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 knowledgeable, 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.

I was extremely pleased with Kara and Alyssa at Rower and if you have any clients who need to seek relief in family court etc, I highly recommend them. They rose to the occasion on no notice to address my needs, which were to find crim counsel and to effectively work with my husband’s matrimonial attorney at a time of crisis. They de-escalated the situation so much that it helped preserve our marriage. They also just returned my retainer in lightening speed. Their legal effectiveness and client service - not being all about the money and their ability to minimize issues and find commonality - are remarkable.

Going through my divorce has not been easy, but Alyssa has helped ensure that the legal aspect has not contributed to the difficulty. From the start, she took the time to understand my needs in the situation and sent me background information on divorce proceedings. Throughout the process she has kept me up to date on developments and has worked efficiently. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone seeking a divorce attorney.

Alyssa guided and advised me throughout my recent difficult divorce from the moment I was unexpectedly served divorce papers through to signing the agreement she was incredible. I felt a huge amount of relief the minute I spoke to Alyssa, she is extremely knowledgable, honest and realistic, she will not waste your time or money which is critical in a process like divorce. She understood my needs and acted accordingly and her professionalism and deep knowledge were comforting throughout this difficult process. She always responded to my questions and concerns quickly and ensured that I understood each step along the way. I highly recommend Alyssa and her team.

I was very pleased with the service of Rower LLC and it was my pleasure to work with Alyssa. All staff were impeccably professional, articulate, communicative, warm and understanding which was so important during the potentially stressful period during which I got divorced. All information regarding the divorce was explained concisely and comprehensibly which was helpful because the divorce jargon could have been complicated. I especially appreciated the lack of risk. The staff take very good care of their clients in my experience. For example, attending an inspection for my protection. I felt very secure and confident that I would succeed and justifiably purely because the staff were impeccable. Alyssa, was a pleasure to work with. Sincere, available and comfortable. I spoke to several lawyers before finding Alyssa and I am so glad and grateful that I found Alyssa. This divorce process was stressless. The synergy amongst the staff is also commendable. I highly recommend Rower LLC because a divorce can be stressful, confusing and overwhelming but because of Alyssa and the staff at Rower LLC, it was not from the first communication.

Alyssa Rower's performance as my divorce attorney was superb. She fought hard and brought me much needed peace and confidence throughout the process along with an excellent result. I would use her again and again! (although I pray i don't have to). -Braden

I worked with Alyssa for more than 2 years on a divorce that was seemingly straight-forward, but was not (perhaps none of them are ever straight-forward). Her expertise was reassuring on any number of occasions, but it was also her heart and kindness that got me through the dark days. I work with a ton of litigators and lawyers as a profession and I will say, Alyssa is top-notch. Her staff is terrific and the care and thoughtfulness she puts into each client is clear. As hard as divorce is, I am glad to have had her by my side.

I hired Alyssa for a separation agreement. We were working under a tight deadline. Alyssa's dedication to getting the job done withing deadline was out of this world. From early mornings or late evenings conference calls to emails all week end long, Alyssa and Leslie were always available to me. Alyssa's experience is impressive and her suggestions on how to write the separation agreement and how to handle all the items in the agreement were always smart and on point. We got everything done within the deadline and I couldn't be happier. You won't regret working with her. In addition, back office at her firm is all on line (from signing retained to tracking billing) so it's very simple and time efficient.

I met with Alyssa Rower In the early stages of contemplating a divorce. She was attentive, kind and offered several suggestions while outlining a typical procedure that would likely ensue. I was struck by her forthright nature, honest and clear answers and advice. I met with several attorneys before choosing Ms. Rower to take my case but after meeting her, the decision was easy. It was a difficult divorce, somewhat acrimonious and the opposing council maintained a very defensive and adversarial front. Ms. Rower met this with a measured and highly ethical approach. Her attitude and methods were beyond reproach at all times. While no pushover, she dealt with difficult people and issues with courtesy and respect and above all, high moral standards. Ms. Rower understood every single aspect of the contentious divorce. Each detail was addressed and dealt with methodically and thoroughly and she represented my best interests at all times. She always made herself available to me. Her positive and forthright approach helped me avoid a court battle and within 9 months a satisfactory settlement was reached. Ms. Rower clearly cares about her clients and treated me as an individual rather than just another 'case'. I feel like the difference between a good divorce attorney and a great one, is one who understands the person and shows them compassion, while offering calm, prudent advice. Alyssa Rower is just such a person. She is kind, ethical and excellent at what she does. I am so very lucky that she took my case!

Hiring Alyssa was a terrific decision! Her work on my behalf and all of my interactions with her felt like a 'shining light of goodness" during a difficult process. She understood my values and priorities and helped me stay true to them throughout. I always felt that my long-term well-being was her ultimate goal and also her primary responsibility (I felt like my case was front and center in her mind at all times.) For me, this meant that as long as Alyssa was there as my advocate, I could let go of some of my worries. Alyssa is the consummate professional. She is a skilled lawyer who is knowledgeable, intelligent, and has great judgement. She is organized, efficient, direct, clear and responsive, the combination of which makes her extremely effective. In addition to all of that, Alyssa is always calm, warm, personable and empathetic. I recommend her without hesitation.
