Julie McNamara

Family Law Director & Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a Director in the Family Department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors and have been with the company for 6 years as a solicitor. I am based in the Birmingham office, and I also attend to clients across the West Midlands including Wolverhampton. My primary areas of expertise are divorce, private children matters and domestic abuse. I have a wealth of experience in divorce and civil partnership dissolution and also in financial disputes that can arise from divorce or dissolution including high net worth financial and property matters. I prepare both pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and I also have experience in representing clients after a co-habitual relationship has broken down. I am a member of Resolution which is a Family Law Association for solicitors committed to resolving family matters fairly and amicably. I favour Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a means of communication between a separating family. This allows the family to avoid court proceedings and the subsequent fees but still receive relevant compensation. I am also very experienced and equally as comfortable dealing with matters in court. I am ranked in the Legal 500 2023 for my work across the West Midlands. I am an accredited specialist in international child abduction and domestic abuse, with Resolution. I am a fully trained Mediator which helps me to resolve disputes between families and partners on a more amicable basis.

Life changed positive with Duncan

Thanks to Julie and Rabia for the extending support. I came to you under legal aid with reference from Indian ladies in uk poonam joshi where i was totally confused, desperate, distressed unable to make decisions and understand legality under extreme pressure. Have you not been here for me, i would have given up my fight and lost my sons custody. Rabia, you have extreme patience to explain me in detail and win my cause. Your words have become true...my son now values me more than earlier...have you done my finances, it would have been much more better...
