I'm a lawyer myself. Selecting Gordon to replace my first attorney was the best decision I made.

I went to Gordon because I lacked confidence with my original attorney. Best decision I ever made. I’m a lawyer myself and can get a sense of whether the quality of oral arguments and written briefing is good vs shoddy vs a ‘show for the client.’ I can also appreciate the risks of various legal strat...egies. Gordon was, (and still is) very effective with my case. My Ex was very unreasonable, and her counsel was difficult, aggressive, unethical, and unprofessional. Gordon encouraged me to make some difficult decisions- and they paid off big time in the end. I suspected my case would end up among those 5% that goes to trial (due entirely to the other party, not for a lack of genuine effort by Gordon). I was correct. Gordon was not frightened by the prospect of trial (Many attorneys are, especially when Opposing Counsel is aggressive and difficult). Gordon performed very well at trial. He was the ‘adult in the room’ and the judge appreciated it. The judge sided with me entirely- even though the other side spent enormous amounts of money. Thanks to Gordon, I have 50/50 with my son, and no longer worry about relocation. I should add that Gordon’s fees/application of fees was very reasonable. I was not charged for hours of ‘research’ because Gordon already knows the law. I don’t have a bad thing to say about Gordon or his capable team of associates and paralegals. -Leif D.

Expert Guidance When I Needed It Most

Lotzkar Law Firm came highly recommended by a close friend when I was looking for a lawyer to guide me through my divorce. From my very first conversation with Gordon, I immediately felt that I was in capable and caring hands. I had very little knowledge of the legal process and didn’t know what t...o expect, but Gordon and his team patiently guided me through every step. Their knowledge, professionalism, and support made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel much more manageable. Everyone I worked with was approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through the process. I was also incredibly grateful for the effort they made to make the payment process as straightforward and affordable as possible. Their understanding and flexibility were truly a blessing during a challenging time. I am deeply appreciative of the guidance, expertise, and compassion I received from the entire team at Lotzkar Law Firm. I don’t know what I would have done without them, and I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of thoughtful and professional legal support.

Exceptional Family Law Attorney — Strategic, Knowledgeable, and Trustworthy

I would highly recommend Attorney Gordon to anyone facing a complicated family law matter. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, and strategic, with a strong understanding of complex cases involving high-conflict situations, substantial assets, and international issues. One of Gordon’s greatest st...rengths is his ability to see beyond the immediate issue. He understands how different pieces of a complicated case connect, anticipates potential challenges, and provides thoughtful advice with the bigger picture in mind. He is the kind of attorney who thinks things through carefully and follows through rather than simply taking a short-term approach. I also greatly respect Gordon’s professionalism and integrity. He is ethical, transparent, and honest about his advice and the legal process. He explains complicated issues clearly and gives you a realistic understanding of your options. When dealing with an important and difficult family law matter, having an attorney who is both highly capable and trustworthy makes a tremendous difference. Gordon is someone I would confidently recommend to my friends and family.

Review for Gordon Lotzkar

I cannot recommend Gordon highly enough. Throughout my case, he was patient, understanding, and incredibly thorough. He always took the time to answer my questions, explain my options, and make sure I felt informed every step of the way. Gordon was a strong advocate for me and was aggressive when ...necessary, but never in a way that felt combative or disrespectful. He struck the perfect balance of being firm, professional, and effective. His knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for me made a difficult process much easier to navigate. If you're looking for an attorney who will truly listen, fight for your best interests, and guide you through the process with integrity, I would highly recommend Gordon.
