In my search for the best possible divorce attorney, (particularly in Staten Island), multiple trusted friends suggested that I give Adelola a call. And I could not be more grateful. She was both an outstanding divorce attorney and had an extensive knowledge of the entire experience, judges, other lawyers, and helped me go through this with self-assurance and optimism. Adelola and her staff (also excellent), made the process easy and successful on both sides, fit into my schedule, and even gave me advice on a Sunday when she was off. I never quite got the hang of what to call her; Adelola, Ade, Dow, Ms. Dow!?!?!?! But there's only room for improvement! lol. You should believe me when I say that Adelola and her staff are the only options for a divorce, you should just believe me. I have suggested two of my friends who feel the same way.4.

I had the experience of working with Dow Divorce Law on a complex and high-stakes appellate matter (custody) that our office was handling at the trial court level, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the beginning, it was apparent that attorneys Adelola Dow and Loui-Ann MacKnight commanded the record, law, and appellate court procedures. Their legal analysis was precise, complete, and strategic. They were always prepared, well-informed, and thoughtful in approaching every appellate issue. Their availability and collaborative approach impressed me. I had numerous discussions with Ms. Dow, and she always talked about strategy, answered questions, and helped me navigate difficult legal issues. It was a great working relationship between trial and appellate counsel. Ms. Dow's strength and confidence as an advocate impressed me most. She was tough, unwavering, and not afraid of a challenging case. She did not shy away from hard arguments and articulated points with confidence, conviction, and wisdom. The result was extremely favorable for our client, and it was also historically significant [See Sandiaes v. Sandiaes, 239 A.D.3d 1011 (2d Dep't 2025)]. The outcome propelled and established meaningful precedent, grasping Ms. Dow's skill, tenacity, and exceptional appellate advocacy. Any trial attorney would be lucky to work with Ms. Dow and her team. They are excellent professionals and outstanding advocates.10.

From the moment I was blindsided and faced with this difficult situation, Dow Divorce Law stood by me. My first interaction was with Caroline, who was not only compassionate but took immediate steps to set up a strategy session. That initial session was invaluable, far more thorough than a standard consultation. It helped me understand the process clearly and gave me the space to ask detailed questions. My attorney, Ms. MacKnight was steady, honest, and highly strategic throughout. She offered level headed guidance and never made promises she couldn’t keep. What stood out the most was how often she went above and beyond, especially in dealing with the other attorney’s last-minute and questionable tactics. Despite repeated delays and pressure from the other side, she kept the focus on securing a fair outcome and protecting my interests. I can’t thank them enough for helping me through this difficult time. They brought clarity, strength, and compassion when I needed it. Highly recommend.12.
