Mr. McNamara’s work philosophy is to limit the number of cases he handles at any given time so he can dedicate the time necessary to fully educate each client on the legal process and ensure that the client understands his or her own claim completely. That way, the client understands exactly what will happen next and why, making the entire process less stressful because the client is fully informed. When Mr. McNamara accepts a case, he is dedicated to devoting the time and resources required to win it.
