Had hesitations on hiring a lawyer, yet when coming across Stephen… I was impressed and left that room more confident than ever. Amazing person who doesn’t beat around the bush. People I have spoken to about my case and reviewed the actions I had put forth was left speechless by what he has done for Myself. Allowing me to have the greatest chance in being the best father I can be. Thank you so much

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 expectations. 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 through 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.

Mr. McNamara is a consummate professional. He’s attentive to his clients needs, and handles those needs efficiently. But he’s also a human being who shows compassion for people who are in a bad period of their lives. I’m really glad Stephen was on my side when I really needed representation from a pro.

Stephen assisted in representing our case for over a year. He truly cared, was detailed and knew our case perfectly. I highly recommend his service.

I couldn't be happier with Stephen's recent representation. First, he listened and answered my questions, was prepared and thorough and fought for me when needed, perfectly. Family law is never pleasant, but Stephen made for a better experience, I highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend Stephen McNamara enough. When I came to him, I knew absolutely nothing about the process. He is the epitome of professionalism, always treating me and my spouse with respect and compassion during what was an emotionally challenging time. His responsiveness was impressive, consistently keeping me updated throughout the process, answering my questions promptly, and giving me peace of mind. His judgment and skill in navigating what was often a challenging, complex, and multi-dimensional case were truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of family law enabled him to provide invaluable guidance and advice that proved invaluable in resolving our case. But what sets him apart is his genuine concern for achieving the most beneficial outcome for all parties involved, particularly our children. He consistently put their needs first, ensuring their interests were protected every step of the way. Overall, I cannot recommend him enough. His professionalism, responsiveness, skill, and care for his clients set him apart from the rest. If you're looking for an attorney who will represent you with the utmost expertise and care, look no further than Stephen McNamara.

I would like to start off by saying how truly blessed I am to have found Stephen VIA a internet search. I am beyond thankful for all of his hard work and help throughout my child custody case. When I first met Stephen, he saw something in me that I did not see in myself at the time; that I would be happy again raising my son. There is not a day that goes by where I do not think of him and how much he helped my son and I. He holds a special place in mine and my families heart forever. I can only hope his reflections of me can be seen by others. I truly appreciate that he took the time to talk to me and really listen. I am extremely grateful for all of his help and bearing with me through everything! Stephen went above and beyond when working on my case. It is so nice to see that these days. I admire his composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. I have won my life back because of him despite the circumstances. I would recommend Stephen without reservation to anyone seeking the best and most professional representation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I came across this Law firm via Google and I am happy to have met Stephen. I was completely stressed out to the max and Just one conversation with Stephen and I felt at ease. The whole process with him was painless. Even when I would lose it and continued to be stressed out he would put me at ease. I worked for lawyers for quit a while and never met a lawyer who called back so fast. Any email any text or any phone call and Stephen would call back right away. That’s a very big deal for someone who’s going through a divorce and custody. I would highly recommend him. He’s professional yet to the point No hidden agendas. Thank you Stephen for everything I truly appreciate it !

As a client of Stephen J McNamara, my experience goes above and beyond satisfaction—completely relieved, happy as can be, and so incredibly grateful are much more accurate. I started by divorce case with zero understanding of the process. He was able to guide me through the whole process and he took his time with every detail of my situation and worked patiently until the best possible resolution was achieved. The level of professionalism and service was absolutely amazing. Could not recommend highly enough !!!

I have been in a long drawn out custody battle for over 9 years and have utilized the services of several attorneys from different firms. I have Never recieved the quality of care, compassion, and just all around support and guidance until I hired Mr. McNamara. I have spent almost 200 thousand dollars due to attorneys claiming to read my file and charging me for it and then still not being able to represent me efficiently or effectively. I think most of "us", who are in positions where we are out of our element, out of our patients, scared for the fight of our children, and patiently and consistently seeking justice are in hopes that we can walk in to a lawyers "one hour consultation" and feel like all our stress will be relieved. Well for once in years of an epic drawn out battle for truth. Stephen ( Mr. McNamara) gave me just that.. I have reduced and halted the monthly cost of attorneys fees month after month by having ridiculous court appearances and handling frivolous motions. I have recieved constant guidance and updates in my case, I have had thurough review of my files and at an agreeable rate and time allowance. All very well worth it! I have kept custody of my children! I have given the other party a compromising and agreeable holiday schedule that works and more importantly... the integrety of My Children's Well Being and BEST INTERESTS has been kept and met. Any one who is battling in family court knows the term and the power of it. Bottom line.. if your looking for a personal touch that other firms and attorneys are either unable or unwilling to give. Consider Mr.McNamara, because of him my family stays in tact. I thank you sir for your persistance in fighting for justice. You will be our first call any and every time, and we will follow you to any firm you represent. Thank you

Stephen was introduced to me at a time when I didn't even know what to do to fix my situation. He helped clarify everything about the process and what to expect. All throughout, he and several members of thr team remained consistently in contact keeping me briefed on every step. While in process I recommended him to another friend and would definitely do so in the future.
