Excellent attorney

I have known David Gatch both professionally and socially for over 10 years. I have found him to be a man of integrity, sound judgement, and rare ability. A recent review left for Mr. Gatch on March 21st 2021 is not only simply wrong, but a flaccid rerun of a review left several years ago by the ...same disgruntled client who (then) accepted no responsibility for his criminal conduct, but was sincerely amazed when, based on both the evidence and the findings of the court, he was neither absolved of his conduct nor elevated to sainthood. Since that event, this individual was involved in a subsequent criminal offense. He also spent several months of in a county jail. For reasons known only to him, he now wishes to blame Mr. Gatch all these years later for everything that has gone awry in his own life since that original case. This is both wrong and patently unwarranted. If the services of a sound and competent attorney are required for any legal issue, I would have no reservation whatsoever in recommending David Gatch to advise and/or represent the matter in any court in a satisfactory and professional manner.

Never hire an alcoholic

Never hire a recovering alcoholic to rep you in a DUI case. I did. What a waste.

The legal representation I needed.

Faced with a felony charge, I needed an attorney who met several requirements: I wanted to know that my case would receive sufficient dedication so that I could sleep at night without having my mind occupied with numerous questions and concerns. From our first meeting, David instilled the personal ...connection I needed to put my mind at ease. A long time member of the local community was also a requirement. I wanted my attorney to be acquainted with the procedures and participants that influenced my venue. David has represented the central Alabama region for decades and has a long history of being invested both personally and professionally in the region. Most importantly, I expected to have unimpeded access to my legal representative. David's intuitive use of technology permitted him to instantly alleviate my most nagging concerns and allowed me to confidently remove myself from the process without reservation. Do not proceed in your legal matters without contacting David first.

Andrea

Mr. Gatch represented us in bankruptcy and husbands issues with public intoxication. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable with the proceedings, I highly recommend his law firm.

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!!!
