Total waste

Honestly I don't know how well he performs in other areas of practice but when he handled my divorce, it was absolutely a waste of time and money. It was over in minutes without him arguing one single point. I would've been better off keeping my money and just letting my then wife have her way becaus...e that's exactly what happened. It was as if he was afraid of the judge, simply spineless. I pretty much confirmed my identity to the court and bam, it was over. He was so nice to me throughout but when it came time to litigate, the man just rolled over! Documented admissions of her infidelity and her poor parenting were never presented to the court. I left out of there in a daze, feeling like I had been taken advantage of at the most vulnerable time in my life....devastated.

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!

The absolute best lawyer

Can I put 10 stars?! Mr. Gatch has gone above and beyond for us in our bankruptcy case. We have felt so prepared and known what was going to happen before it has occurred everytime. He is always there for his clients; even when their car brakes down on the way to court. What had the makings of a very... stressful day, turned out to be just fine thanks to Mr. Gatch.
