ERIC GORDON IS THE BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY!

By their very nature family disputes are disruptive and emotionally taxing. Eric Gordon has created a professional relationship built on trust and confidence as well as effectively and economically representing me in the resolution of custody and support issues. Mr. Gordon is extremely mindful of... the long-term effects of marital dissolution and how the children and myself are affected. He has constructively advised me on countless preventive actions as well as applying a holistic approach to counseling me throughout this taxing process. Mr. Gordon has worked closely with my accountant and financial advisor. He has provided a depth of knowledge in all ancillary issues arising from the dissolution of my marriage, including the complicated division of income properties as well as navigating complex tax and estate planning consequences. We are going on a year and a half together through this process and it's not over yet. I am extremely grateful to have Eric Gordon on my team.

Endorsement:

I am a lawyer, duly licensed to practice in all of the Courts in the State of California. I hired Eric S. Gordon in 1998 to represent me in my divorce action. Eric, from the very begining, acted with honest compassion and took great steps to keep his billing at a very reasonable level. Eric Gordon... laid the groundwork for turning our divorce into a very civilized process and inspired the framework for years of successful co-parenting. His superior legal work and diplomatic skills earned him the praises of my former wife, a great tribute to Eric's personality and approach to a potentially very contentious area of the law. Both my former wife and I have recommended Eric to friends and family throughout the years following our divorce and I have no reservations whatsoever in continuing to do so...

Excellent LA Attorney

Eric handled my rather nasty divorce in 2006/2007. My ex proved to be unresponsive and evasive, taking every opportunity to make the process as difficult, lenghty and painful as possible. Eric handled all of the necessary correspondence between us. This allowed me to maintain some semblance of sanity... in my life during a very difficult time. I always felt he was working in my best interest, which has not always been the case with other attorneys I have worked with. I trusted his judgement and recomendations completely and his insight proved invaluable on several occasions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Eric and his firm.
