It is hard to overstate how positive my family’s two experiences with Atty. Asaf Sarno have been. If one were to sit down and describe the qualities of a great criminal defense attorney, you would describe Atty. Sarno.
In the first case, a close family member with substance use issues was already on probation for non-violent related offenses when he re-offended. His case was referred to Superior Court where he was indicted and faced up to 5 years in a state penitentiary. He even failed to appear for a hearing. Fortunately, Asaf was available to take the case. Asaf deftly took advantage of errors and weaknesses in the state’s case. He also researched the sentencing history for similar cases, including that of the assigned judge. He also employed a PI to obtain relevant info to bolster the case. Although the DA’s office refused to make an acceptable plea deal, Asaf was confident that the case would resolve acceptably. In the end, the accused received extended probation – far better than jail time.
At all times, Asaf remained positive and optimistic. With his client’s permission, he kept us family in the loop so that we could be appropriately supportive. (We also attended every court appearance which Asaf assured us was very helpful.)
Meanwhile, another case (i.e. a different non-violent offense while under the influence) had been simmering for 2 ½ years. The original defense lawyer had assumed it would settle quickly. However, the prosecution again would not agree to an acceptable plea deal. It was apparent that the case would go to trial. It felt like a lost cause. My family member decided to get a 2nd opinion from Atty. Sarno. He instantly greeted us with positive energy and enthusiasm even before we explained the reason for calling him. We agreed to pay his reasonable fee to review the case. No guarantees but based on Asaf’s thorough review he presented three distinct approaches to the defense. Based on this and the prior experience with Asaf, he was hired to take over the case.
Attorney Sarno worked hard on this case, appropriately hiring a PI and a forensic psychologist to bolster the defense. Importantly, Asaf ALWAYS returned calls and emails in a timely manner – typically within 24 hours, even when he was in court on another trial. Also with his guidance, we solicited letters of support from family members, former counselors, etc.. All this led to being as prepared as possible for the trial. Asaf made a vigorous defense, for which he was congratulated by the judge! In the end, my family member was given probation with some strict but reasonable conditions – much better than the what the state had previously insisted on. Now my family member has a reasonable shot at wellness because staying in a treatment program is now possible.
There are many factors that play into the outcome of a criminal trial – the strength of the evidence, the skill and determination of the prosecution, the judge assigned, the defendant’s history, and the degree of support by family and friends. But certainly, a HUGE factor is the SKILL, DETERMINATION, POSITIVE DEMEANOR, and WORK ETHIC of the defense counsel. Asaf brings all of those qualities to his work – to an EXCEPTIONALLY high degree! Moreover, Atty. Asaf Sarno’s enthusiasm for his profession and dedication to his clients are what make him a head-and-shoulders standout in the criminal defense bar.
I hope you never need the criminal defense skills of Attorney Asaf Sarno, but if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you do. My advice: HIRE HIM!

I have nothing but good things to say about Attorney Sarno. I was charged with multiple counts of possession of a large capacity firearm without a FID card, facing up to 10 years in prison on each count, and Attorney Sarno was able to negotiate a custodial sentence of only 15 months (after the prosecutor pushed the court for 2x that amount) and three years' probation. Through additional research and investigation, Attorney Sarno uncovered multiple instances of misconduct committed by the District Attorney's Office and local PD, resulting in my probation sentence being cut in half! Attorney Sarno went far above and beyond my expectations for a criminal defense attorney. I am grateful for his diligence, expertise, and relentless effort to get the best possible outcome for me. I would whole-heartedly recommend Attorney Sarno to anyone who needs the BEST legal representation possible!

Gary and his team were amazing in supporting me, during a very difficult time in my life. Throughout my divorce and child custody process, Gary showed great empathy and genuinely cared about my case. I was coming from a bad experience with another attorney, but Gary and his team gave me faith in believing in the system again. They never made me feel alone and held my hand along the way. I couldn’t have had a better attorney representing me in court

Gary was phenomenal to work with during my divorce! I sincerely felt that he always had the best interests of my children and me at heart during my divorce. He checked in with me regularly to ensure I understood all of my options and handled all negotiations with confidence and compassion. Each and every step of the way was carefully thought out and no stone was left unturned. I could not have asked for better representation. Thank you Gary (and Helene) for getting me through the most difficult time of my life!

