Excellent service for an entire family

Excellent service. I have used Alla's firm for all my legal needs and would highly recommend her to anyone . I have done closings, wills and divorce using Alla's firm.

An excellent mediation lawyer

I would highly recommend Alla as a mediation lawyer. She is knowledgable and was very helpful in mediating our uncontested divorce.

Terrific Real Estate Lawyer and Divorce Mediator

Alla Roytberg has assisted me with various legal transactions for more than ten years. She has helped me purchase a coop apartment, sell that apartment, and buy another. She has an extensive and deep knowledge of real estate law as well as vast experience dealing with cooperative management structure...s in New York, which tend to have their own byzantine rules and quirky behaviors. She has done it all while remaining calm, professional, and responsive. Ms. Roytberg has also helped me in divorce mediation and to settle certain sensitive issues around child custody. This entailed two party mediation and drawing up terms. I found Ms. Roytberg to be again straightforward and tough as well as helpful.

Posted by Vladimir | March 05, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Alla Roytberg guided me through a very difficult divorce making all efforts to save my emotions and money

Alla was able to clarify many difficult situations, used various tactics to reduce level of hostility and guide through the divorce process with confidence, patience, and understanding of my needs.

Posted by Steve | December 15, 2014 | Child Custody

Custody/Visitation Modification Consultations

I did not have the resources to hire an attorney for representation in a move to modify custody and support orders in a NY Family Court. A friend gave me Alla's name and I contacted her for a consultation to help me with self-representation. The thing I noticed immediately after the first meeting ...was that she seemed to have a way of assessing the overall issues quickly and then the ability to provide guidance which gave me confidence to continue. The second thing I noticed was that she was correct in her advice, which is why I returned to her for further consultations. I would recommend Alla for anyone who is looking for a good lawyer who has a comprehensive understanding of NY family Courts and also, a good understanding of what individual people need.

Mediation lawyer | Mar 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Roytberg on numerous occasions. She is a top flight attorney and extremely knowledgeable in the family law/matrimonial arena. Ms. Roytberg is wonderful at attempting to find a solution and work through the mediation process rather than force her clients into the lengthy and expensive matrimonial litigation. But when mediation either fails or is not an option, Ms. Roytberg is a forceful and effective advocate for her client. It is without any hestiancy that i endorse Alla Roytberg and any client that retains her services will be represented by one of the best lawyers."
