Avia Rice Gauthier

I hired this firm to help me appeal my divorce judgment, and it was one of the worst professional experiences I’ve ever had. After paying thousands of dollars, absolutely nothing was done. Communication was almost nonexistent — emails and calls were rarely returned, and when I did get a response, it ...lacked clarity, urgency, or any real strategy. There was no follow-through, no clear action taken on my case, and no sense that anyone was truly advocating for me or my children. I trusted this attorney to guide me through one of the most emotionally difficult seasons of my life, and instead, I was met with delay, indifference, and complete lack of effort. This law firm displayed everything a family lawyer should not: lack of transparency, poor communication, and zero sense of accountability. I would not recommend them to anyone — especially not someone needing real support through a sensitive and high-stakes legal matter.

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.

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.
