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.

I wish I had more hands so I could give this attorney four thumbs down and two fingers up! Lazy, no accountability, neglected my case, unprepared representation, excessive billing, no action taken ever. I would have been better served had I just kicked myself in the nuts and given my ex all the mo...ney I spent on this sorry attorney.

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.

Divorce case with child custody is nerve racking but through the whole process Mrs. Gauthier and her staff took the time to explain and answer all my questions, no matter what you will always have more questions and concerns but they always reassured me that I wasn't alone. I think the best part was ...that she is very professional and compassionate. They really care about your case and in my case saved me thousands of dollars and got ultimately what I thought was fair. In divorce and custody nothing seems fair so to feel as good as I do now says a lot about the job they did to get me what I wanted. I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Gauthier and will return if I ever have anymore issues that need to be resolved in the future

Avia Gauthier provided more than legal representation...she provide moral support and understanding during a difficult time as ending a marriage is not always easy but I could always depend on her to be knowledgeable, available and have my best intetest. Thank you, I have the utmost gratitude for the... legal services and support
