Gordon Lotzkar

From the very first call, Gordon Lotzkar provided sound legal advice. He advocated for me and protected me during a very messy divorce. This was no easy feat as my ex-husband is an attorney himself. In the end, I was able to get the financial result I wanted without going to trial and for a fraction ...of the cost of large law firms. He was always available, even when he was out of the country. He was responsive, trustworthy, professional and attentive. I would recommend Mr. Lotzkar to anyone going through a high conflict divorce. I am forever grateful for Gordon’s honest and direct communication and advocacy. For someone who has had a hard time being heard, he helped me find my voice.

Gordon has been my divorce lawyer for the last 3 years and I don't know where I'd be without him. I was very lost and had no knowledge of my rights when my ex-husband and I first separated. We have 3 children between us, and my ex was bullying me into not having to pay any child support, getting full... custody of my children, turning off all my utilities, etc. Gordon consistently explained my rights to me, gave his professional opinion, but also gave me the room to make my own decisions. I've always felt he's completely honest and transparent with me. He doesn't beat around the bush and is frank and direct. This is exactly what I needed to make my own informed decisions. My ex and I not only had a painful, drawn out divorce, but recently had to go back to mediation for other issues my ex had. Gordon once again hit the mark on every single part of mediation before, during, and after. Thanks to Gordon's counsel, every contesting part was found in my favor. There were several times I got the impression that my ex's lawyer had not counseled him well at all because Gordon was far more knowledgeable. In the end, everything was in my favor and I did not have to change a single thing. As a single working mother of 3, I don't know where I'd be without Gordon's help. He not only gives expert advice, but also has tried helping me financially by having his paralegal team do as much work as possible at a lower rate. He frequently provides things such as emails or calls at no cost, and his service is worth every penny. I have had the option several times of either representing myself or finding a different cheaper lawyer, and have never thought twice about it. I will continue to only use Gordon in the future and can rest easy knowing I have in my corner.

I can't think of a single positive thing that Lotzkar did for me. The associate that was working with me on my case left the firm after discovery and before mediation. This caused several things to be not sent to opposing council who then got an order to compel 'me' to do things I had already done an...d this was repeatedly brought up in later documents filed with the court by opposing council. Gordon personally sent over several documents I provided to him privately to opposing council that undermined my case and wrote sophomoric briefs that made no arguments at all and just called the opposing side names. He gave me literally no preparation going into mediation and was himself outwitted continuously. He paid little to no attention to the edits opposing council made to agreements he drafted and did not make me aware of them or the implications at all. I fired him before the case was done because I literally couldn't stand the lack of effort he put into the case. His impact was incredibly negative and cost me literally in the neighborhood of $100,000. For this impact I paid $30,000. The associate attorney quitting or being fired mid-case was really the turning point. I was marginalized from that moment on and charged a hefty fee for the privilege. Also, literally the day he issues you a bill he considers you late for payment. If he spent half as much time defending my interests as chasing me for money on a bill that he put out for less than a week he probably would have gotten another star. This guy is absolutely a negative factor to your team. He brags about knowing the arbitrator and knowing the court system and it means nothing and I think it encourages him to dial it in.

I could not be happier with the representation that I received from Gordon during my divorce. He is aggressive when he needs to be and also negotiates well. I always knew that he had my best interest at heart and he fought hard for me and was successfull. Gordon communicates very well and always r...eturned my phone calls promptly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a highly skilled, aggressive, and brilliant attorney,
