Amazing attorney

I used David seven years ago. Not only did he make a scary unpleasant situation easy to navigate, but he has also maintained an open line of communication over the years. He truly cares and is there to answer questions and help even seven years after the fact. He is a true salt of the earth kind of g...uy. I highly recommend

Best Decision Hands down

Our situation was complex. Mr. David showed us nothing but respect and helped us far beyond what we even imagined. Bankruptcy is one of the scariest things a person can go through and to have a lawyer like him is nothing short of a Godsend! He fought for us and protected us and was even an amazing co...mfort through this dark time.

Why FIVE stars

I am 65 years old and this is my seventh child custody case. This case was a bit different in that I was seeking to gain custody of a child that is not mine and take him to another state which is my residence. David gave me a flat fee (Half of what I paid another attorney in another county for the ...same type case) that was very reasonable. During the case (In court five times) David made recommendation that I grudgingly agreed with. The last five minutes of court I felt we had lost based on the Judges questions. Mr Gatch had accomplished presenting our case with nothing left out. To move a child out-of-state is huge. almost five days later we got the news, WE WON! Mr. Gatch was more excited that me with the news. There were over thirty emails and I cant count the text messages and phone calls. The most approachable attorney I have ever hired. I strongly recommend Mr. Gatch for any legal needs. Great communication, affordable price and extremely knowledgeable.
