About
I have over eleven years of litigation experience wherein I represent litigants in matrimonial and family law matters, including divorce; custody/visitation; equitable distribution; child and spousal support; and orders of protection. I have litigated at trial issues involving equitable distribution; maintenance; and custody/visitation. In addition, I have drafted and argued various motions for interim relief and negotiated global settlement agreements on behalf of my clients.I am a zealous advocate who recognizes the emotional and financial strain of litigation and endeavors to obtain a full and equitable outcome for my clients at all times.

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.
Kara Bellew is a phenomenal lawyer. She is smart, savvy, and tough, and she helped me to walk away from a terrible marriage as intact as possible. She helped give me the strength to negotiate for what I deserved while also helping me to keep my sanity through a very difficult process. I appreciated that she followed my lead in terms of how aggressive I wanted to be, and I always felt that she was doing everything in her power to wrap up my case as efficiently as possible. Just as important to me, she is also kind, funny and caring, which is helpful when you are going through something as awful as a divorce. My only regret is that I didn't meet Kara sooner in the process. Unfortunately, I had already negotiated a pretty awful custody agreement with another lawyer by the time I met her. But she was even able to undo some of that damage, for which I am eternally grateful. I have nothing but positive things to say about Kara and her entire firm. Everyone I interacted with was wonderful.
Kara Bellew represented me in a relocation case and I can't say enough great things about her. From the first time she and I spoke, which was during our phone consultation, she struck me as someone who was extremely SHARP and CONFIDENT. She knew exactly how to preceed with my case almost instantly. Mrs. Bellew always kept me updated on my case, she was/is extremely detailed and thorough, with everything she does. Mrs. Bellew is smart, strategic and always planned ahead. There was never a time, where I felt like I didn't know what was going on with my case. From my experience, she went above and beyond and fought my case with all she had. Going through this process was very challenging for myself, but Mrs. Bellew always seemed to empathize and was never judgemental. She treats you as a human being first, then a client. In my particular case, this made all the difference in the world. Mrs. Bellew always responded to calls or emails in a very timely manner. She literally worked around the clock on my case. Mrs. Bellew came highly recomended and I absolutely see why. She is truly a great attorney, who I had the pleasure of representing me. I would recommend Kara Bellew to anyone needing representation in Family Law matters, she will fight for you and your family.
I had the pleasure of working with Kara who assisted me through a very difficult process. Under the best of circumstances, a divorce is not easy. It requires a clear understanding of all the legal components at a time when one has to deal with many emotional issues. Kara offered me the perfect combination of competence and compassion. She was extremely professional in all aspects of the process, offering me the information I needed to help guide me through the process, enabling me to prepare for all the various components I had to deal with. She was attentive to my calls, answered all of my questions, helped me anticipate and prepare as I moved through the divorce. She was a strong advocate for my needs and rights as well as those of my children. In addition to her thorough and knowledgeable handling of all the aspects of the process, she was extremely sensitive to the emotional factors associated with this difficult and trying time in my life. She was very centering and genuine in her concern and support. I strongly recommend her as an attorney and am very grateful to her and her service to me.
Ms. Bellew is a great attorney -- thoughtful, smart, and strategic. I have sought her advice and counsel many times over the years on my own cases, in addition to having sent many referrals to her. She is a pleasure to work with and talk to, and it is obvious that she really cares about her clients. I give her my highest recommendation.
