Gordon is the BEST

Gordon, is probably the best divorce attorney in the US. He handled my case well. He came into a bad situation where my previous attorney was friends of my EX's attorney. So at the beginning when all of the Arbiters were friends of my EX's attorney it was difficult but he held his ground. Once my... EX switched attorneys, he crushed the opposition everytime. He won multiple "Contempt" motions and ridiculous motions of my EX. I think he won 6 motions in a row and got attorney fees! Just tremendous job by Gordon.

A genuine, caring, professional lawyer

I was recommended to work with Gordon by another lawyer who was retiring, and I am thankful that Gordon assisted me through a challenging divorce. Gordon and his team handled my case with compassion and integrity. Gordon himself offered suggestions and solutions that made a person such as myself, an...d unfamiliar with the law, at ease and empowered me to make choices that benefited my children. For Gordon and his team, the end goal was to resolve conflict with as little damage as possible to myself and my children and to that end they worked diligently and efficiently. His advice enabled my children to have financial support for college from my ex-spouse that otherwise would not have been given. Gordon is also a great listener and genuinely cares about his clients; if you are placing your trust in someone for such an emotional and financial issue as divorce, I can't think of anyone better.

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

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.
