Timothy McNamara

Personally hired this lawyer to draft estate planning instruments. While Mr. McNamara seemed personable and knowledgeable at our initial meeting, our actual experience was unfortunately quite different. We later learned that many of the instruments he drafted did not adequately protect our interest...s. When meeting with him a few years after the initial drafting of the documents, he asked why did you do this, why didn’t you do that. Well that was clearly our question to him, he’s the lawyer. He was non responsive on several occasions and quite curt in some of our in-person meetings. He was a disappointment and clearly did not know the details of the law that were vital to the legal services we hired and paid him for. This review is in no way any sort of retaliation, it truthfully depicts our real life experience with Mr. McNamara. Others who are reviewing their choices for a lawyer for themselves or their elder family member(s) should be aware of this kind of information, which will better prepare them to make the best informed decision when selecting the right attorney for them and/or their family.

I am a small business owner in the Cape Cod area. Tim Macnamara set up my LLC Corporation for me. He was very informative and accurate with his information, making me aware of the different options that I had for my business. After going through the details with me and deciding which was best for my... needs, he very promptly handled all of the paperwork with the state and provided me with copies of all necessary documents. It all seemed like such a huge hassle to me at first but Tim took care of things with the greatest of ease. He has then contacted me and taken care of all things needed when ever it was necessary. He was very nice and personable and I would recommend him to anyone who needed the same.

Mr. McNamara was hired by me, as executrix of my mother's estate, in June of last year. He has done an excellent job so far. I just wanted to comment on a negative review I read on this website about him. I think it was written by one of my family members who, unfortunately for Mr. MacNamara has been... taking her frustration and anger towards her siblings out on him! These comments are untrue! He is a very kind compassionate man who has been very patient with us, even in dealing with the financial difficulties of the estate. I am so grateful to him for all he's done for us!

My family and I met with Tim shortly after my mother passed away, in order to look over her will, discuss the probate process, and determine how to respond to debtors interested in her estate. Tim was compassionate about our loss and calmly and confidently walked us through our options, answering ev...ery question we had, however random. He put us at ease and helped us through what could have been a chaotic process with kindness and finesse. He's truly one of the good guys, and he backs that up with solid knowledge of the law and consistent follow-up. Highly recommended.

Attorney Timothy McNamara is a cordial professional that was extremely sensitive to my Father, 89 years old, and my Mother, 85 years old, situation when my father was admitted to a nursing home. My parents had not done any estate planning. I live in Maryland and was not sure how I could help so I ta...lked with my Lawyer here in Maryland and his recommendation was to find a Massachusetts Lawyer who's expertise is in Estate Planning and Medicaid Application Processing. After viewing Attorney McNamara's Website I called him on the phone and discussed my parents situation for about 90 minutes. The following Monday morning my two brothers and I met with Tim in his Sandwich Office. The three of us agreed that Attorney Tim McNamara had the expertise in both Mass Health Application Processing and Estate Planning for our Elder parents. Tim kept all of us informed every step of the way by email, phone calls, office visits when we were in town and even stopped by my mother's home to get documents signed---great customer service, especially for the elderely like my mother. The up front one time fee got our attention but relieved us of any anxiety of future expenses as our situation took several months to complete. My parents estate planning is complete and my father's Mass Health / Medicaid application was approved. I consider Attorney McNamara a trustworthy professional your Family can rely on as we did and very reasonable with his fee. I highly recommend Tim and plan to utilize him in the future. Thank-you for a Great Job Tim.
