About

I bring more than 25 years of experience in mediation and litigation in New York courts to help people reduce costs and resolve conflicts with dignity. People going through a divorce, separation or another legal process are often surprised by the cost of the process, both financially and emotionally. They want a fair and cost-effective result that addresses their concerns and gives them closure. Every case is different. I and members of my law firm team use our initial meeting to listen and understand your specific concerns. Once we have the facts, we can work toward the process that will work best for your situation. Our goal in any dispute is to help resolve it with dignity, whether that is through mediation, collaborative law, negotiation or unbundled legal services, - a unique and cost-effective approach that provides legal asisstance to people who choose to represent themselves.My law firm's practice focuses on matrimonial and family law, divorce, prenuptial agreements and business mediation and collaborative divorce with an ancillary general practice, which includes residential real estate, wills, trusts and estates. I am fluent in Russian and frequently address legal needs of the Russian Community in New York. I am an Advanced Mediator and Founding Member of the Association of Professional Family Mediators and a member and former president of the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York. I am also an Advanced Practitioner member of Association for Conflict Resolution, member of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals, of the Professional Responsibility Committee and of the Small Law Firms’ Committee at the New York City Bar Association. I am  admitted to the Bars of the States of New York and New Jersey and to the Supreme Court of the United States.

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 structures 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.

As a client of Mrs. Alla Roytberg, I feel confident in recommending her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, thorough and very competent attorney. I feel that Mrs. Roytberg understands her clients' needs and fights hard for their rights. I sought the counsel and representation of Mrs. Roytberg after being involved in hostile Divorce process that had been going on for over a year. At that point, I had spent more than twenty thousald dollars in attorney's fees which caused so much demage to my case financialy and emotionaly. My overall experience with Mrs. Roytberg is that she is genuine and cares, profesional and legally skilled. She sugested the best legal strategy for me and gave me the confidence I needed to face this challenge of my life. She understood my case very well and her advice was perfect. Mrs. Roytberg is an ethical lawyer who comes very highly recommend .

Alla represented me in my divorce case in 2015. I found her via Avvo and after the consultation, I hired her since she gave me confidence that I will have a fair shot in the fight. As a father in NYC, it's an uphill battle to gain a favorable outcome. When you add young children and a vengeful spouse into the mix, it just gets worse. Alla represented me in family court and supreme court as the case goes through multiple frivolous motions, baseless claims. Throughout the journey, Alla patiently explained the steps and the best strategies to deal with a spiteful opponent. She responded promptly to all my emails and managed to give me calm despite all the turmoils. In court, Alla methodically and expertly refuted all the claims and motions, one by one. Looking at the stack of court paper on my desk, I'm still amazed by the many motions the mom filled and how all of them were denied. It took more than a year and a half to finalize our divorce with a great outcome. I was able to negotiate full custody of the children and move the kids out of NYC. The financial cost is huge but would be catastrophic without her representation. Funny enough, my ex-spouse even asked Alla to represent her in post-divorce motions against me. It's just more proof of how effective her representation is perceived. To conclude, I strongly recommend Alla to anyone looking for a great divorce attorney. She will do her best for you. I still keep in touch with her to this day because who knows, I may need her help in the future.

Alla Roytberg/her firm handled several personal matters for me over the years. She has excellent attention and retention of details, respects the law and finds best solutions for her clients. This firm has provided me and my family with "peace of mind," practical advice and good resolutions when sought in ordinary and urgent circumstances.

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.

Alla is smart, thorough, and deeply cares about her clients. She not only fights aggressively for them, but tries to find solutions that work for them in the long run. I have referred many clients to her over the years and have only received positive feedback from them. I would refer to her without hesitation.
