About
I believe in direct communication and cooperation between the lawyer and client. A lawyer can’t be helpful if he or she talks at you or around you. So I'll ask lots of questions, I'll really listen to your answers, I’ll give you straight answers to your questions, and, together, we will craft an approach that gives us the best chance at achieving your goals. At every step in the process, we’ll watch for opportunities to settle issues. Bear in mind, however, that well prepared litigation is sometimes needed to create the environment for settlement. Ms. McQuade is experienced, knowledgeable, respected and has practiced exclusively in the family law field for almost 30 years. She has been chosen for inclusion in ‘Best Lawyers in America” every year since 2009, in SuperLawyers Magazine every year since 2008, in Washingtonian Magazine’s “Top Divorce Lawyers” since 2004, and in Martindale-Hubbell’s “Preeminent Lawyers” since 1997 (through Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system, she has consistently been given top scores in both ethics and competence in her area of practice.)

Reviews
I have been associated with Ms. McQuade for over 6 years. Ms. McQuade first assisted with my divorce, and then later with action to stop paying support. I would best describe Ms. McQuade as a professional, attention to detail oriented person and knowledgeable of the law and legal process. I would also describe Ms. McQuade as an attorney who is honest, speaks from experience and with candor. Ms. McQuade and the associates in her office are professional, compassionate and thorough. Throughout the years, they have kept me informed on all developments and answered my questions thoroughly and promptly. There are a lot of law firms to choose from, and you have to pick a law firm that fits you. But if you are looking for a firm that demonstrates professionalism, honesty and compassion, I would recommend McQuade Byrum PLLC.
II retained Martha after my ex-wife put a restraining order against me, and than filed for a divorce. My case was difficult as I was not able to obtain any needed documents as they were very old and only copy we had were in the home, and I did not had access to my home to retrieve them. Martha helped me in preparing all documents needed in a court. She is very professional, and her knowledge of the law and legal process was instrumental in obtaining my rightful share in marital settlement agreement and getting a divorce.
Ms. McQuade walked me through my separation and divorce this past year. She was very professional and exposed where the competing counsel was making critical errors. Her knowledge of the laws and process was evident and you can be confident in trusting her to help you make the correct decisions in such an emotionally taxing period.
