About the Firm

Our History

Gatton & Associates, P.C. was founded in 1997 as the Law Office of George “Dave” Giddens, P.C., with a similar focus in the practice areas that we still specialize in today. In 2015, Chris Gatton and Jesse Jacobus became shareholders in the firm, and the name was changed to Giddens, Gatton & Jacobus, P.C. Jesse Jacobus left the firm in 2018, and the name was changed to Giddens & Gatton Law, P.C. Dave Giddens retired June 30, 2024, and the firm became Gatton & Associates, P.C.
