Secured Father primary custody in high conflict situation

After my divorce was finalized, I was referred to Gordon due to my ex-wife's escalation in hostility, anti co-parenting approach, and threats. Over nearly five years, Gordon sought to de-escalate conflict yet we had to go to mediation and arbitration multiple times. After my ex physically and emotio...nally assaulted our son, Gordon secured a Protection Order leading to a change in custody. My kids are now safe and happy. Thank you Gordon!

Excellent in high conflict divorces

Gordon was very supportive from the start. I was in a very vulnerable position and he taught me a lot about abuse; helped me to open my eyes. He pushed me when I needed to stand up for myself which was very difficult for me, but was always respectful of my choices. He played fair with the opposing c...ounsel and was not disrespectful, as he knew this was important to me, but still fought hard for my rights. His assistant, Misti, is amazing. She is very detail oriented and does not make any mistakes; they work wonderful as a team. The office is always available within a day to respond to your needs. Gordon really puts his heart into his work and truly cares about your situation and helping you.

Highly Recommend Especially in Difficult Cases

I turned to The Lotzkar Law Firm for my divorce proceedings after a bad experience with another. In my first interview with Gordon, I found he had faced contentious cases many times before in his practice. His legal knowledge helped keep me 'sane' in an otherwise crazy-making situation. Throughout ...the process he and his assistants were always available for my (many) questions by email, phone, in person. They were empathetic, knowledgeable and redirected my energy toward tactics that helped me get a great settlement with a very contentious ex. He doesn't ask for a retainer fee and EVERY penny I spent was well earned. He delivers invoices that are completely transparent to inform you which activities and by whom, are billed. During one of my life's most difficult situations, I am truly grateful I selected the Lotzkar Law Firm. I recommend them highly for anyone looking for family legal advice/representation.

Lazy, combative with his client, gentle lamb to his opponent

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.

Pursuant to attorney - client privileged we are unable to comment on Mr. Heberer's case directly. If we could we would provide a very different account of his case which would be accurate. It is unfortunate that Mr. Heberer is choosing to take his frustrations out on our firm. We stand by the excellent work we performed for him. Our 26 years representing clients with family law matters speaks for itself. With respect to the issue of immediate payment for invoices generated, we do expect immediate payment due to the fact that we do not require retainers or any advance fees from our clients. As a result our only requirement is that our clients pay upon receipt of their invoice. Our client's love this arrangement and we have never had anyone complain about it.
