- ★★★★★If you want to win your case, its simple. You need Keyla Robertson in your corner.
Melissa · family law ·
Keyla Robertson was my lawyer from Nov 2019 to Sept 2020. From our first encounter all the way up to our very last encounter, she dug in deep to fight for the reunification of my family. I was told by other lawyers I was fighting a losing battle, but Keyla fought like this was her own family and my c ase got COMPLETELY DISMISSED.. As approachable as she made herself to my family, at any moment we needed her, was beyond comforting. Not once did we ever feel alone in this scary situation. She even has a client portal to have private conversations or send and receive documents on. What I liked most about Keyla was that she didn't sugar coat anything that could happen in my case. She gave me worst case scenario along with the best case scenarios. I am forever grateful for the peace Keyla has restored in our family. If you can believe it Keyla was actually a court appointed attorney in my case, but she never once made me feel second to any other client she had. Its obvious she is passionate to help each and everyone of her clients equally. If you are searching for a lawyer that will hear everyone of your concerns and take the time to explain EVERYTHING to you, so your case and yourself a favor and go for her.

When one needs to utilize the services of an attorney, it usually is not a positive scenario. The legal process can be extremely stressful, time-consuming and emotionally draining. Keyla Robertson, however, takes the apprehension out of the picture. From the first consultation, she demonstrates the m ost sincere and genuine approach when discussing delicate details of the situation. She makes you feel comfortable and safe in divulging private information that is necessary for the case. Her zeal and passion for justice and equity is unwavering throughout the entire process. It is refreshing to work with an attorney who makes you feel more like a partner rather than a stranger just going through a hard time. She gives honest and thorough explanations as events unfold, and she promptly returns messages and phone calls. Keyla's dedication, integrity, diligence, and humor ease the stress and uncertainty of daunting legal matters. I have collaborated with Keyla Marie Martinez Robertson on many cases and have full confidence in her work. I refer my friends and family to her.
- ★★★★★Keyla is great!

Keyla is very personable and transparent. One of her greatest qualities is how thorough she is. I’m also highly impressed with how resourceful and determined she can be. Even during a pandemic she has put our little family as a priority which is not only extremely kind, but also brave. She’s professi onal, efficient, and mostly... trustworthy. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Keyla for helping to make our family whole. Thank you for guiding us, educating us, and protecting us.

When I got a knock on the door from DFPS I felt scarred alone with no hope and when they took my daughter I felt lost and afraid that I wouldn’t get her back. Fortunately for me I had Keyla on my side who reached out to me when I knew nothing about how and what to do to get my daughter back. She was firm understanding caring and helped me see hope when I thought I had lost it. She got me my daughter back in 9 months and encouraged me the whole time to do everything and then more than what DFPS was asking of me. After getting my daughter back with me in my home with her help my case was dismissed 6 months later. I recommend her to anyone facing a dispute against DFPS.

Although I only consulted with Ms. Washington regarding a family law case which I was brought into by another party and not directly involved with, I can't say enough about how impressed I am with her level of knowledge and her professionalism. Ms. Washington was very helpful and had great insight.
- ★★★★★Your Advocate and Friend

Kimberly was like my best friend during my divorce. She was there for me every step of the way and was my advocate. I can't recommend her enough.

I have known Kimberly Washington for many years, her ethics and drive for fighting for her clients is immeasurable. She is the kind of lawyer that I would send my family and friends to, when you have a tough situation. She will not tell you what you want to hear rather what you need to hear in orde r for her to prepare and represent you in your case. This part is imperative for clients to help them make the right decisions which could potentially effect what happens in the case. She is the kind of person that makes you want to strive to do better than today. She is remarkable in and out of the courtroom, she is someone I will always want on my side. I recommend Kimberly Washington to anyone that wants to get the job done.
- ★★★★★Over Charged!
Paul · litigation ·
To begin, I feel I was misled during consultation. I was told that my case was not complicated and could probably be settled over the phone. My case was drug out for 9 months at $300 an hour for my attorney plus the cost of his paralegal and assistant. In my opinion my attorney was not adequately prepared at mediation where opposing council was prepared. They had done their homework and ran circles around us. One thing this law firm was good at was charging for everything and anything they could think of without supplying sufficient explanation to what I was being charged for. My 9 month long experience at McNamara Law cost me $17,000 in legal fees and we ended up settling for 33,000 more than expected. Again, because we were not prepared and opposing counsel was. Another thing they do well at this law firm is collect your money. When your $5000 retainer is at the half way mark their pit bull accountant is quick to remind you payment is do. She is not a friendly person nor a pleasure to deal with. Lastly, my emails asking questions about my case were not always answered. These were important questions to me at the time and they were neglected. At $300 an hour I expect my emails to be answered. In summary, I would not recommend McNamara Law Office.
- ★★★★★My case was insane, probably just too much for this small firm.

I put a lot of thought into this and there are ZERO hard feelings here. It's been months since the decree was signed, so this is not written in haste or emotion. It is to hopefully help another parent out there in a similar situation to choose better than I did. My rating is reflective of my very particular highly contentious divorce with a very difficult person that I did not initiate, so defensive position with a super unreasonable person kicking off the whole mess. Long story short: I like Brian and his office as people but if you are a dad who has been ambushed with a totally unnecessary divorce by a totally uncompromising narcissist hell bent on destroying you or at least fleecing you with zero regard for the children except to use them as leverage don't hire these guys. To Brian's credit I was told a custody case without any real obvious disqualifiers was going to be like 50-75 THOUSAND dollars. And me, knowing nothing about any of this willing to do anything for my children said stay the course. So, that's on me but really my issue isn't with the cost. I'd give anything for my children, the issue I had is that the value didn't really match up with the cost. I want to be clear about this, I like Brian and I think he's a good honest guy but I think there are some inefficiencies that may make messier cases a challenge. He's a very skilled negotiator but when faced with a shark on the other side with a completely unreasonable person … you're gonna pay a lot to have a hard time. If you have a deal to work out or a contract to write brian can totally do that but if you need someone to be in your corner fighting tooth and nail to protect you and your children I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. One key moment in one mediation I was informed something that was very harmful to my plan when they had the data for a year before that. You'd think after tens of thousands of dollars people would know your case in and out and review all the stuff you send… but it didn't happen. I will put it this way. After tens of thousands of dollars, my keeping impeccable notes, giving them tons of data by the time trial date rolled around I had lost so much faith in Brian's willingness to go to the mat for me that I settled out of court. I know its one of those "any given sunday" kind of deals because judges basically ultimately go with their opinions as they interpret the law but that's why faith in your attorney is so important. If you want a shark, if you need someone who will cut no corners in the pursuit of exactly what you need and lose sleep over it because your family has been fed into the psychological-wood-chipper that is the divorce industry i strongly urge you to look elsewhere.
