Mr. Gatch helped me with my DUI ...

I have had a problem with alcohol and pills. I was arrested in Clanton one year ago, and had to appear in the city court. I was scared. I went online and Mr. Gatch's web page came up first. I just picked up my cell phone and called him. What I noticed first is that he answered his own phone! H...e stopped what he was doing and talked with me. The first thing he told me was that there would never be a charge to talk with him, whether one time or a hundred times. He also mentioned that I could text him and he would respond as soon as possible. Mr. Gatch agreed to meet with me promptly, and did. In fact, he asked me to come down to the Shoney's in Prattville to speak with him over a cup of coffee. I did. Based on that free meeting, where he actually bought the coffee, I agreed to hire Mr. Gatch. He told me that I had three choices, I could plead not guilty and go to trial, I could enter a plea of conditional guilt that would go away if I did what the court referral officer told me to do, or I could simply plead guilty and put the matter behind me. I chose to confront my problem with alcohol and pills. I also took Mr. Gatch's advice and entered into a court referral program with the City Court, and Mr. Gatch's advice proved to be true! The charges were dismissed against me! I would trust Mr. Gatch with any legal problem I have in the future. I am clean and sober today, and have my driver's license !!! I can go anywhere I want at any time. I no longer depend on alcohol and pills to deal with life. I highly recommend Mr. Gatch!!!
