The attorneys at Gordon Law were there when I needed them. Bryan was very responsive and Steven fought hard to make sure that I was treated fairly and got what I was entitled to. He always took time to explain what was going on and why. I highly recommend Gordon Law to anyone who needs a lawyer who will have your back.

Everyone I dealt with from start to finish here was an absolute All-Star! My lawyer was Alexis Bullard, who always took the time to go over all the technical ins and outs of each major step, and I also worked very closely with their paralegal Krista, who helped me with far more than I ever could’ve imagined. As painful of an experience as my home purchase was because of outside factors, these folks really made it bearable and kept me on the right track from start to finish.
