The Truth About Gatch

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!

The Attorney to Call

Attorney David Gatch is amazing! He is always knows exactly what is needed and is attentive to any questions or concerns that I might have. If you were to ever need an Attorney then David Gatch is the one to call.

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.
