When you consult and hire an attorney.. tell the truth… if you have a history of drug use and addiction.. disclose it.. before you hire the attorney.. fully disclose your legal history.. criminal and civil.. follow his advice.. obey court orders… Act in good faith.. that is the essence of David Gatch..... Good faith.. He stands as a officer of the court and has an obligation to the court just as he does with his clients.

Gatch is absolutely the worst lawyer ever! He took my money, lied to me and took more money! I was trying to change my custody arrangements. Gatch didn't do anything for me! I emailed him many times for a receipt or even the final order and he blew me off like I was never even his client. I honestly... feel like he stole my money and ran. Don't hire him! If you want to get something done you're better off just representing yourself! Also all these "5 star" reviews Gatch has on Avvo, are staged to make him look good! He made me submit a five star review before he did anything on my case. Once he had my money, he disappeared! In my opinion, he should be disbarred!

Gatch is very disrespectful and unprofessional, the most despicable lawyer I have ever met. Doesnt answer his cell phone, waits till the last minute to prepare your case. Always thinks he knows everything. He will belittle you, talk to you like you don't have a education, and doesn't care if you get ...pissed off at him over the things he says about you. Once he got your money, its over with. So, future clients beware, do not use this lawyer, you have been warned!!!!!! There are better lawyers out there. Do your research!
