My Hero

Rosemary represented me in my divorce case that began in 2017 and finally ended in December 2019. I was living with an emotionally abusive, alcoholic, manipulative partner. He fought everything even when it was against his own best interests and as such, the divorce was incredibly costly and drawn ou...t. At times, I really didn't know if I was going to be able to make it, but Rosemary was always steady and clear-eyed. She didn't sugar coat anything but rather assured me that I had the strength to continue and that she'd be by my side. She was always quick to answer a question, and advocated fiercely for me in court and in communications with the other side. She's collaborative - meaning she would take my input, have productive dialogues with the children't attorney, and she TRIED to collaborate with the other side, however it my husband's attorneys seemed more interested in billing hours than bringing our case to closure. Long story short, two years later, my kids and I are starting over. I got custody which was most important to me to ensure kids are safe and stable.

Excellent Results

I give Rosemary my highest recommendation. Through her diligence, expert knowledge of the law and extremely effective negotiating approach, she turned a challenging child custody situation into the best possible outcome for my children while successfully avoiding a costly trial. I would not hesita...te to hire her again if the need arose.

SIMPLY THE BEST ONE!

Rosemary was recommended to me by a court clerk who works there for over 25 years and said this is THE BEST LAWYER she ever saw and would recommend only her. and yes, she was my attorney who helped me to reach my goal quickly in court and was very mindful of my costs. High integrity, clear explan...ation of cons and pros of the case and a good strategist. Very patient, very reliable and responsive and very kind. SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST ONE

Excellent lawyer

Rosemary Rivieccio was terrific in my complicated divorce and custody case. She is 100% reliable, a strong litigator, and knows family law thoroughly. I appreciated that fact that she was efficient and mindful of keeping my bill down. She did not waste any time in meetings or on the phone. She was s...uperb in court. The court reporter even told me I had a good lawyer.

Not someone you should deal with

Ms Rivieccio was appointed as Law Guardian for my children in a custody battle. Not only did she never consult with me ( Aside from remittance of payment at 3 times the retainer of another Law Guardian that was disqualified for conflicts ) she sided against me and accepted coached responses from an... 8 and 4 year old as solid evidence ( she believed that an 8 year old came up with the phrase 'we need a new strategy" on her own ), Truly a low point in the administration of justice. Biased and lazy. Goes through the motions but doesn't consider them at all.
