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.

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

professional/no nonsense approach!

I recently and rather unexpectedly found myself in need of representation and without anything in place, I was looking for strong representation who could take my case on. I've been intrigued ever since the moment Mr. Lotzkar's name came up during conversations as it was followed by "this attorney w...orks off referrals only" comments. I was impressed since the initial contact with Gordon - from his responsiveness, ability to replay back to me what I communicated to his willingness to review all reasonable options before we take next steps. I also truly enjoyed the simplicity of Representation Agreement, making the overall experience feel like a partnership - something that is far from anything else I have experienced during legal proceedings up to this point.

Saved my life

I found Gordon Lotzkar after unsuccessfully working with another lawyer who was better suited to amicable divorces. My former marriage counselor said he was afraid for my safety. Gordon quickly helped me legally separate and secure my house so I could change the locks. My case was challenging, and he... planned everything strategically so I ended up with the best possible parenting plan, which was my priority. I highly recommend Gordon, especially for contentious cases.
