Avia Rice Gauthier

STAY AWAY! Run! She’s dishonest, will advise it’s posible to get you all the things you want, once you’re on the hook, she will gaslight you and say she never said such things and bill you for chasing them when they don’t respond to any form of communication in a timely manner. They will make up bill...ing/invoices and when confronted they will make up some other billing and threaten you to keep billing you if you don’t budge- of course, she knows to be clever and take advantage when she knows you’re focused on a bigger battle. She is not there for her client, she could care less about running you down and your life by her lack of integrity with legal advice. She will say this is not true just like any other negative review. You been WARNED! She should not be practicing family law.

Ms. Gauthier was rolled by my spouse's attorney and lead me down a path that was most certainly going to cause me to lose my children. I was called a drug user, blamed for her failure in my case as well as told me her "plan had changed" based on my finances. She allowed a drug test to be taken in a p...ublic bathroom. Very unprofessional, used unprofessional grammar when emailing clients and lacks the knowledge to go toe to toe with a more skilled attorney. Needless to say, I now have a 50/50 split and everything Ms. Gauthier couldn't do for me my new attorney did with ease. Do not be pressured in keeping an attorney if you aren't comfortable with them. FYI I can post anonymously, as an attorney you should know it's my right to do so. I hope you also find my review interesting since I posted anonymously.

I hired Avia Gauthier to get my child back. Avia have only been practicing for 4 years and have no knowledge to be practicing family law period. I never went through anything like this and she did not prepare me adequately for my hearing. The father of my child received more time than he should h...ave. In my opinion the good postings are bogus. It's also funny that they were all done recently. If you want to waste your money and lose your kids, yes hire this attorney. Otherwise, seek someone that knows the importance of your kids and what he/she are doing to help you.
