Reviews

Mr. Welch is my hero. He was very dedicated to my case. He went above and beyond for me and my family. He was informative throughout the process. And he was very honest and transparent about the potential outcome.

Absolutely the worst, laziest attorney I've ever seen. If he tried to do what he's paid to do even half as hard as he tries to hum haul around he would have made a positive name for himself. He has 0 fortitude when it comes to defending and fighting for a client, much like an old dog he just rolls over and takes a nap. He will not even attempt to to question a spouse on false accusations, won't ask for proof, nothing. Even if they contradict themselves I'm the next breath, its like he can't even hear them. To retain Gordon is to pay for the shovel to dig the hole he will toss you in. The only thing he's goid at is that and cashing his check.

Mr. Welch was kind and professional during our many interactions. I have used several attorneys over the years and I am so glad I found Mr. Welch. He is the only attorney I have hired with that truly cared about my family and the outcome of my case.

I wanted to write a review shortly after my divorce was complete but chose to “let sleeping dogs lie” and just get past the entire ordeal. Now here I am…2 years later and after the most recent event and interaction, I won’t stay quiet and am going to share my latest experience. My story is far too lengthy and there are many instances I can describe but I would prefer to address the most recent “insult to injury”. Therefore, take from it what you will. Mr. Welch made countless bad decisions which impacted the financial outcome of my divorce with the final blow being experienced now (2 years later). He did not do his “due diligence” in addressing and ensuring benefits as a former spouse of a DOD employee which unfortunately, I am just now discovering. Evidently (and according to OPM), there is a handbook guide available for EVERY attorney dealing with the issues of government employees divorces. I can only surmise he CHOSE not to read it or elected to dismiss it. Either way, it’s neglectful or incompetent or both. It is infuriating to know we pay for someone’s “expertise” only to discover their poor and inadequate decisions impacts the client long after the divorce is finalized. Well done, Gordon…well done. I would never recommend this man. EVER.

Gordon provides professional, honest, and expedient legal council. He is very thorough, organized, and a good communicator. It is due to this that I highly recommend Gordon Welch.

Very nice reception area and extremely lovely people working there.

First off let me say I didn't hire Attorney Welch for reasons discussed later but felt so compelled to review based solely off of a consultation. I contacted him with a child custody matter that had a few complications. He was extraordinarily empathetic and thoughtful far beyond the few other attorneys I had spoken with the same day. I would have hired him in a second just based off his answers alone. But why I didn't speaks wonders to his ethics and honesty. The case would have been handled in a neighboring county but one in which he doesn't regularly practice in. But rather than talk himself up and take my money he informed me that he did not practice regularly in that county and that he probably wouldn't be best suited to take the case because he doesn't know the particulars of each judge like an attorney who practiced in that county would. This alone proves that he values adequate representation over money. I was already impressed before that based off his overall demeanor and responses. He could have easily said "yeah I can do that" and taken my money and I probably would have never known. However he didn't. What's more, even after realizing that he probably wasn't getting my money, he went as far as to refer me over to another attorney who did regularly practice there but only after some thought as to who would best handle the case. He said he would get back to me the next day which shows he put thought into it, without pay, rather than just refer to some random attorney to get me off his chest. And he followed up the next day as promised. All of this goes to show what type of attorney he is. When choosing an attorney you are often going in blind. You don't always know who to go with and who to trust. However if I ever had a matter where he practices I would know I could trust him. He got nothing out of this exchange but still did the right thing anyway even considering I would have never known had he chosen a less ethical route. I enthusiastically and unequivocally recommend Gordon Welch to anyone. I don't often write reviews unless there's an extraordinary bad experience but he earned this good review hands down.
