Huge thanks!!

I wholeheartedly endorse Gordon and his team. They guided me through a daunting ordeal after a prolonged period of unemployment, which led to legal action, with remarkable poise and expertise. Despite the challenges posed by my contentious ex-spouse and their aggressive attorney, Gordon and his team ...adeptly balanced assertiveness with ethics and diplomacy. If you're facing complex family law issues that others struggle to handle, I urge you to seek Gordon's counsel. You won't regret it.

Outstanding law firm

I cannot say enough good things about Lotzkar Law Firm. I am extremely thankful I was referred to Gordon as my life (and my daughter’s life!) is forever changed in the best way possible thanks to Gordon and his team. We had a relocation hearing that worked out in our favor, and a huge reason for ...that was the expertise & preparation done by Gordon and his team. Gordon was so well spoken & confident when arguing my case; I can't thank him enough for fighting for me and my family. Gordon and his team have a lot of integrity, which - in my experience with dealing with other law firms - is very hard to find these days. They stayed true to their word, had excellent communication, and I could tell they had a lot of family law experience. Gordon was often thinking about how opposing counsel was going to frame their case and he came up with a game plan for how to counteract their arguments. I hope to never be in a situation again where I need a family law firm, however if I do, I know exactly who to call!

Clear Communications, Available and Knowledgeable

I was referred to Mr. Lotzkar by a friend after my divorce was final. I had questions about changing the parenting plan. He actually answered the call – the staff transferred me to him and he spoke to me about the process and what his suggestion was for moving forward. He spoke to me for at least ...15 minutes and I was never billed. When it came time to do a relocation some years later, he again answered the call, told me about the monthly billing with no retainer, and explained what I can and cannot do. He and his staff answer the phone, emails and follow up when I would miss something. He is a clear communicator who told me the pros and cons for an issue. I never felt he was trying to drag the issue out in order to bill more time. He was on my side, honest, and extremely knowledgeable about family law.

Outstanding Attorney

I was searching for a good attorney for a family law matter and when looking at reviews I chose Lotzkar Law since they had a 5 Star Rating. They absolutely live up to their 5 Stars. The entire team was wonderful from start to finish. One of the many things I appreciated about the firm was their overa...ll courtesy, response time, respect for my time, and honesty in their billing hours and rates. They were there guiding me the entire time ensuring my best interest were priority. My case turned out better than expected and I highly recommend this firm!

I couldn't have asked for anyone better

I have been using Gordon for my Divorce and Child Custody arrangements for the past 9 years. He wasn't my original divorce lawyer, but I've been extremely happy with everything he has done with my case since I hired Lotzkar Law. When I moved out of state, he reworked my Parenting Plan to help ensur...e I kept a good relationship with my children. In subsequent years, Gordon also carefully explained the laws and calmly kept me from taking actions I would regret. Most recently, when my ex-husband was in Contempt of the Parenting Plan, Gordon was able to get the resolution I wanted without having to go to court. He has been prompt with his responses and listened to all my concerns. He only proposed solutions that he thought were in the best interest of my family. Gordon is level-headed, extremely knowledgable, and has been there for all my random questions whenever I needed. I couldn't have asked for a more capable and compassionate lawyer to handle my case and would recommend him and his team without hesitation.
