Gordon is exceptional in his knowledge of the law. Moreover, Gordon has great relationships with judges and his attorney colleagues—this is key for tackling cases ensuring an optimal outcome.

His strategy was spot on an he did legal maneuvers that helped me in my case. Gordon would also take adequate time to answer my questions and he was exceptional at explaining the law to me.

Gordon prepared me, was honest, trustworthy, and being informed of what could happen in court prepared me for the worst case scenario ( I truly believe that because Gordon was on my case, my case ended sooner than it would have. Gordon was highly prepared, on-top of my case, and had options the day of court based on various scenarios that could play out. I would recommend Gordon to anyone who is in need of an exceptional lawyer who is affordable.
I had a 100% positive experience working with Gordon as my divorce attorney.
