I had three attorneys throughout my Divorce matter. Geanine was the only one that truly listened (not pretended to —like my prior counsel.) She demonstrated compassion, and didn't pile on any B.S. I got the honest truth, good or bad. She's transparent, and strives to do the right thing for you. I came out of my matrimonial matter with a very satisfactory outcome. I highly recommend if you seek counsel that is passionate for your cause.

Geanine and her team worked tirelessly on my case. They treated my daughter and me like family. She developed a successful “shock and awe” strategy to convince my very difficult ex to finally accept the recommendations of 3 law guardians and a forensic expert who recommended changes of custody repeatedly over 14 years.
Geanine successfully managed a transfer of the case up to Ulster County and she managed to control costs in spite of the 125-mile relocation and the need to overwhelm my ex with many witnesses including her own brother.
I whole heartedly recommend Geanine.

Geanine Towers was an absolute God send in my case. I found myself in desperate need of a lawyer after a family court referee erroneously dismissed my guardianship petition. The court referee was egotistical, condescending, and more concerned with shaming the child’s mother, my relative, rather than considering the child’s welfare. I am a soft spoken individual and entered the court room completely unprepared to argue such a clean-cut case when the child’s welfare was clearly at stake, the mother was consenting, and I offered a stable loving home with absolutely no criminal background.
I was in complete shock with the way the case unraveled, but my relatives still needed me so I began to search for an attorney that would be willing to help me get the decision over turned. Being from out of state, I resorted to calling/emailing numerous family law offices. A few responded to my calls/emails, but after I explained my situation none were willing to take on my case. I contacted the last 3 attorneys on my list via email and Mrs. Towers was one of them. Out of the last 3, she was the only one to respond on a Sunday and told me she’d be willing to research my case in order to see if the referee truly erred in her decision. In just a few days I heard back from Mrs. Towers telling me that I indeed had justifiable grounds to appeal and that she would be more than willing to help. She offered such compassion and empathy towards my family situation, and in the courtroom she proved to be a strong advocate. She struck the perfect balance with an extremely difficult referee, respectfully yet firmly letting her know how she erred in the law and she never backed down. We got the dismissal overturned, and Mrs. Towers was right by my side for 2 subsequent appearances and I was ultimately awarded guardianship. I will be forever grateful that she responded to my email and agreed to take on my case. I’ve never felt compelled to write a review before but I just had to in this case. If you’re looking for someone to fight for you the way they would for themselves she’s the one to call!

She is an excellent divorce lawyer that was always good to me. She was always level headed and considerate when making decisions revolving around my case and I want to thank her for that! Without her, I know I wouldn't have been able to get through this difficult process.

The moment I met with Ms. Towers I knew she was the person who will look at my case fairly and objectively. And she did! Ms. Towers cited case laws related to my specific case. Ms. Towers was proactive in relating issues to me, she was very responsive to my emails and calls. Ms. Towers was very sensitative to my concerns. She is a true professional and knows the law. And more importantly, you have a friend in her. She is a real person. I would highly recommend her with any and all legal matters.

Geanine represented me during my recent contested divorce proceedings. My ex husband filled an uncontested and no fault divorce, in which, I would decline any marital estate, after 13 years of marriage.
I was compelled to immediately sign the papers and grant him the divorce immediately. With all that I was going through, I did not want the stress of the complex legal process added to it. Besides, I was entirely unfamiliar with the law and divorce process of divorce laws. I imagined there was nothing I could financially gain by contesting it.
Fortunately, I had a moment of clarity when I decided to seek for some professional advice before simply signing the divorce papers I was served.
I did an internet research of divorce attorneys in my area. I selected five different attorneys and have consulted with each one of them.
In this process, I have learned I of my legal rights, and then decided I should claim what I am lawfully entitled of.
I chose Geanine because she explained each step with thoroughness and clarity. She made me feel like she could get a fair settlement, and she was right!
She not only advised me of my legal rights, what I could expect and realistically achieve, she also gave me guidance, support and everything I needed to know to protect myself legally.
Geanine has great empathy, care and ability to communicate all intricacies of a complicated legal case. When it came time to deal with the opposing counsel, she was courteous but very tough.
You can be certain that she will fight hard for your case.
Geanine exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. She made me feel like she really cared about what I was going through and made sure I got what was rightfully mine.
Money was a real concern for me, but her billings and fees were very fair and reasonable. She worked with me to accommodate me on my financial hardship.
I highly recommend Geanine and I am sure she will do an excellent job for you!
Thank you Geanine!

I was going through a tough divorce/child custody case and Geanine Towers was my 4 attorney. I felt the other attorneys wasn't listening to my concerns and wanted to do things that was best for me without my input. I wanted a knowledgeable attorney that first listened, then act accordingly. Ms. Towers did just that, she listened intently and jumped into action. I was very happy with the outcome, not only did I get my divorce but she made sure I was protected. She was terrific!
