About Us

We combine the talents and expertise of each person in our firm to develop effective case strategies for each client.  Our emphasis is on uncompromising attention to the experience of our clients as they move through often difficult family and relationship conflicts. Teamwork and collaboration is our operating model.  And when conflict is inevitable, we stand ready to apply the full force of the law on our client’s behalf. We are committed to serving as a positive and motivating influence in our clients’ lives.

We are sensitive to the depth and range of emotions inherent in the issues our clients bring us.  Divorce proceedings and custody disputes are very personal.  We understand that our client’s situation is private, and we give each client our respect, compassion and confidentiality.

The initial consultation you have with an attorney is important. You want to make sure your attorney understands your situation and is the right person to represent you.  In your initial consultation with Richel Rivers or Mary Evelyn McNamara, we will ask you to provide us some basic information about you, and we will hear your concerns and questions.  We’ll outline what we see as your options, talk about possible outcomes and risks, and explain our retainer and fee requirements.  We will charge you a small fee for the initial consultation, payable at the time you come in.  To set up an initial consultation, please call us at (512) 439-7000.
