Caring and smart

I have worked with Gordon multiple times. He knows his stuff and genuinely cares. He successfully won a contempt case against my ex and provided me with excellent parenting plan guidance as needed. He has a fantastic support team and I really like the new hourly payment plan that doesn't require a re...tainer fee.

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!

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.

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.
