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.

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.

Great Team Work On My Divorce Case!

Lawyers are like doctors, you'll achieve the best outcome if you trust them. Gordon was referred by a good friend but I did my dual diligence in talking to two other lawyers first. Gordon stood up with his professionalism and years of experience handling divorce cases involving foreign assets. His of...fice location is at the heart of Bellevue which is convenient to me. Divorce is a very emotional and time-consuming process. Gordon showed his empathy throughout the way and earned my trust over time. He and team were very supportive and responsive in all our interactions. He helped me collect the evidences, prepare for cross examinations, and set reasonable expectations. I was able to get a clear understanding of my position and feel good about it before going into trial. On the trial day, Gordon projected a strong presence over Zoom. He articulated the details of my requests, and impressed the court with my tremendous efforts raising three kids and managing the family finance mostly single-handed in my long-term relationship. He was also quick in catching the loopholes in the opposing party’s testimonies and using them to our advantage. As a result, we received favorable ruling from the judge, just as expected. No surprises. That’s what matters at the end. Overall, I’m very happy with the services provided by Gordon Lotzkar Law Firm. We were able to work as a team during this challenging time in my life. I’m very grateful to have their help!

Best team out there

I asked an attorney friend whom she would hire if she were getting divorced and the first person on her list was Gordon. She found him to be both an astute attorney and also a good person. I then asked another friend the same question. The first person was again Gordon. When I was ready to begin ...my journey he was honest, kind and trustworthy. Over the months that followed he proved to be an amazing advocate in a truly convoluted situation. When things got contentious, he was assertive and calm. He and his staff also treated my budget with respect. I feel I was well represented and treated professionally and also humanely which is important in the face of anxiety and uncertainty. I would absolutely recommend Gordon and Misti to anyone.
