Great lawyer. Saw me through a tough divorce

I availed the services of Lotzkar Law Firm for my divorce. It was a long drawn out case as there was a child involved and my ex-husband was not the easiest person to work with. Gordon and his staff guided me through each step of the way as I went to them when I was in dire need having just got o...ut of an abusive relationship. Gordon kept me sane and knew when it was time to play hardball with my ex and also when it was time to keep me reasonable. He never lost sight of the endgame which was to get me the divorce with the best result that I can get within a reasonable cost. Based on his vast 27 years of experience in family law, he has a thorough understanding of the law, the court system and how the judges/mediators like to rule. He was always available when I needed to ask his advice or when I wanted a clarification. He also spoke multiple times to my ex-spouse’s attorney to speed up the responses and proceedings. His staff were a god send, always being there to answer my nitpicking questions and managed all the documentation. I would definitely recommend the Lotzkar law firm for any divorce issues

Excellent in high conflict divorces

Gordon was very supportive from the start. I was in a very vulnerable position and he taught me a lot about abuse; helped me to open my eyes. He pushed me when I needed to stand up for myself which was very difficult for me, but was always respectful of my choices. He played fair with the opposing c...ounsel and was not disrespectful, as he knew this was important to me, but still fought hard for my rights. His assistant, Misti, is amazing. She is very detail oriented and does not make any mistakes; they work wonderful as a team. The office is always available within a day to respond to your needs. Gordon really puts his heart into his work and truly cares about your situation and helping you.

Highly Recommend Especially in Difficult Cases

I turned to The Lotzkar Law Firm for my divorce proceedings after a bad experience with another. In my first interview with Gordon, I found he had faced contentious cases many times before in his practice. His legal knowledge helped keep me 'sane' in an otherwise crazy-making situation. Throughout ...the process he and his assistants were always available for my (many) questions by email, phone, in person. They were empathetic, knowledgeable and redirected my energy toward tactics that helped me get a great settlement with a very contentious ex. He doesn't ask for a retainer fee and EVERY penny I spent was well earned. He delivers invoices that are completely transparent to inform you which activities and by whom, are billed. During one of my life's most difficult situations, I am truly grateful I selected the Lotzkar Law Firm. I recommend them highly for anyone looking for family legal advice/representation.
