Highly recommend!

When I hired the Lotzkar Law Firm, I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place. I was a brand new father head over heals with my newborn little girl, and I wanted to ensure that I had the right to raise her and play a significant role in her life.  I felt a child should have equal time with ...both parents, while the mother felt it best that I was limited to two hours, twice a week. I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. Gordon and his staff worked very hard on my behalf. I was never promised a particular result. Instead Gordon was always very honest as to what the possible outcomes were at any given point even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear.  But he never stopped fighting to get what I felt was best for my daughter, and he produced results. In the end, due to his extensive experience in family law along with his dedicated staff, I was able to secure a tremendous amount of time with my daughter in a parenting plan that would transition into 50/50 custody.  My daughter is almost two years old, and she and I have an amazing bond.  I am beyond grateful to be able to look back and see the instrumental role that I’ve been able to play in her life. Thanks to Gordon and his team at Lotzkar Law Firm, I haven’t missed a thing.   I am so thankful for Gordon and the Lotzkar Law team, and I recommend this team without reservation to anyone facing a tough custody challenge.

He fights for what’s right with strategic top tier service!

Quite amazing experience with this team. Gordon is on top of the laws and did everything he could for a speedy process in my very complex case with a child involved with out of state visitation etc. He protected me and fought hard for justice in my custody case with phenomenal results.

Outstanding

Gordon helped me resolve protection-order and crafted parenting-plan to see my child. Throughout this overwhelming process my questions were promptly answered and I was guided with choices when making difficult decisions. I felt at ease that he was always available and his documents produced for cour...t were very professional. Thanks Gordon for your help. I would highly recommend Lotzkar law firm!

Caring and smart

I have worked with Gordon multiple times. He knows his stuff and genuinely cares. He successfully won a contempt case against my ex and provided me with excellent parenting plan guidance as needed. He has a fantastic support team and I really like the new hourly payment plan that doesn't require a re...tainer fee.

Advocate. Intelligent. Thorough.

Hiring Mr. Lotzkar to represent me in my divorce/custody case was the best decision I made in a really challenging season. He took the time to understand my priorities for the case, was thorough, timely in responses, and assertive on my behalf when I was intimidated by the overwhelming process of ge...tting divorced. Additionally, his insight and experience with the courts gave me balanced information to know the different ways something could go and helped reduce my wanting to make "fear-based" decisions. He was generous in sharing knowledge, even if it was difficult to hear sometimes. His is direct and honest. His ability to share information and make it approachable was incredibly helpful so that I felt like it was a conversation and I could understand what the different "jargon" meant. I continue to be grateful for his knowledge and skills, even after my case finalized. I'm still able to reach out and ask for guidance when dealing with post-divorce complications. He's an outstanding legal representative.
