The law does not require that each spouse have a lawyer in a divorce, but it permits a lawyer to represent only one person. If the husband or wife has an attorney, the other may represent himself or herself. It is not uncommon for one spouse to choose not to employ an attorney and for both to meet with Mr.McNamara together. In such situations, he encourages the unrepresented person to have the proposed final documents reviewed by an independent lawyer. He speaks honestly and frankly with each person and makes sure that all understand the law and the options available. He also makes sure that everyone understands that he may only represent one spouse. If the parties are seeking an open and honest discussion with guidance and input by an experienced lawyer, Mr. McNamara provides that. When it’s time for tough negotiation, he is a firm advocate for his client.
