I have practiced family law in Kingwood since 1992. Before that I clerked for Bivin & Brennan in Kingwood as a law student. About 5 years after being licensed as an attorney Bill Bivin & I formed Bivin & McNamara. In 2007 I opened McNamara Law Office.
I have 3 children who all attended Kingwood schools and a 4th who will soon. Her mother, Cathy, and I make our home in Kingwood and love the neighborhood. I spent many days coaching soccer teams as my other 3 children grew, and I look forward to doing that again.
Throughout my career, most of my cases have been in Harris and Montgomery counties. I have had cases in surrounding counties and even as far north as Greg County, TX.
I look forward to helping you with your family law problems.

One of the best.
The firm was hired to help me with a child support dispute. He was a strong lawyer that stood up for me. His staff are amazing and always quick to respond. I’ve used other family law lawyers before but will always use Mr. McNamamara from now on!

Awesome family attorney
As a lawyer in this great State of Texas, ALL of my family law referrals are sent to Mr. McNamara. He is beyond competent in this area...dare I say an expert. He is salient and to the point with his counsel and representation thus saving his client's time and money. Well worth a consult and retent...
Thanks very much! You don't identify yourself so I won't but I appreciate this very much.

Do not hire.
I can only beg everyone to not hire this law firm, especially Brian McNamara himself. I am a father of two little girls that are safe and sound against all odds even after fighting a mother in Texas because of my decision to fire Brian 4 weeks after hiring him. Like 95% of attorneys out there, the h...

"Brian is an excellent family law attorney. He knows the law, effectively argues to the court, and he gets results. I trust Brian and do not hesitate to refer a client to him in need of a great family law attorney."
"I had the privilege of beginning my family law career under Brian McNamara, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he taught me. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and sharp, with a deep understanding of the law and how to apply it strategically. To this day, I continue to value his insights, especially when it comes to complex legal issues."
"I endorse Mr. McNamara. He diligently advocated for his client in a recent divorce case on which I was opposing counsel. He is professional and courteous to everyone, including the non-attorney staff in our office (which as a former paralegal, I always appreciate). Mr. McNamara communicates effectively, knows and understands the complex legal issues that come with dividing community property, and it is obvious that he cares about his clients as individuals."
"I endorse this lawyer. Competent, compassionate and creative, three things every client seeks in a legal counsel."
"I've known Brian for 27 years. We went to law school together. I'm proud to call Brian a colleague and a friend. When my clients need a family law expert, Brian is the first person I call, because I know he will take excellent care of the client. He has my unreserved endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is excellent. He has a passion for assisting clients in this area of law. I highly recommend Mr. McNamara."
"I endorse Mr. Mcnamara. He is a truly asset to our legal community. Very helpful on AVVO and a great expert in the field."
