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.

A Big-Picture Thinker Who Delivers

Alyssa Rower was referred to me by an acquaintance following a punishing 2-year-long mediation process for a separation. I was anxious to solidify (legalize) the agreement and move on. But it was complicated: a substantial amount of money was involved, unusual terms had been only partially negotiated..., and the opposing attorney was determined to make the process ugly. From the day I encountered Alyssa and her team, I was impressed. Her administrative staff, her fellow lawyers, and Alyssa, herself, were exceptionally professional. Everything they did came from a place of expertise, rigor, determination, grit, intelligence, and, at the same time, poise. Alyssa is the lawyer you want by your side: she doesn't miss a beat; she's creative; she's exceptionally sharp; she sees the forest for the trees; she's assertive. And, importantly, no matter how thorny or adversarial things get, she is compassionate. Alyssa possesses the rare ability to be tough and gentle at the same time. And she has the confidence to tell you exactly what she's thinking -- and why. With Alyssa, you never get fed a sugar-coated rationale. She's a straight shooter. Alyssa's remarkable calm in the face of a vitriolic opposing attorney -- whose mission was to elevate tension and animosity -- was nothing short of remarkable. Importantly, I am very satisfied with the outcome of Alyssa's work. I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with her and her team. I recommend Alyssa Rower unreservedly.

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!"
