Craig Alan Gottschalk

Awful. Spent over 10,000 with this guy to get to court with a slam dunk case of parental alienation. First off, he rarely got my name correct. Almost every time I met with him he called me the wrong name. This guy never prepared me to take the stand when I arrived for court. Started asking me ra...ndom dates without any notes in front of me. After Day 1 he was so scared to move on to Day 2 of the the trial that he was wanting me to take whatever my exes attorney proposed. My wife and I would absolutely not accept the ridiculous terms he wanted us to agree to. He then had the audacity to tell us he understands how we feel because he doesn’t get to see his kids either. If you can’t win visitation with your own children, why are you fighting for mine? We finally told him we’re moving on to finish the trial. At that point her attorney finally started to cave in knowing WE were serious about getting up on stand and finishing. Our determination got a resolution, not Craig. As a matter of fact, when I got back into the court room the judge ended up scolding my ex and requesting a break for my ex to confer with her attorney because the judge was so unhappy that she admittedly was trying to keep my children from me and preferred they be with a babysitter. This guy might be a great person, but he’s a terrible attorney who is disconnected from his work.
