Divorce and custody

Mr Gatch has been a savior for me and my son. He has worked quickly, professionally and stayed in contact with me the entire time. I highly recommend Mr Gatch for any of your legal issues.

Divorce

From the date of filing to the date the judge signed one month and two days. Now that’s a fast divorce. I’m glad I was referred to him. David is a gem

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

Probating My Mother's Estate Without A Will

I want to thank Mr. Gatch for his handling of my mother's estate. She died without a will. I have two sisters. None of us could agree on anything when it came to dividing my mother's estate. Mr. Gatch filed for my papers to handle my mother's estate just before Covid hit....The Courts shut down ...all hearings for months....We attempted to reach an agreement. We could not. Finally Mr. Gatch suggested that we set a hearing and obtain a surveyor to help us divide the land. The Judge suggested a Surveyor and he did a great job....Finally we were able to reach an agreement to divide the bank accounts and personal effects....It took more than a year and a half, but we were able to end the court case and settle. Mr. Gatch did all he could do to speed the process, but the court was slowed down because of covid....Well done Mr. Gatch! I would hire him again. In fact, I plan to discuss bankruptcy with him soon....
