Custody case

David was very quick to respond to my plead for help in my child custody case. It's is still on-going. Buy he has been by my side every step of the way. He has calmed my nerves on more than one occasion throughput this experience. I couldn't have be blessed with a better attorney.

You must hire David Gatch!

David is a VERY knowledgeable lawyer. He is right with you every step of the way. I am so proud to have met this man and totally would recommend him to assist and “make it happen” for your needs. He is a God fearing and a true American! David is the type of man that almost doesn’t exist anymore. This... is the lawyer that you need. Don’t hesitate and hire him now.

Gatch is a Shyster

I made the biggest mistake in my life hiring Gatch and I paid for it. Gatch doesn't even have an office. I met him at Burger King. I gave him $1500 dollars to represent me in a misdemeanor case with municipal court. He was too lazy to get the discovery file. He just went up to the judge and enter...ed a guilty plea. I've never been so screwed in my life So, if you want to pay $1500 for a Shyster to find you guilty, then Gatch is your man He

BAD ATT.

He was paid up front, that was a big mistake, told me I didn't owe anything else, that was a lie. At first he seemed okay but all he did was,just telling me what he thought I wanted to hear. We had to do a lot of the things he was hired to do, not just one time but several. After he put my case off f...or what I still don't really know. He has no office we had to meet with him in the public, like at fast food places...He failed to defend us in trial, it seemed like I took my self to trial that day. He failed to file our sapennos but nobody showed up..., he never let us know what was really going on before trial, he never prepared us before trial. He told me I had him for the whole day, that was a lie to. In trial he never spoke a word on our behalf, he hands out copies of our evidence, it was ink smeared they couldn't even read what I was trying to present to the judge. He handed me one at first then took it back and gave to my defendant couldn't even see it must less read it. ld think when my main wittness didn't show he should have put it off. I feel like everyone in court that day knowedhe done me wrong. He didn't reject to the first thing basically egnored me in clanton court that day. When he said he rest his case, he jumped up and said I got a trial to go to!!!!.. Remember I supposed to had all day ,after that I had one 2 or3 minute phone, him doing the talking he wouldn't let us ask one??? Until this day nothing, he is a over paid att.I strongly advise anyone who hires this------- don't, but if you do don't and I mean don't pay in full...I traveled over thousand miles one way, made several trips because of him putting off court, never told me anything until I was in clanton alabama. All the secatery work I did he used zero of it in trial, He's acowerd In my book,take somebody's money like that, and want even talk to me on the phone...some kind of Att. I believe he's got a bad drinking problem, that's all he cared to talk about..I don't understand how people like that in times like this how he must feel.. I RECOMMEND JUST ABOUT ANY OTHER ATT.BESIDES HIM ,I DON'T KNOW SEE HOW HE'S GOT REVIEWS LIKE HE DOES, JUST DON'T ADD UPP..TO ME. I've had a lot of att.and he's far the worst, there's some good att in clanton I would recommend...

He does what he says he will do!

We are from another state, and needed and attorney to handle some legal matters in Alabama. David Gatch took care of everything, and kept us INFORMED of each new action or decisions! HIGHLY recommend! We know we can TRUST him to do what is best for our family during this trying time!
