Contested Divorce - CHOOSE DAVID GATCH!!

Mr. Gatch was absolutely amazing handling my case. He kept in touch with me throughout the entire process, he genuinely cared when things were going rough for me dealing with my now-ex. And today, 6/20/2019, we settled our case. I received primary custody of my 3 year old son, and the agreement we ca...me to was exactly what I had asked for. I would only ever recommend Mr. Gatch to anyone and everyone above any other lawyers!!

Contested Divorce With Children

When I began to look for a lawyer to represent me in a contested divorce from my wife of 18 years, I had three children under the age of 15. I knew that this was going to be a hard process, and I wanted to find a lawyer that I could trust who would stay in touch with me. I began reading reviews on ...attorneys in my area and noticed that Mr. Gatch had many times the number of reviews that other attorneys had online. I called him. He returned my telephone call within one hour of my making the first call. He answered my questions. I wanted to know what to expect, what I would have to pay him, and how long this process would take. Mr. Gatch answered each question up front. More importantly, his answers proved to be true. I was told that really "no-one is happy with a contested divorce." I was told up front that the process could take a year, depending on how busy the court schedules were. I made the decision to take a chance on Mr. Gatch. He promised to stay in touch with me by text, phone, and email. He kept those promises. He helped me prepare for the worst. My case took almost 9 months from beginning to end. When it came to trial, he prepared me for every possible question that I would be asked. He took calls from me every time he could, and when he was in court or busy with another client, he called me back quickly. He let me text him, and he responded quickly to those as well. When we went to trial, he carefully prepared me, he questioned my witnesses, he cross examined my wife's witnesses, and he submitted all my evidence . He did not miss a beat. This man is trustworthy. My divorce is done. I am satisfied with his performance, and I would hire him again. My divorce was hard, and he helped me.
