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!

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.

Excellent representation

I was very happy with the representation I received from Gordon and his team during multiple family law litigations and mediation. Gordon was tough with a very difficult opposing council and thoughtful and patient when prescribing opinions and talking through possible outcomes. He shoots straight and... fights hard for his clients. Highly, highly, recommend.
