Great attorney- compassionate, knowledgeable, and hard worker

I’m so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Emily Sitzler during one of the most difficult times in my life. She helped me navigate the custody process with clarity and professionalism, always fighting for my daughter’s best interest. Ms. Sitzler listened to my concerns and was ...never dismissive but took me seriously. From the first consultation she was very compassionate and understanding and it was clear to me that she truly cared about my situation. Our case involved collaboration with other lawyers/GAL, law enforcement, psych evaluators, visitation supervisors, and witnesses and she managed this all very professionally and offered clear advice for me throughout the case. I also greatly appreciated the time she put into preparing me for testifying, and helping me to feel safe at the courthouse. Thanks to her work, I was granted custody of my 23-month-old daughter and permission to move to NY to be with my family. I truly appreciate her help and the help of her staff and would recommend them to anyone going through a custody case who wants a lawyer who cares, listens, works hard, and knows the law.

Save yourself time, money, and heartbreak... START with Rowe & Sitzler

We finally hired Emily after hiring several of the areas "best" custody attorneys and paying tens of $K's for disinterest and poor communication (at best) for our ongoing child welfare/custody case. Emily was recommended to us by our child's trauma specialist as an attorney who takes interest in h...er cases, and most importantly, schedules herself enough time to have an understanding of your case before entering the court room. (If you've had other attorneys, you know this is rare.) Emily put us at ease and then got work doing what she does best! Her performance and demeanor in the courtroom is impeccable! She's not afraid to tackle tough issues or ask hard questions. The staff at Rowe & Sitzler is also outstanding! Again, taking time to know who you are and understand your situation. They are also incredibly helpful answering questions, and are happy to do so (another rarity). Thank you Rowe and Sitzler! We'll never use anyone else again.

Excellent attorney

Emily is an excellent attorney. She takes the time to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. She is also flexible when it comes to scheduling appointments and/or phone conferences. Emily always responds promptly and makes you feel like you are her top priority. She is very knowledgea...ble, patient, kind, and honest. I could not be happier with her services. I highly recommend Emily.
