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.

Great choice

I would highly recommend Gordon as a responsive, highly knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. Unfortunately I found myself needing to retain new counsel after I discovered documents and deadlines were being missed in my divorce proceedings. Gordon’s calendar was too full to take on my case with t...he trial date very close. The last 2 years have put a strain on the legal system and the court calendar. I respect his decision to not over commit per his case load. Hiring an excellent attorney like Gordon is the best asset you can have to navigate this process and gain a good outcome. I wish I would have found his office when I first interviewed attorneys. He will be my first recommendation should I be asked in the future.

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.

A genuine, caring, professional lawyer

I was recommended to work with Gordon by another lawyer who was retiring, and I am thankful that Gordon assisted me through a challenging divorce. Gordon and his team handled my case with compassion and integrity. Gordon himself offered suggestions and solutions that made a person such as myself, an...d unfamiliar with the law, at ease and empowered me to make choices that benefited my children. For Gordon and his team, the end goal was to resolve conflict with as little damage as possible to myself and my children and to that end they worked diligently and efficiently. His advice enabled my children to have financial support for college from my ex-spouse that otherwise would not have been given. Gordon is also a great listener and genuinely cares about his clients; if you are placing your trust in someone for such an emotional and financial issue as divorce, I can't think of anyone better.

Best Decision I Ever Made

Choosing Gordon Lotzkar to be my attorney was the best decision I ever made. He is professional and honest. He helped me through a very difficult and emotional time. He truly listened to me and explained every step of the process. He has integrity and lots of experience which he used to get the best ...outcome for my case. He focused on the priorities and didn’t waste any time, money, or effort. He made a very difficult case bearable and cared about the end result for me and my son. Gordon and his paralegal Misti were always available to discuss the case, talk things through, or just calm me down. I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone who needs an awesome attorney.
