I had a phenomenal experience with Gauthier family law. Mr. Gauthier handled my revision of a joint parenting agreement. Mr. Gauthier and his team were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. Anytime I had a question or concern, I was answered almost immediately. He was very knowledgeable and gave me several options on how to handle my case. I was updated on the progress of my case routinely, and provided all documents after every hearing. I was represented by a different attorney on my original case and this was completely night and day. My original attorney dragged out my case, over YEARS, and ran up unbelievable bills. At no time did I feel like Mr. Gauthier was just trying to get money or run up my bill. He handled my case quickly and effectively. He won my case!

I highly recommend Mike, after one failed attorney i made the decision to spend the money to hire him. He takes time to get to know his clients and any underlying issues. Best decision i have made. He helped me every step of the way to do what was best for my son in our case. He did his best to give me advice along the way, he was always a phone call away when i needed help or an answer as quick as possible ( during business hours of course). Mike and Katherine are a great team, and get everything done in a timely manner, and always kept me updated! I will never be able to thank him enough for all his work!!

Michael was a great attorney. He kept me informed through my divorce. I was given copies of all court activities. Michael was professional and personable. He came to court on time and well presented. His office staff promptly answered emails and questions. My divorce was completed quickly. I felt well represented with Michael.

I can't say enough good things about Mike and his firm. He truly goes to bat for you, understands your position, and gives you realistic options about what to expect. Excellent attorney - small town attitude and friendliness with a big impact.You won't be sorry hiring him.

I would recommend Gauthier Family Law to ANYONE that was looking for help with divorce/custody situations. I was nervous and scared last year after having interviewed several attorneys to represent me in a custody matter that had become a crisis for my kids. I was afraid all family law attorneys were robots. When I first met Mike he put me at ease right away, and helped me to feel confident that we had a plan and could move forward. The length of the case was frustrating, and in no way his fault. However the communication through out the process was exemplary. Anytime I had a question (there were a lot of them!) it was answered quickly and professionally. Mike's compassion is what sets him apart. He can be tough as nails when needed, but also listens to you, and truly cares about his clients. Because of his efforts my kids and I are in a much better place and I can once again focus on their well being. Thank you Mike! It was as much of a pleasure as it could be given the situation!

I have been dealing with a family case for over 5 years and was not getting anywhere with my previous attorney, which I had withdraw. Mike stepped up on my behalf, in one court date, he had the main issue thrown out. Like I said, IN ONE COURT DATE. I wish I had known him when my case first started. Gauthier Family Law is professional, well-qualified, and impressive. Mike is number one on my recommendation list, that's for sure. He was compassionate about my circumstance and made me feel like he was looking out for the best interest of me, and my children.

Michael was professional and took the time to listen and gather facts to decide the best way to handle my situation. He was good about returning an email within a day or less for questions I had from time to time. I would highly recommend him to help anyone in a difficult situation.

Thank You So Much Michael!! You Rock!!

Look NO further!!! Hiring Mike during one of the toughest and challenging times in my life was truly the best decision I could have ever made. My case took well over a year to settle and Mike Gauthier (Gauthier Family Law) was extremely helpful and always exceeding my expectations. There was never a moment that he wasn't there to help or answer any questions I had throughout the court process. Mike always responded quickly and resolved any issues I was having. I always felt comfortable that my case was being handled professionally and in the quickest way possible. I wouldn't think twice about referring Mike to friends and family, because I know they would be in good hands. Thank you so much Mike, you've helped more than you know!!!

Mike is great!!! I just went through a nasty divorce and he was the best in every situation. He is very knowledgeable of the whole divorce process and always walked me through each process/procedure to make sure I understood and was comfortable. He also made sure that my best interest was always first and foremost. I would recommend Mike and Gauthier Family Law to any one that is need of a divorce attorney.

My ex-wife and I retained Mike as our attorney to handle our divorce. Our goal was to have as much of a amiable divorce as possible. Mike was great to work with as he helped us work towards a fair and equitable agreement. At the time of our actual court date, the Judge commended us/Mike on our agreement and how we went about our divorce. I highly recommend Mike and his services.

Michael Gauthier is like karma making up for the bad things that happen to you in life. I found him on trusty old Google, but after having already gone through a nightmare of a circus 3 years earlier with another attorney who didn't take anything I said seriously. Once bitten, twice shy, I was terrified of picking another attorney who wouldn't listen to my input. Enter Michael Gauthier. Not only did he remember me from a consultation nearly a year prior, he sat, again, and listened, actively and intently, not only to the issue I was presenting, but to my experience with and my description of my ex, who was causing a new ruckus in my and my children's lives. He took my knowledge of my ex's character and personality and did something I've never seen any of the 4 previous attorneys I've worked with do: Build a case and a plan of action.Communications are excellent, assuming they are necessary. I didn't always get responses to my emails, which, at times, brought out sheer panic in me, because I don't like not knowing *exactly* what's going on at all times. That being said, however, I did have his phone number, and if I absolutely needed to reach him, I could call or text him on it and I know he would answer (because he did). Therefore, not receiving an email response was less upsetting because I KNEW that if it was THAT important, I had his ear (eye).I wish I had found him 4 years ago. I was so proud to stand next to him in court, as he presented such a confident case that was delivered so respectfully, yet so aggressively that there was no question to his accuracy. He cited the law as if he'd authored it, and put forth an argument that was so assured, it was nearly impossible to argue against. Needless to say, for the first time in 3 years, my ex finally did not get what he wanted just because he wanted it. Mike challenged him in a way that no one ever has, and the result was a ruling that benefit my children, instead of him. Every single parent should have Mike on a retainer. You never know when you'll need an attorney, and the fact is there really isn't anyone out there who can do it better than he will. It will be the best decision you've ever made, and it's worth his weight in gold!

Constant delays, mishandled information. Simple case, no disputes between me and my wife, taken months to resolve.I believe most reviews for him are faked. Avoid Him.

I've used Mike in the past the present and if need be I would retain him in the future. Hopefully it doesn't come to that!!

Unethical and lazy. Advised me to accept a new job out of town and we'd get relocation hearing done in 90 days. Not close to true. Since I had to move, my ex got custody of my daughter, and my time with her is limited like a criminal . Never returned a call or prepped me for my depositon. Beware.
