Yesenia Rivera-Sipes is a highly regarded attorney focusing on matrimonial law. A 1997 graduate of Ithaca College's Park School of Communications with a degree in Journalism, she further pursued her legal studies at The George Washington University School of Law, graduating in 2001. Ms. Rivera-Sipes initially gained experience on Capitol Hill for one year before undertaking a clerkship at the Essex County Family Court in New Jersey. Following her clerkship, she dedicated three years to advocating for children as a staff attorney at Lawyers For Children, a non-profit legal organization in New York City. Since 2007, Ms. Rivera-Sipes has concentrated her practice on matrimonial law and, after honing her skills at several prestigious firms in Manhattan, founded her own practice in 2014. Known for her adept negotiation capabilities, she frequently secures settlements for her clients, while also possessing the tenacity to pursue litigation when needed, demonstrating her commitment to advocating fiercely on behalf of her clients.

I have practiced almost exclusively family law for more than a decade.  In doing so, I have successfully guided clients through all aspects of family law including negotiating prenuptial agreements, custody and support proceedings, divorce, and the resolution of post-divorce matters.  I recognize that family issues which lead clients to Family Court and/or Supreme Court are often life changing.  As such, my practice of law is zealous but always cognizant of the practical and emotional implications of settlement negotiations and litigation.  I am also equipped to handle related matters that often arise in the wake of family law proceedings including real estate, simple probate and administration proceedings, wills, powers of attorney, and health care proxies.  I regularly represent clients in both Supreme and Family Courts in Westchester and surrounding counties.

As a general rule, most people loathe lawyers not because they believe that lawyers are bad people per se, but because generally the only time a person deals with an attorney is when things are going wrong and they associate that feeling with their interaction with attorneys.  My goal as an attorney is to change that perspective with my clients.  I know that the needs of every client is the most important thing to them and I believe the best way to deal with each client is to treat everyone that walks through my door with the compassion, time, and respect they deserve.
