney for me? My fear quickly faded when he recognized the dilemma I was in and offered to come to me. Rather than making me jump through hoops to get to him. This, my dear reader, is the true measure of a man…he cares. While the proceedings propel me forward, and opposing council continues to interfere with negotiations of settlement. Bill Gautier Jr. and Daniel Silver both have my back. Final Judgment is just around the corner, the finish line is in sight. I will embark on a finer future than I originally anticipated, because of these two exceptional attorneys, men and linebackers in the mine field of divorce.

Excellent Counsel

I am very pleased with the service I received from Mr. Gautier and his firm. When I hired Mr. Gautier to handle my case early March of 2012, it seemed it would be an open-and-shut case. Once my initial filing for divorce was served, things rapidly deteriorated turning my case into a lengthy and ver...y contentious fifteen months, all perpetrated by my now ex-wife. Mr. Gautier, Mr. Silver, and his whole support staff stayed on-point and always worked in my and my children's best interest. I was treated professionally and compassionately during one of the most difficult times in my life. Their commitment to my case was complete and total, even including times in which he, Mr. Silver, and his office staff were off on personal time. My case was settled satisfactorily avoiding a costly and lengthy trial. In addition to my divorce proceedings, Mr. Gautier and Mr. Silver aggressively and professionally handled a bogus charge against me by overturning that charge and having it dismissed as well as convincing the court to levy an order of no contact against the accusing party. I highly recommend this firm for its experience, its staff, and its professionalism.
