The Office of Ava G. Gut friend

"Definitely one of the worst lawyers I ever came across! She lies! She don’t answer any of your calls or emails. Some people just don’t care and she is one of them . I suppose to been had my kids if my lawyer was doing they job. It’s sick and heartbreaking when she called and said my kids was released to me and still nothing happened. I called cps and they said my lawyer knows what to do and she still has not got the ball rolling. It’s ridiculous!"

"Worst lawyer ever. Never keeps in touch, never responds when you call or email until the day before or day OF your court appearance. Didn’t respond to three emails I sent over a course of a month and approximately two weeks. Didn’t respond until 25 minutes before my court appearance which I then MISSED because she told me I wouldn’t have to appear in court again as she’d settle it outside of court, then never did. She couldn’t even make it to that appearance so court must be adjourned for the fourth time. Ridiculously slow and unserious. Would rather receive counsel from a goldfish."

"Mrs. Ava G. Gutfriend is amazing! Ava represented my husband in his custody battle. From our first meeting, Ava explained everything to us in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions outside of our meetings. Ava always managed to make our case a priority. Ava was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved. Ava would 'check in' with us and make sure we knew what was happening at all times. Her legal representation restored our faith in the justice system. If you're seeking legal help as a child custody client, call Ava G. Gutfriend"

"I had a consultation with Ms. Gutfriend. At first I wasn’t happy with having to pay for a consultation. There are lawyers that don’t charge for it and it was a bit of a rough start with her office which made me nervous, but I went away feeling that it was money well spent. She left a good impression on me and seems to be a genuine soul. Ms. Gutfriend advised me that with my issue the best course of action was inaction which some clients might not like to hear…..but it was sound advice. Another lawyer may have pulled me in for more money and a possible bad result. So I appreciated what she had to say and left feeling like I did the right thing by seeking her legal expertise."

"Ava is a great lawyer! She did a wonderful job representing me to get my children back in such a short time. She is very professional over the phone and in person. She is very knowledgeable and confident in her field. She fought very hard in court and I could tell the judge was very familiar with Ava and respected her. I would highly recommend her."
