Prenuptial agreement

I chose to work with Alyssa on my prenuptial agreement due to her experience practicing matrimonial law since 2008. She has written extensively on different matrimonial law topics, and I found her perspectives nuanced, well-informed, and aligned with how I wanted to approach my prenup. The experi...ence of working with her was excellent. She communicated issues clearly, focused in on important topics, and gave me space to formulate my own view on key decisions with her counsel. I feel secure in the agreement she negotiated and confident that I have received the best representation possible.

Caring and compassionate attorney

Alyssa and her team guided me through a separation and divorce process that lasted over five years, which included complicated matters of international custody and asset division. Alyssa was always prepared, her strategies and motions well-researched, and her arguments on point. She and her team alwa...ys answered my emails and texts promptly. Her care and compassion softened a difficult and emotional process. I trusted her to always be honest with me, but to always fight for what my children and I needed to begin a new chapter in our lives. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to keep my best interests at heart.

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.

Highly recommend Rower LLC (Alyssa Rower)

I was referred to Alyssa by two different friends and I chose to work with her because she was extremely professional, she took the time to understand my current and future goals, and I immediately felt at ease with her. She walked me through the divorce process and kept me updated at every step. Whi...le my divorce was amicable, the attorney on the other side was extremely different and Alyssa handled the entire situation with tact and grace and an amazing outcome. The divorce was finalized several years ago, but I've called on Alyssa to ask a question or negotiate a situation that changed, as circumstances often do in life. She was able to jump in and support me, even years later. She is highly responsive and always strives for the best outcomes for her clients.

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.

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!"
