Divorce + Child

Gordon was highly recommended from a lawyer on my company’s corporate legal counsel. His experience in family law allowed him to predict the exact strategy executed by my ex-wife’s legal team. His recommendations mitigated my risk, and likely shortened the length of our dispute. He helped me see ...around corners, always gave me options to consider, and allowed me to make a decision without persuasion. The Lotzkar Law Firm is very economical when you consider no upfront retainer, and Gordon’s position to avoid going to court if at all possible. Gordon was extremely responsive, and the experience was seamless even though there were very few face-to-face meetings because of COVID-19.

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.

Divorce

It is with pleasure that I recommend Gordon Lotzkar and his team to handle your divorce proceedings. Gordon was very prompt with responses, helpful in sorting out the facts, and truthful. I really appreciated those characteristics. This was a very difficult time in my life and Gordon created a safe s...pace for conversation, honesty, and approach. As with many stressful times, having a kind, sense of humor was a real plus! Gordon helped me to approach the divorce by understanding realistic goals and expectations. I am forever grateful for his guidance and support. I do want to give a special shout-out to his paralegal, Misti. She was kind, professional, and prompt to respond. Thank you, all!

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.

Child Visitation

We requested and received a referral to contact attorney Lotzkar from another law firm and were very pleased by the caring interest he and his staff conveyed regarding our case compared to other firms we had consulted with. Immediately Gordon recognized the situation and outlined our course of actio...n. We were impressed by his prior experience in this area of the law and equally impressed by his knowledge of the King County judges and judicial system. We would recommend you consult with the Lotzkar Law Firm on your case. He obtained a complete and convincing judgement on our behalf.
