Eight years ago, my family contracted with Teddy McNamara to amend my father's trust upon his death. Teddy's work back then assured that we returned to him eight years later when my Mom passed away. Teddy was attentive and very responsive in dealing with the administration of my Mom's trust/estate, which involved long-distance tasks/signing papers. In addition, Teddy was very available at all times (particularly on weekends and after hours), and was personable. We shared travel information, which was a welcome diversion from all of the tasks at hand! We greatly appreciated this aspect. Administration of my Mom's estate was timely and quick, which is how I wanted it to be. The only recommendation I would make is that documents be reviewed a bit more thoroughly before going to the client, i.e. spelling and correct names. A quick re-check before sending documents out would probably suffice.

Teddy is not only an excellent lawyer, he is genuinely one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is a hard worker and takes great pride in running an honest business. He single-handedly turned around the most difficult time of my life and I now consider him a trusted friend. Since then, he has referred me to a number of other business professionals, all of whom exhibit his same work ethic and personal touch.

Very PERSONABLE! Teddy thoroughly answered all our questions and was quick to respond to emails or phone calls. His complete answers made us feel confident in our decisions. Follow up contacts did not require additional fees. Teddy quickly reviewed and advised us on any extra forms we needed. We highly recommend his service.

Teddy is not just a trust attorney; he is there for you as a resource for any type of attorney needed. In addition, he seems as though he cares, not just someone who is doing their job. Thanks, Teddy!

Mr. McNamara has been very accessible. He is very knowledgeable, communicates well with us in non-legalese discussions, and makes adequate time to discuss our issues and legal documents. The only suggestion I would make is to encourage him to get his work back to us a little quicker.

I was referred to Mr. McNamara by a friend whose opinion I trusted. I wasn't disappointed. Mr. McNamara was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough in his handling of my situation, and was responsive to phone calls and emails. He has helped me immensely. In fact, I tell people that he changed my life. I'm glad he's in my corner!

We knew we needed a trust, but we delayed because it's neither inexpensive nor a very fun thing to do. Once we committed to it, Teddy was the perfect choice. No high pressure, just honest advice. He was efficient, kind, timely and a pleasure to work with. Now that it's done, we sleep more easily knowing our affairs are in order in the event something unexpected happens. We like him so much we trusted him to refer us to another attorney for an unrelated legal matter. When his first suggestion didn't pan out, he quickly gave us another lead that has been a big help. Teddy is the best!
