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

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.

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.

Divorce Attorney with a heart.

Gordon, Thank you so much for the amazing work you did representing me through the most difficult time in my life. You will never know how much all you did meant to me. As trying as it was at times you handled it professionally and with integrity. I honestly do not believe I would have achieved the s...ame outcome without you. I felt you had a true desire for what was in the best interest of my daughter and myself. What stands out most to me is how professional you always were, yet, I knew this was not just a job for you because you really cared about what was right. You were always patience with me and listened to all my concerns along the way. I never felt dismissed or that you were too busy for me. You and Misti always answered my calls, texts or returned them as soon as you could. This was a very emotional and trying time for me. Thanks to you I received primary custody of my daughter and kept my sanity along the way. I hope you know how truly grateful I am to you. NB

highly skilled at his craft! strongly reccomend

Gordon and his paralegal are absolutely the most helpful team. They helped my Fiancé and I get through a particularly trying legal battle. We had no clue what our rights as parents are until they walked us through everything! Gordon saved us from getting essentially robbed by the opposing counsel (wh...at we were headed towards before Gordon began representing us). Divorce and child custody is a painful and extremely difficult process to navigate.. even in the best of situations, emotions are raw and running high but you need a strong advocate who knows what they're doing. They took our financial concerns into consideration and helped us fight and win the outcome that best suited the child involved and helped us achieve the outcome we were hoping for. I strongly recommend Lotzkar Law Firm to anyone finding themselves in need of legal assistance
