I hired this attorney's office for an eviction mid October 2025.I was directed to Dianne and right from the start she was rude and argumentative about every detail. I was charged an extra fee of $250 if case went to court,it did not. I have been asking for a detailed list of charges for a month, I've been told Dianne would get right on it. I called again and was told she was sick. I asked to speak to her boss, he promptly called me and said I should retain another attorney because they can't help me. Instead of acting like a considerate reasonable human being and resolving the issue with candor I was dismissed with disdain and rudeness. I don't suggest this office for Any work as I've experienced total disrespect, unprofessional behavior and improper billing practices.I am a client Not a defendant!

Mr. Gorton was polite and respectful to me and the judge. His professionalism was extremely crucial to my case. He is thorough. He briefly explained (only the nessary) what was going to happen. He will fight until you win. Definitely recommend him to anyone needed his type of services.

Lachman & Gorton represented my adult son in his Disability trial. My son suffered a traumatic brain injury 6 1/2 years ago and has been struggling with severe memory issues, physical issues and depression ever since. Social Security denied every application for assistance. The attorneys at Lachman & Gorton clarified the appeal process, helped organize the relevant information, and told him exactly what to expect at the trial so he didn't panic. He will now receive financial assistance for his basic needs so I don't have to sell a kidney to cover expenses. Thank you, L&G, for your good deeds and compassionate understanding of our situation.

Mr. Gorton was such a pleasure to come across. I was fighting my SSI case and I kept seeing his commercials, over and over. I took it as a sign and called. The office staff is friendly and compassionate.
This office knows their stuff! If you need an attorney for any of the matters they cover, I suggest calling right now! You won't be disappointed.
