Excellent counselor and litigator with both street smarts and book smarts.

KevinMcNamara is an excellent attorney that I've relied upon for several years for counsel on real estate, family law and general legal issues. Kevin's advice is always sharp, well-informed, and extremely practical and grounded in the real world. In litigation, Kevin is a skilled, agile and determi...ned fighter. I'm glad he's on my side.

Highly Recommended Lawyer

Kevin Mcnamara handled a custody dispute for me. He was amazingly attentive to my feelings and needs as a client and made the process incredibly smooth and easy for me. Kevin was always easy to reach, was open and realistic in everything I could expect and best of all achieved the outcome I desired. ...I would highly recommend his services and wish every lawyer conducted themselves in this manner.

An Excellent Attorney Highly Recommend

Kevin handled my recent divorce, and some additional new house title/ purchase work for me. He handled everything with finesse, kept me informed, and guided me through a serious legal process....best of all, there were no "surprises" on the legal fees and everything went as discussed, unlike my w...ife's attorney who was a loose cannon, filing motions that were innapropriate and unecessary, and not in accordance with my wife's wishes - with unexpected fees to match!
