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.

Amazing

David Gatch is an amazing divorce attorney! He has actually done 2 divorces for me and 1 for my husband. I have known David for around 25 years now. He is both professional, as well as, a wonderfully down to earth person. He doesn't make you feel like just another case, remakes you feel like he is al...ways on your side, because he is always on your side! I would hire him for any and all future issues I may have.
