Reviews
I worked with Audrey Gaynor and her team to settle my recent divorce, and I highly recommend their services. Audrey was an empathic and patient listener and a smart, savvy negotiator. She offered me realistic expectations and treated me like a respected team member throughout the process, even when my emotions may have made me less than easy to work with. Audrey’s staff is professional and responsive. Audrey's work ethic and commitment is second-to-none. Audrey brought in additional highly respected team members (financial planner, estate attorney, accountant) when necessary. I cannot imagine having worked though this difficult process without Audrey by my side.
Audrey is a top notch professional who puts her client and their needs first. Audrey is a great partner and is skilled in the nuances of mediation and collaboration. She works to minimize costs, preserve assets and finalize details both thoroughly and quickly. And when necessary, Audrey is more than capable of going toe to toe with the pit bull litigation attorneys who claim to practice mediation (but do nothing but churn a case to increase their fees). Audrey is candid, honest and her integrity is beyond reproach. Highly recommend.
Audrey and her staff provide excellent service. At each step of the way, they were thoughtful and thoroughly explained their recommendations to me. They were also highly responsive. The best way to describe it is that I knew they had my best interests as the first priority. I would highly recommend Audrey, and know that should I need them again for anything, I would be a priority. It is a comforting feeling to have experts on your side.
Audrey and Gabby did a wonderful job. Divorces are hard, but they were wonderful to talk through it with and patient.
Incredibly helpful and patient through a drawn out and frustrating process. I've already recommended her multiple times based on my own experience.
Audrey was a smart, well prepared, and fierce advocate for me in a challenging divorce proceeding. We did a collaborative approach, which meant that my ex and I were leading the process--one that we'd never been through. Consequently I had to initiate more than I would have liked, but she went to bat for me when the other lawyer went into a more aggressive, litigation-style approach to our negotiation. There were times when I felt that I had to remind the team of this need as well as pertinent details that had been covered previously, but Ms. Gaynor was determined in her objective to protect my best interests and reach a settlement that was reasonable and fair. The divorce was a brutal experience for me. All the way through Audrey was very sensitive and caring in every matter. In the end she exceeded our intended goal. I can't thank her enough.
Audrey was a true professional helping me through a very difficult and unexpected time. She guided and directed me to concentrate on the right issues and fought hard for me. Smart, thorough, tough when needed, and kind. I recommend her often to friends going through divorce.
I have worked with Audrey for years and have always been incredibly impressed with her professionalism as well as her empathy. She listens to your difficulties, goals, and outlines a realistic approach and expectations. She responds quickly either by email or phone. Her staff are equally responsive and supportive. I highly, highly recommend Audrey and her firm.
Audrey helped me out immensely when I needed assistance getting a divorce and child custody in a particularly difficult situation. She has keen attention to detail and thinks creatively in regards to case strategy. I highly recommend her firm for the wonderful work they all do.
Here is all one needs to know. After 5 years of intense litigation that was mostly crazed insanity, my now ex gave Audrey's name to her best friend when she needed a divorce attorney. That says it all. Audrey is super smart, always prepared, and brings a level of class to a world of bad people. Divorce is not easy and can get awful nasty quickly. She always provided the best advice and navigated me through an extremely difficult process with grace.
