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.

I could not have asked for a better attorney and team!

Gordon and Misti are amazing. I have used Gordon twice, once for a child support issue and more recently for a very high stress, high conflict divorce and custody battle that went to court. His team is prompt, professional, knowledgeable and aggressive when they needed to be. There were many motions,... protection orders, hearings, and negotiations involved and Gordon and his team handled everything absolutely flawlessly. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and got everything I wanted in both the divorce portion and the custody portion. I would recommend Gordon and his team to anyone needing representation!

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer

I want start by saying thank you! Gordon and his team make you feel important, they are very informative and honest. You are never left wondering the status of your case or left in the dark on anything. Their time and effort is dedicated to you and your case. There are ups and downs in every case and... with such they let you know if it's worth fighting for those issues as well the realization of whether or not you should pursue those. There is nothing more satisfying then knowing that someone is on your side to bat for you, you feel like family. The needs for you and or your child feel like a priority to them. My case was close to a year long and every step of the way Gordon and his team were there for me, thank you again. If you are looking or in need of lawyer, he is definitely your guy.

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.

Gordon is an Ice Breaker in the Iceberg Infested waters of Family Court

Mr Lotzkar is an astonishing attorney & litigator, he guided me through 7 years of one of the most toxic custody battle known in King County. My custody increased 3 seperate times while simultaneously dodging the evil kitchen sink thrown at me by my ex-girlfriend and endless attorney's she had. Wh...at truly cannot be said enough, is Mr Lotzkar's ability to shine and litigate tough situations in the courtroom. He should be on Live TV with his own show in all honesty... he is intelligent, articulate, charasmatic, sharp, organized and has a very positive mindset. I must also add, that Mr. Lotzkar's legal team and assistants are amazing. They will also yell at you when you are sending them meaningless things and wasting time on the phone (time is money), Mr Lotzkar is very aware of overcharging clients and sets his sight on the end goal along with being aware of your financial situation. He is very honest, very fair, doesn't play dirty, agressive when needed and knows the Family Court Playground better than anyone. With good communication and laid out evidence, Mr Lotzkar will fight and win for you in court. Listen to him and get him what he needs!
