Probate

I live out of state so it was necessary to everything for my mother's estate from half way across the country. Mr. Gatch took care of all the details of a fight with another family member for me and I only had to fly back once. It was a successful case and I was pleased with the outcome. He is timely... in his responses at all times and his price was more than fair.

Excellent Attorney

Used David O Gatch to settle estate through Probate. He was extremely efficient and kept us informed by text messages, emails, and phone calls. Would highly recommend Attorney Gatch.

Great attorney and southern gentleman!!

My daddy passed away in June 2022, he had no will , we knew what his wishes were ,but had no idea how to handle them. My mom is 81 yrs old. I started calling attorneys, and realized right away it was going to be expensive and confusing! There were fees for things that we had never heard of ! I actual...ly found Mr. Gatch on Google , decided to take a chance and called him. From the first phone call I was impressed with him. Not only was he local ,but his prices were affordable. I talked to him that first time and told him everything, made a plan to get together the next week. Something came up and it was like a month went by before I called him back. He remembered me and our conversation and all the prices he had quoted me. To make a long story short, he is an amazing attorney, he took the best care of my family. He gave my mom the assurance that everything was going to be okay and in a very timely matter he did everything he said he was going to do. He was very quick to call us or return a text if we had question or concerns. We had no idea what to do, but he took care of us. Mr. Gatch is a wonderful attorney, he is genuinely a nice person. I know we ask the same questions a million times and he never one time made us feel stupid , he would just answer our questions and assure us he was taking care of it! If you are looking for a Good, HONEST, trustworthy attorney he is your man! Thank you Mr. Gatch for making a very stressful time easier to go through. I hope I never need another attorney, but if I do he will be the first I call!

David O. Gatch is an EXCELLENT Lawye!

Attorney David Gatch was hired to handle the transfer of ownership of the estate of my dear mother after her death. We worked together for approximately one year to satisfy all the required milestones of probate court. Mr. Gatch was professional, knowledgeable and supportive while offering excellent ...communication throughout the legal process which concluded successfully.

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....
