Best lawyer

Mr. Gatch is the most amazing lawyer I have ever met! When I first started the process I was nervous and didn’t know much about bankruptcy. I called him once left a voicemail and within 10 mins he called me back, and we set up a time to meet. Him and Miss Vickie are absolutely precious people. They a...nswered any question I had. If I had a question throughout the process all I had to do was text or call and he was always on the other end of the line. The process was very quick which was such a great thing. He always put me at ease and I felt very prepared for any and everything. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone. He gets the job done and does what he says. If I could describe him it would be a southern gentleman, comes to mind every time I talk to him. I’m so thankful for him, and helping me get passed a bad time in my life and severing the last ties that held me to my ex husband. I can never say thank you enough! But thank you Mr. Gatch for everything you did for me!

Bankruptcy

I used Mr. Gatch for my bankruptcy. He was very professional and talked with me about everything through the entire process. He kept me informed of everything and explained anything that I did not understand.

Recommendation

Mr Gatch was very diligent with all the legal endeavors involving our case. He was honest, steadfast and straight forward in relating case information to me and his presentation in court. Mr. Gatch lives up to his word when he accepts a case. He works hard to collect all information from his clien...t to present in court. He continues to follow up until the case is closed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gatch to represent you.

Mr. Gatch helped me with my DUI ...

I have had a problem with alcohol and pills. I was arrested in Clanton one year ago, and had to appear in the city court. I was scared. I went online and Mr. Gatch's web page came up first. I just picked up my cell phone and called him. What I noticed first is that he answered his own phone! H...e stopped what he was doing and talked with me. The first thing he told me was that there would never be a charge to talk with him, whether one time or a hundred times. He also mentioned that I could text him and he would respond as soon as possible. Mr. Gatch agreed to meet with me promptly, and did. In fact, he asked me to come down to the Shoney's in Prattville to speak with him over a cup of coffee. I did. Based on that free meeting, where he actually bought the coffee, I agreed to hire Mr. Gatch. He told me that I had three choices, I could plead not guilty and go to trial, I could enter a plea of conditional guilt that would go away if I did what the court referral officer told me to do, or I could simply plead guilty and put the matter behind me. I chose to confront my problem with alcohol and pills. I also took Mr. Gatch's advice and entered into a court referral program with the City Court, and Mr. Gatch's advice proved to be true! The charges were dismissed against me! I would trust Mr. Gatch with any legal problem I have in the future. I am clean and sober today, and have my driver's license !!! I can go anywhere I want at any time. I no longer depend on alcohol and pills to deal with life. I highly recommend Mr. Gatch!!!

Mr. Gatch knows what he is doing!

Mr. Gatch is a great lawyer and is so accessible!! He always calls me back when I need him. He went to court with me and I noticed that the Judge and all the attorneys there respect Mr. Gatch....I hired Mr. Gatch for bankruptcy... He did it immediately...I was so stressed out but he was so calming......I will hire him again if I need representation! You can trust this lawyer!
