Outstanding service !

As a repeat customer, Mr. Gatch has provided me the best possible representation in Criminal Defense. His highly personable demeanor allows him to interact with clients in a non-judgmental manner. Mr. Gatch is the attorney you want standing beside you when in front of a judge.

David gatch

I’m so glad that I reached out and got such a great person that has been by my side so far through all my bad decisions he got me my bond reinstated so that I could bond out and go home and he hasn’t let me down he has gotten charges dropped he has always been completely straight forward with me abou...t anything I couldn’t be any happier with who I have as my lawyer! He is super supportive and understanding and has really been a life saver to me and he is positive with his thoughts

Gatch is a Shyster

I made the biggest mistake in my life hiring Gatch and I paid for it. Gatch doesn't even have an office. I met him at Burger King. I gave him $1500 dollars to represent me in a misdemeanor case with municipal court. He was too lazy to get the discovery file. He just went up to the judge and enter...ed a guilty plea. I've never been so screwed in my life So, if you want to pay $1500 for a Shyster to find you guilty, then Gatch is your man He

Would use David again if needed

My wife and I are truck drivers and from out of state. We stopped for the night in Clanton AL and decided to have a few drinks. Well, didn't go so well as we ended up w a few citations that required us to show up personally in court. Not knowing any attorneys in that area, I called the courthouse and... asked for recommendations. They gave me David's name. Not knowing anything about Clanton nor David I called him. He truly was a blessing to wife and I. He seemed more interested in us and helping us than he did about his fee. Which was more reasonable than I would have ever expected. As I stated earlier, we are truck drivers. Our schedule doesn't lend us the opportunity to be where we need to be most of the time. David was able to work w the judge and the court to benefit our schedule. By the time we got there he already had the situation resolved that we and the court could agree on. What he saved us by working with the court, saved us more than we paid him. Hopefully never have to use his services again, but would be the first I would call if needed, or if wife gets crazy. Lol. Thank you very much David.
