Towering above all
I was going through a tough divorce/child custody case and Geanine Towers was my 4 attorney. I felt the other attorneys wasn't listening to my concerns and wanted to do things that was best for me without my input. I wanted a knowledgeable attorney that first listened, then act accordingly. Ms. Tower...
Dear Sterling, Thank you for this excellent review! As a client, you have also lived up to your name. Your no-nonsense attitude made you a pleasure to represent. Your confidence in me allowed me to think outside the box. You've helped me grow as an attorney and while I've always been attuned, I'm listening to clients' ideas in a new light, ever since. Geanine

Now I Can Relax
After having been slandered and harassed by my husband's sister for ten years, I looked for a lawyer who would help me protect myself from her. My husband found Geanine Towers through the yellow pages, and when we researched her, we were happy with what we found. Ms. Towers is a compassionate liste...
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you. We also had a very good judge, who understood the situation intuitively in a way I haven't fully seen from all the members of the judiciary I've encountered. It was my pleasure to work with you on this matter and, as with most of my clients, your reasonableness and willingness to compromise went a long way toward our success in this matter. You're a smart, decent person and I think the quality of your life will change without the harassment you experienced bearing down on you any longer.

Disagree completely!
I was floored when I read the above referenced review, it is the complete opposite of my experience with Ms. Towers. I have found her to be proactive in protecting the interests of her client, knowledgable in her area of practice, professional/polite in her dealing with her client and opposing clien...
Dear Matrimonial Client, Your attention to detail and your patient and stoic nature have made it a joy to work with you. We're in the thick of things now, and I do hope and anticipate that our honest efforts to negotiate these matters will be fruitful. Best Wishes, Geanine p.s. This client is referring to a poorly written blurb apparently written by a person who was not my client. The review appears below and not above hers. Mix family law and the "Wild West" of the Internet and these types of things can crop up.
"I endorse this lawyer. She is a hard working, intelligent and knowledgeable attorney who is tough but civil toward her adversaries."
"Geanine is an excellent criminal defense and family attorney. She is a zealous advocate for her clients and well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse Geanine. She is a highly skilled attorney in family and matrimonial appeals matters and she is well respected in the legal community. Geanine shared office space with me for approximately one year. She has been responsible for handling cases from inception to conclusion including negotiating successful resolutions for her clients."
"I was an Administrative Law Judge for the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission from 2004 to 2010. During that time Geanine was a mentor and at times supervisor. I endorse Geanine Towers because she is a zealous advocate who is committed to working in the public interest for families and children. Geanine has worked in the Family Court and at the Appellate Division, Second Department, as a Court Attorney to the judges. In legal matters Geanine is very analytical, with an ability to explain the law in plain English. Geanine is a skilled and experienced attorney and treats everyone with dignity and respect. If I had a family matter, I would hire Geanine."
"I endorse this lawyer. I developed a professional relationship with Geanine Towers through Avvo. I have read the advice she has given people with divorce issues on Avvo. Her writing is exceptional and her critical analysis of the issues is outstanding. I would highly recommend her to any person who is in need of a divorce attorney."
