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.

Caring and smart

I have worked with Gordon multiple times. He knows his stuff and genuinely cares. He successfully won a contempt case against my ex and provided me with excellent parenting plan guidance as needed. He has a fantastic support team and I really like the new hourly payment plan that doesn't require a re...tainer fee.

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!

Outstanding

Gordon helped me out three years ago with a separation and was the most quick, efficient and available lawyer I have ever dealt with. He always communicated well and always made himself available. Three years later I had a few simple follow up questions. He responded immediately and provided me... with clothe answers I needed. He treated me at all times like I was his most important client Gordon was also successful in helping me achieve what I wanted to during a difficult time. I highly recommend Gordon and I will refer him to others at the first chance