I found Gary Avratin through a friend of a friend and immediately could tell that he would be the right advocate for me as I unraveled a 20+ year marriage. By the time I found Gary, I had been considering divorce for a couple of years so I’ve interviewed multiple other attorneys and a mediator. In each of those interviews I was quickly told that there was not much to be done, we would just split things 50/50, including time with our child. No one else bothered to listen to all the facts behind what I was seeking. Gary listened and then negotiated a fair settlement with the help of a mediator. The process was not simple but Gary used his determination and knowledge to push through it all with my best interests in mind.
I selected Gary because he is clearly a tough-as-nails litigator who will fight for his clients with passion and I knew I needed someone who could effectively do that for me. At the same time, Gary is ultimately seeking fairness and a final agreement that allows his clients to have a decent relationship with their ex so that that they can co-parent for years to come. That approach makes a difference because, because you don’t want to destroy the chances of being able to co-parent. By seeking fairness, Gary allowed me to walk away from the process with an amicable relationship with my ex.
Gary and his assistant, Helene, are incredibly busy but responded when I needed quick answers. When I reached out with more urgent matters, I got help within minutes. One has to remember that Gary and Helene are handling many, many other cases, and when they are working with a client, that client gets their 100% full attention. I have witnessed other attorneys who spend meetings texting and emailing about other cases and that is simply not how Gary operates. Also, they weren’t out to nickel and dime me; they did things that were important and checked what I sent them but they would suggest that I do a lot of the financial work myself to save time and money. They called with questions about the paperwork I sent to make sure I hadn’t made any mistakes or forgotten important details. Also of importance, is that Gary is very well known in eastern Massachusetts courts, especially Norfolk County, and he is well respected by judges, clerks, attorneys and mediators alike.
Divorce is not fun and it’s likely not easy for anyone. It’s important to find someone who can guide you through the process and prepare you to start the next chapter of your life. Gary made a tough situation better by caring about me and my child and how each element of the agreement could be the best outcome for us.

A true professional, knowledgeable, courteous and very patient. Karen guided me through the divorce process in clear and concise language, taking the time to explain any legal processes and terms that I did not understand (and there were many) and made an otherwise stressful situation very smooth. As a newcomer to the legal system, she guided me from beginning to end. Her mediation expertise and sound advice assured me I had made the right choice hiring her.

Although the process of selling and buying a home is complex and often frustrating I was extremely fortunate to have worked with Matt for both of these events. Throughout the process he communicated clearly and was very thorough. During negotiations of the Purchase and Sale for our new home he was able to explain things in a maner which were easy to understand. Matt also made good suggestions about what we needed to get clarification on from the seller. For example, the seller had a clause in there that he could sell the home prior to us buying it. This turned out to be for tax purposes and ended up being acceptable to us, but there were about a half dozen red flags which Matt brought to our attention. When the bank had issues during our closing, Matt was able to get everything in order so that we could still close. Whenever we had questions, he was responsive and above all I found him to be very trustworthy. Thanks Matt!

We used Matt when we decided to sell our house. It was our first time, and we were working on a tight deadline as we had already purchased our new home. Matt came highly recommended. We ran into some potential property line issues and some title search issues amd Matt worked quickly to resolve them in plenty of time before our set closing deadline. We would highly recommend him, and would use him again for any real estate stuff in the future.

I worked with David over a few years on a custody case. I feel he was very thorough and kept my best interest and the overall best interest of my family in mind. He was very helpful through the whole process and kept me informed of what was going to happen and what to expect.

Mr. Mahoney was an excellent attorney. When he says "we protect those you love and safeguard your assets." He truly means that. We wanted a will that would protect our children in the future. He knew what he was doing, and really come through for our family in our time of need. If you want an Attorney to come through for you, and really get the job done correctly he is right for you. Not to mention he calls me on my birthday. That is excellent service!

She dragged out the divorce through repeated meetings reviewing the same old information. Worse, she kept claiming she was going handle subpoenas for discovery but ended up doing NONE. Even the judge at the final day in court chastised her. If you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars and get destroyed, go for it. Otherwise, run and find anyone else.

Over the past decade Kevin has assisted me with a number of legal matters in multiple jurisdictions. I have seen him in action and have been able to compare him to other lawyers. He deserves the highest rating possible. I value his counsel and he is my first call for all things legal. In every engagement Kevin has acted in a professional manner and he has always worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Kevin communicates well and he is always prompt in returning calls and emails. When faced with an emergency he is the guy to call as he will drop everything for a client who is truly in need. He is also reachable at any time and you will find that his email signature line includes his email address, direct dial number, and his personal cell number so if you have to reach him at night or on the weekends you can
