Gary is an excellent attorney. I had a very complicated case but I knew I was in good hands from the first interview with Gary. He drafted a very clear and detailed plan of action and stuck with it. He conducted an amazing discovery process and by the end there was no stone unturned. There was so much fraud and lies that any attorney would have required a forensic accountant. However, Gary was very mindful of my limited resources and we untangled the mess without expert advice. He simply attacked my ex from all the angles and produced proof that both my ex and his high powered attorney made grossly false statements in court. Additionally, both Gary and Helene are very compassionate. I cannot stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable with your counsel during this extremely difficult and stressful time. Although he is very busy, he always got back to me even if he was on vacation. Amazing job!

I hired Gary formally as my divorce lawyer after a failed attempt without him at mediation. He has been extremely helpful in all aspects of this process. Everything from informing me of the law (even when I didn't like what I heard), keeping the opposition lawyer in-step with all disclosures, and drafting a professional and detailed settlement agreement to finally finish this process. Gary has been an advocate, level headed, highly professional, and incomparable in working within the law to achieve the best possible outcome. Gary and his staff (particularly Helene) have my highest possible recommendation for anyone going through this process. I also want to commend Gary for not killing me with costs and providing me a bill that was fair and reasonable, and in the end less expensive than my mediation process was. Thanks Gary!

To all those that need a great lawyer, please contact Gary Avratin. When you hire Gary, he is committed to get the job done without leaving you wishing you had looked further to get you through those tough issues that surround getting a divorce. Gary and his paralegal, Helene, are a fantastic team. Two for the price of one. I had may problems surrounding my divorce and Gary took the reigns and got me the results I needed. If you need a lawyer that knows how the system works, Gary is your man.

I hired Gary to handle my non contested divorce in 2017. He is thorough, reasonable and has a true sense of fairness. His focus is taking care of children and not getting bogged down with drama. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone in need of a fair divorce.

Attorney Gary Avratin and his paralegal Helene - let’s call them, Team Gary- worked effortless on my unique situation; and the displayed of perseverance in seeking favorable resolutions prior to my case going to trial. I am grateful for their time and attention they have spent on my case and the impeccable due diligence devoted a month prior to trial. My expectations from Team Gary are the trial preparation which they had already filed all the exhibits for consideration into evidence and to know the facts of my case. Team Gary's efforts did not go unnoticed by me. Again, greatly appreciated.

The divorce process can be painful both emotionally and financially.
If you want an attorney who listens well, is compassionate and will have your back when you need protection, Gary is your guy.
My case was exceptionally complex. When we arrived in court the opposing attorney commented on how much work Gary did on my agreement. Even the judge expressed how unusual it was to reach agreement without a trial.
If he is ever delayed in responding to non urgent matters, be patient; he is worth the wait!

Gary and his team are consummate professionals. They know the Suffolk Court system well and were great guides in taking me through an unfortunate time.
Gary is direct, creative and understands the law and what it means to come up with a fair compromise.

Gary Avratin is an absolutely amazing attorney. With over 20 years of experience in family law, and family members in the same field he truly knows his business. From the moment I met Gary he was upfront and honest with everything. He educated me about the process so that I knew what to expect in court and therefore I was able to assist Gary in the preparation.
Communication with Gary is easy whether it’s by phone or through email, he always makes it a priority to call or email back as soon as its physically possible for him. I even spoke with him on the weekends at times. If I couldn't get in touch with him, his paralegal Helene is always by the phone ready to help in any way she could. Truly an amazing team!
Unfortunately, my legal matter required a trial. Gary prepared me for the trial and together we prepared the evidence that was presented to the Judge. I knew when I walked into the court room that I was prepared and that my lawyer had what he needed to help me. Gary conducted himself with such professionalism. He clearly knows the rules of evidence and how to conduct a trial. The Judge found in my favor after reviewing multiple exhibits and hearing from several witnesses.
I highly recommend Gary and Helene in The Avratin Law Office.

I hired Gary Avratin last year to represent me in my divorce, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Gary turned my life around when I was going through a period of financial and emotional stress. His knowledge of the law is invaluable. I could not have come through such a difficult time without the help and dedication of his entire law office. He is an exceptional attorney, and I highly recommend him to anyone going who is going through a divorce.
