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 would highly recommend Barbara McNamara to represent you in any and all family law matters. She is truly exceptional. Her knowledge of the law and how to make that work for the best end result, I believe is only part of what made my experience so rewarding.
Her compassion and the time she took to listen to my individual situation in order for me to prevail in a step by step plan for the best positive outcome coupled with her no-nonsense approach to getting things done!Thank you Barbara for fighting for me and my children in order for me to have a voice in Court and to come through it all with flying colors.

I retained Ms.McNamara less than 24 hours ago and in less than 12 hours, she has solved what has taken over 2 years of a very contentious litigious custody battle. My ex-wife is an attorney ( yes, I am that idiot). I was pro-per (self-represented), which I do not recommend as the OC Family Courts are a "good old boy system." It's not always what you know; it's who you are and know!
At a crossroads last night as being not only emotionally but financially and physically exhausted, a decision had to be made. I knew I could not continue to go up against

I was referred to Barbara McNamara from a close friend. Divorce is awful and scary. Especially when children are involved.
I have been a stay at home mother for 20 years and my ex husband is a high-level executive. Even though our divorce was not contentious, the finality of making a document that affects many years of my life was a daunting one.
I spoke with many attorneys, as my divorce had international implications. Many had no clue about some very important issues. Some tax issues as well. Without a doubt Barbara McNamara was knowledgeable and professional. I spoke with only Barbara from

Barbara is great to work with. She is an expert in Family Law & really understands our OC Court System and how to navigate it to get what she wants. She worked wonderfully with my Daughter and was extremely helpful with the child custody & alimony issues. I was most impressed with the compassion Barbara showed my Daughter during this very difficult process. Barbara made it easier and more tolerable to go through this horrible process. I would recommend Barbara. She does a wonderful job at communicating in a timely manner. Is available when needed. And, she's a good negotiator. Overall

Barbara was a referral from a friend... I was satisfied with her service and enjoyed working with her. Divorce is one of the most difficult things for a person to go through and I appreciated having an attorney who supported and reassured me throughout the process.
Barbara was prompt in responding to my emails and phone calls and her input was very helpful. My situation was very emotional and had a lot of different facets to it with regards to a home, several businesses, and financials. She was able to keep the situation calm and assist me with the necessary steps in the decision making process

Super disappointed, Barbara is either distracted or incompetent, either way, she never got up to speed in my case. She charges for everything and pays attention to nothing. Fortunately, I replaced her before she could do any damage to my case. I feel like she is more interested in her relationships with here peers (other attorneys) than she is in getting the best possible settlement for her clients.

Barbara and another family lawyer were recommended to me by a Family psychologist, after attempts to make my previous marriage work failed. I interviewed both lawyers and Barbara was my immediate choice.
She was outright clear, educated me about the process, timelines and cost. Since i was on a tight budget, she accomodated my request to make installments until the court dates kicked in. Loved that! She was quick, organized, sharp and always prepared. Although she was working on few other cases, whenever she was with me in court, she was always engaged and spot on. Very impressive!!!

Barbara's experience and expertise were invaluable in navigating the various aspects of my case. Opposing counsel was green and stubborn, taking things personally and not proposing counter-offers, yet Barbara was able to handle the situation deftly, and provide the guidance that ultimately led to a successful resolution. Beyond all that, she is a genuinely nice and caring person. I highly recommend her to anyone needing help in any family law situation.

Based on a referral, I contacted Mrs. McNamara In early 2017 to handle a case for me. After talking a big game, touting her qualifications, and collecting a large retainer, she didn't walk the walk.
Mrs. McNamara seemed distracted or disinterested in my case and filed time sensitive court documents late, or not at all. On several occasions, she showed up late for court appearances (leaving me to face the judge alone) and didn't bring needed documents with her. On one occasion, after her office failed to file a critical document, I questioned her level of dedication to my case. From
