Smart & Levelheaded

Rosemary represented me in a divorce / custody case that threatened my custody of the kids. As a father, I heard horror stories about losing custody which only added to my anxiety. I contacted her on a recommendation from a family friend, and am extremely happy that I did. Rosemary is smart, levelhea...ded, and quick witted. With her expertise, I won back the custody of my children and finally settled the divorce on terms more equitable than were presented to me originally. She was able to keep me on track when emotions ran high. Rosemary is professional and worked well with the judge and the children’s attorney. She is an amazing lawyer and I'd highly recommend her.

Child Custody Case

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Mrs. Rivieccio for the way she handled my custody case. As a father you go into these situations worried that your concerns would not be taken seriously, but Mrs. Rivieccio was thoughtful, prepared, succinct, professional, and always available to follow up on... my questions and requests of the court. She took the time to sit with me each time and explain the legalese which would have gone over my head. The differences between she and my daughter's mother's attorney were apparent and were very much a part of the reason why I now have custody of my daughter. I would not hesitate to hire her or refer her in the future.

Great Attorney

When I first came to Rosemary I was like many in a bitter divorce battle. Rosemary Rivieccio kept me focused, and thinking about what is truly important especially for our son. In addition to, she always displayed sound judgments, keen insight and focused direction in getting me through my divorc...e. Rosemary Rivieccio is patient and kind, beyond what you would expect from an attorney. I highly recommend her.

EXCELLENT LAWYER, HIGHLY EXPERIENCED AND WELL VERSED IN THE FIELD OF FAMILY LAW

Back in January 2015 I hired Rosemary to represent me in a custody visitation case and also assist me with my child support case. After meeting with Rosemary for a consultation, I knew that she was the best lawyer to represent me, during this process. She is extremely knowledgeable, honest and provid...ed me with great feedback on what each parent’s rights and obligations were in both the custody and child support case. Rosemary also navigated well in the court room and explained the process and the law in a way that helped me to understand what was going on and what the next steps were. Rosemary was very patient, kind and very detailed oriented. She listed to all of my preferences and also help me to be realistic and fair, when looking at my preferences and wants during the process. During the end of the process everything that I asked for Rosemary was able to help me obtain in the final orders. I definitely without a doubt would hire Rosemary again, she is the top of top in New York City, and the best there is in the field.

She might be the BEST attorney for children in Manhattan

Rosemary is an excellent attorney! She represented my children for several years as my case dragged through family court at a snail's pace. Rosemary ALWAYS put my children's wishes and desires ahead of everyone else's just as the code of conduct requires attorneys for children to do. She never waiver...ed in supporting my children's best interests, even when my ex and I were too polarized to hear what our kids wanted. In the end, my kids still send her a Christmas card every year since she started representing them in 2003! They loved her and I am eternally grateful that she helped our family get through several very difficult years.
