Excellent Divorce Attorney

My attorneys at Rower LLC, Alyssa and her associate Jen, guided me through my divorce with excellent advice and made the process way less daunting than it otherwise could’ve been. They were always extremely professional even when the other side was not. I felt completely taken care off and like my be...st interests were being represented at every step. Alyssa was a kind and empathetic counselor to me, but an absolute bulldog with opposing counsel when she needed to be (while remaining professional and composed). In mediation, Alyssa was quick on her feet and adept at coming up with smart and creative solutions that moved the case towards settlement while putting my interests first. The firm also has an excellent rolodex of mediators, former matrimonial judges, financial advisors, accountants, and other professionals they rely on to give clients well-rounded advice and to help resolve cases.

Outstanding Divorce and Family Law Lawyer based in NYC

I highly recommend Alyssa and her team for any and all Family Law matters. While my experience with her related to a separation and ultimate divorce, I do not doubt for a second that she and her team excel at any aspect of family law. She is highly professional, super detail-oriented and knowledgea...ble, strategic, intelligent and extremely responsive. In addition, she is a lovely, caring human being who brings the exact right combination of empathy and sensitivity and "tough love" that you want during a highly charged divorce situation to make sure that she is protecting her client's best interests despite the complex emotions and landscape of a divorce. She excels at client-service, as well, and is great to work with. I could not have had a better person by my side during this process.

Divorce Case

Alyssa guided and advised me throughout my recent difficult divorce from the moment I was unexpectedly served divorce papers through to signing the agreement she was incredible. I felt a huge amount of relief the minute I spoke to Alyssa, she is extremely knowledgable, honest and realistic, she will ...not waste your time or money which is critical in a process like divorce. She understood my needs and acted accordingly and her professionalism and deep knowledge were comforting throughout this difficult process. She always responded to my questions and concerns quickly and ensured that I understood each step along the way. I highly recommend Alyssa and her team.

Dedicated, experienced, smart and hard working

I hired Alyssa for a separation agreement. We were working under a tight deadline. Alyssa's dedication to getting the job done withing deadline was out of this world. From early mornings or late evenings conference calls to emails all week end long, Alyssa and Leslie were always available to me. ...Alyssa's experience is impressive and her suggestions on how to write the separation agreement and how to handle all the items in the agreement were always smart and on point. We got everything done within the deadline and I couldn't be happier. You won't regret working with her. In addition, back office at her firm is all on line (from signing retained to tracking billing) so it's very simple and time efficient.

A Winning Combination: An Attorney With Compassion and Strong Ethics

I met with Alyssa Rower In the early stages of contemplating a divorce. She was attentive, kind and offered several suggestions while outlining a typical procedure that would likely ensue. I was struck by her forthright nature, honest and clear answers and advice. I met with several attorneys befo...re choosing Ms. Rower to take my case but after meeting her, the decision was easy. It was a difficult divorce, somewhat acrimonious and the opposing council maintained a very defensive and adversarial front. Ms. Rower met this with a measured and highly ethical approach. Her attitude and methods were beyond reproach at all times. While no pushover, she dealt with difficult people and issues with courtesy and respect and above all, high moral standards. Ms. Rower understood every single aspect of the contentious divorce. Each detail was addressed and dealt with methodically and thoroughly and she represented my best interests at all times. She always made herself available to me. Her positive and forthright approach helped me avoid a court battle and within 9 months a satisfactory settlement was reached. Ms. Rower clearly cares about her clients and treated me as an individual rather than just another 'case'. I feel like the difference between a good divorce attorney and a great one, is one who understands the person and shows them compassion, while offering calm, prudent advice. Alyssa Rower is just such a person. She is kind, ethical and excellent at what she does. I am so very lucky that she took my case!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I'm a matrimonial attorney-mediator and a long-time colleague of Alyssa's. That I chose to hire her to handle my own divorce says more than I could do justice to in this review! Alyssa has all the qualities one would want in the attorney handling their matrimonial matter. She's whip-smart and extremely organized; nothing escapes her. She's an incredible advocate for her clients, and a wonderful colleague to have on the opposing side of a case. She's a leader within our professional community, and she operates at the highest level of integrity always. I would - I did - hire her in a heartbeat!"
