Our Approach

At The Law Office of Barbara E. McNamara, I limit the number of clients I work for at a given time, to allow me the opportunity to focus on solving the unique problems presented by your case. I try to forge settlement agreements, rather than spending countless hours and thousands of dollars in litigation, whenever possible. I work with you every step of the way to make sure that you understand the choices you are making and feel empowered to make them. The average retainer required to start a divorce case is $5,500, plus court costs. The amount of time spent and litigation involved will dictate the ultimate cost for your case.
