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!

Could not be happier, and how often do you hear that about a divorce attorney?

Hiring Alyssa was a terrific decision! Her work on my behalf and all of my interactions with her felt like a 'shining light of goodness" during a difficult process. She understood my values and priorities and helped me stay true to them throughout. I always felt that my long-term well-being ...was her ultimate goal and also her primary responsibility (I felt like my case was front and center in her mind at all times.) For me, this meant that as long as Alyssa was there as my advocate, I could let go of some of my worries. Alyssa is the consummate professional. She is a skilled lawyer who is knowledgeable, intelligent, and has great judgement. She is organized, efficient, direct, clear and responsive, the combination of which makes her extremely effective. In addition to all of that, Alyssa is always calm, warm, personable and empathetic. I recommend her without hesitation.

Compassionate and Attentive

I hired Alyssa in February to help me with my divorce. What has surprised me most in my interactions with her is how compassionate she is toward the process of getting divorced. She understood that this is an incredibly tough time for *all* parties involved in my case, and she always recommended th...at I try and resolve my case as amicably as possible -- for everyone's benefit. During my case, I always felt like I was taking the high road, and not resorting to shady tactics that one normally associates with divorce lawyers. Alyssa was also extremely attentive to my needs, and would often call or e-mail me back within a few hours of me contacting her. She also took the time to make sure that I understood the advice that she was giving me, and she went out of her way to make sure that I felt comfortable with every decision along the way... and there are a lot of them! On top of all of this, Alyssa is an expert in financial matters, and knows her way around Excel. I have a pretty complicated financial life, and Alyssa was quickly able to understand my financial situation, and give me actionable advice regarding settlement discussions. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend that you choose Alyssa to help you with your family law matters. You won't regret it.

Great lawyer in a very difficult time

Alyssa went beyond the call when it came to my case. She was always available. Nad always gave me good, solid advice. She has never steered me wrong and has done very well representing me in court over the last five years. I have a case that will not go away and she continues to make sure that we g...et the best outcomes possible. She cares about her clients and she has made in difference in my life. My divorce could have gone in many different directions, but she made sure to keep the proceedings on tract and has persevered with me. She is a true gift. I don't think I could have kept it together without her.

Alyssa Rower

Alyssa and her team have been great to work with through a challenging time. They are patient with me explaining next steps, what I need to do to prepare and even with legalese I am not familiar with . Flexible with meetings (as I am a single mom) and I always feel I will get honest feedback. Alyssa... presents herself in a professional manner at all times but without feeling unapproachable. I trust her opinions and support through my divorce.

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!"
