Professional, Caring and knowledgeable

David helped me with my bankruptcy. He is very kind, professional and cares more about you and how you are dealing with it more than anything else. He was very knowledgeable and on top of everything right from the start. He made the process much less stressful than I expected and that helped a lot. I... would definitely recommend David for any need you have for an attorney!!

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....
