As a younger parent trying to navigate the world of family court alone, I was very nervous and scared, consults with several lawyers never left me feeling heard or reassured about where bringing out issues to court would take me, until I hired Mike. He absolutely went above and beyond for my case. He’s very transparent and gave me the tools I needed to make informed choices regarding our case. Not only was he thorough and brought up potential issues to address that I hadn’t even thought of, but he made sure that I understood the law myself. Any questions I had he would not only answer but provide resources and references for me to look at to get a full understanding. Mike has been very responsive throughout the entire process. I’ve heard of firms that will take your money and do the bare minimum, but Mike truly makes you feel like you’re his only client and a top priority. His office staff was also very responsive and helpful when he was unavailable. After hiring Mike I felt empowered and confident in where the case was heading. From start to finish it’s only been a few months and so much more stress free than if I tried to go into this alone. I highly recommend him to anyone, and if need be he would be the only lawyer I would consider hiring in the future. I am so much more appreciative of Mike and his staff than they will ever know.
I hired Mr. Gauthier after consulting with multiple lawyers. My consultation was informative and gave me both a best case scenario and a realistic scenario should the case drag on due to custody and my husband's lack of agreement. In the end I'm so happy I picked him because he successfully got me a divorce in 6 months and did so fast and efficiently that I could afford it. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a fast and efficient divorce, and wants an empathetic lawyer who cares about your interest and not just getting paid.
I hired Gauthier Family Law to handle my sons custody case. We decided to move out of state which is never easy in the case of a child but Mr. Gauthier was wonderful. He walked me through the process and made me feel at ease. I was happy with the outcome and his team members are also amazing. Maryam and Katherine were always there to answer my questions and make sure I understood what happened at court and what our next steps were.
I am extremely satisfied with Michael Gauthier. He was very knowledgeable. I truly appreciated how straightforward and honest he was about how things would go or could go. His staff knew my name when I called. They would have my file pulled up and were familiar with my case. They were able to help direct me with any questions I had. I highly recommended Michael Gauthier.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gauthier Family Law. They are all extremely professional and super helpful with any questions you have. When I reached out for my consultation initially he was extremely helpful, he explained everything to me as much as a I needed it, given the fact that I’m not a lawyer, all the lawyer talk makes about no sense to me so he was super helpful with all of that. I had so much stress taken off of me after this point. My case was over quickly and easily. I would 100% recommend anybody I know to Gauthier Family Law.
Mike was able to get me through a divorce in three months and I was told by others it would be a longer process! Mike is very professional and updated me throughout this entire process! I NEVER felt like a bother to Mike and was able to be very opened with any questions or problems (from my ex husband) that I was having! Mike took care of everything right away when I brought it to his attention! Thank you Mike and your team at Gauthier family law! THEY ARE YOUR TEAM if you need anything!
