He took on a difficult interstate child custody and child support case for me in 2007. He represented me until my son graduated high school in GA in 2013. He was able to dumb down the legalese for me so that I clearly understood all aspects of what I was asking for and also pointed out potential unintended consequences that I could not see. He speaks with clear intention and doesn't mix words to soften the information that he was about to deliver to me. I am grateful for him and Pat as they were always helpful and above all patient. I had quick, easy and personal access to his office and I almost always felt I was his only client (although that was not the case). I highly recommend Mr. Welch to anyone that needs an experienced fighter in family law. - JDD

Mr. Welch is an amazing lawyer who was a great asset to my case. He's very easy to communicate with. He shares every aspect of the case with his clients and keeps you in the know. He answers any questions that are asked and ensures that you understand before moving on to other topics. I received favorable results with Gordon on my side and I'm more than pleased with how things were settled in mediation in my child custody case. If you are debating on whether or not to hire or even have a consultation with Mr. Welch, go ahead and make the phone call to do it. It will be well worth your time and money in the long run. Thanks for everything, Gordon!

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.

My initial conversation with Gordon Welch put me at ease about having to go through the uncertainties of divorce. I was even more comfortable with the decision to retain him as my attorney upon meeting with him. He was detailed, and very organized during the entirety of my divorce proceedings. Most importantly he listened as I talked, and allowed me to tell my whole story. Gordon Welch is very knowledgeable in family law and I felt very confident going into depositions, mediation, and even the child support hearing that I rehired him for. Gordon fought to the very end to get the best deal possible and he made sure I wasn’t taken advantage of during the mediation negotiation process. I’ve recommended him to friends and family members with no hesitation. Both Gordon and his team “Pat” were always professional and respectful from start to finish. The rates are very reasonable, but I feel the service Mr. Welch provided went far and beyond the money spent. I’m glad I had Gordon Welch on my side.

I was referred to Gordon by a good friend of mine, and upon interviewing with Gordon I knew right away he was the person to represent me. Gordon is FOR his clients, and conducts business in a very straight forward manner. If your just wanting to hear some "feel good" stuff from an attorney who is simply after your money, then don't call Gordon. Gordon will be very honest with you, regarding your case, and represent you at the highest level. Gordon's extensive experience in family law, as well as his work ethic, provided a very positive outcome for my case. As such, I would highly recommend Gordon Welch.

Divorce in my opinion is the hardest experience in this life. Gordon guided me through this with strength, compassion and experience. I really appreciated his straightforward approach. I interviewed other lawyers and they just didnt feel right. He knew what steps to take with my case at a time when I just couldn't see what needed to be done. He crushed the opposing lawyer and got my children and I the appropriate deal. Of course I would recommend him and his teammate and wife. My ex even recommended him!

Gordon is a very well organized and knowledgeable attorney who will advocate for you and ensure you ethically get the best legal outcome both financially and in terms of litigation. He is sharp as a tack and has the memory of a computer. Do what he tells you to do, be transparent, honest, and the rest is in the magic of the relationships and legal knowledge he's built over the past decades of practicing law. Put Gordon on your team before your spouse does.

I hired Gordon Welch for my divorce case and it was the best decision I could of made at such a difficult time in my life! Even from my initial consultation it was clear to me how well versed he was in family law. He showed sympathy, knowledge, and professionalism. I can say without a doubt that Mr. Welch truly cared and fought his hardest to make sure I got the best possible results. And I will share that my divorce case did involve minor children. I also appreciated Mr. Welch's honesty in working my case, he did not over charge nor bill me unnecessary fees. He was very clear on his fees and I quickly realized, he cost less than any family law attorney I had a consultation with in this area. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a tough family law attorney, who goes above and beyond for their clients, to give Gordon Welch a call!

Mr Gordon Welch is a highly knowledgeable divorce lawyer and skilled in details relating to military divorces. Starting with the initial interview before taking my case, he explained what would be required to comply with Florida laws, and after taking my case, he walked me through the time consuming and highly detailed paperwork. He provided me options and recommendations concerning those options relating to how the case would be handled. We discussed specific decisions that I had made and he provided recommendations on how to better approach those decisions before my final proposal on the division of assets. In an effort to keep my cost down, he was able to provide timely feedback and information through emails and phone calls, reducing in-person meetings to final paperwork reviews and briefings prior to the deposition and mediation.
