Stephen J McNamara

I was referred to Stephen by a friend who had worked with him on her own divorce case, and she couldn’t say enough great things about him. From my very first conversation with Stephen, I understood why. I came into the process feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure of the best path forward. Ste...phen immediately put me at ease. He is incredibly compassionate and takes the time to truly listen—not just to the major points, but to all the nuanced details and edge cases that made my situation complex. Every concern I raised was thoughtfully addressed, and he consistently found clear, practical solutions. What stood out most was how clearly he explained my options at every stage. I never felt pushed in any direction—instead, I felt informed, supported, and fully in control of the decisions being made. Thanks to his guidance, my divorce was resolved amicably, with both parties satisfied with the final agreement. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Stephen is the kind of attorney who understands that every case is unique, and he meets that standard in every way. His professionalism is exceptional, and his responsiveness and willingness to make himself available when needed truly set him apart. I would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a divorce or complex family matter.

Mr. McNamara has been a wonderful attorney and resource while navigating the difficulties of divorce. He’s been attentive - taking the time to understand the nuances of the situation and asking questions. He’s been resourceful - knowing the answers to all my questions and setting realistic expectatio...ns. And perhaps most importantly, he’s been caring - prioritizing what I felt was important and ensuring he’d do all he could for my best interests. I would thoroughly recommend him as your attorney.

Steve is a level headed, smart and compassionate attorney. He took the time to explain the process and is efficient, detailed and responsive. He makes himself available when you need him and He has an understanding of divorce law as it pertains to complex cases. His calming demeanor helped me throu...gh some very tough decisions. I believe he is well respected by the judges in Bergen county and has a good understanding of how the courts work due to his time working at the courthouse, which goes a long way. I was lucky to have ended up with Steve overseeing my case with the support from the rest of the team at Sunshine Atkins Tafuri.
