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.

Gordon Lotzkar is a fine attorney

Lotzkar Law Firm helped me through a messy legal issue with a result that was much better than I expected. Gordon gave great advice, even though I didn't always take it - which may have lead to better results, but I was more interested in a timely disposition. He respected that and helped make it hap...pen. Gordon has a talent for conveying the law in ordinary English, rather than legal circular speak. I always received timely responses, filings, and follow ups. I thought the billing was fair and never an issue. I highly recommend Lotzkar Law Firm to anyone needing legal help or advice.

Personalized and professional support!

I can not say enough positive things about the Lotzkar law firm. I was represented by Gordon Lotzkar through a divorce. The office staff was professional and prompt. Gordon was readily available for our appointments; I felt he understood needs specific to me and my circumstances. He was realistic in ...laying out the options, and always took extra time to thoroughly answer my questions, directly in meetings or with a quick phone call or email response. He prepared me for mediation , both on the level of what to expect and emotionally. He was always prompt and I never felt I was over billed nor that he was drawing out the process. I highly endorse the Lotzkar Law Firm

You Want Him On Your Side

Gordon handled our post secondary education case with swiftness and efficiency. Not only does he explain all your options to you but encourages you on what’s best based on the predicted outcome of said action(s). He is respected amongst his colleagues which makes it easier to resolve things in a shor...ter period of time, which ultimately ends up costing you less money. He also handled our case when my ex tried to take me back to court outside the timeframe allowed and it was dismissed before ever stepping foot in a courtroom. Highly recommend if you find yourself in these difficult circumstances as he makes it better!

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.
