About Mr. Timothy J
Mr. Timothy J McNamara has spent more than a decade handling bankruptcy matters in Massachusetts. He came to prominence in local practice circles after becoming a partner at McNamara & Yates, P.C. in 2011. That partnership set the stage for the next step in his career: in 2014 he became owner of Massachusetts & Cape Cod Bankruptcy Lawyers, a practice that underscored his ties to the region.
McNamara’s path is steady and practical. He built a practice that addresses personal and business bankruptcy issues, guiding clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 procedures and related court proceedings. He operates primarily in Massachusetts, and Cape Cod has long been a consistent part of his geographic base. His work combines courtroom appearances with client counseling and case management.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prioritizes clear explanations for clients who are often facing complicated financial decisions. He has worked on matters that require negotiating with creditors, preparing petitions, and navigating the bankruptcy process from start to discharge. He keeps day-to-day files on track and is frequently engaged in hearings and motions practice when disputes arise.
At McNamara & Yates, P.C., he joined a collaborative environment in 2011 and later added the role of owner for a Cape Cod–focused practice in 2014. Those moves reflect a career that balances firm leadership with hands-on client work. He handles case intake, supervises legal strategy, and coordinates with trustees and opposing counsel when needed. The combination of partnership and ownership roles suggests a lawyer familiar with both the business of running a practice and the demands of active litigation.
Outside the courtroom he has maintained a local presence, meeting clients in office settings and in the communities he serves. He has focused his time on keeping clients informed about procedural requirements and timelines. His approach favors practical steps that move bankruptcy cases forward and resolve immediate creditor pressures.
As of 2026 he continues to practice in Massachusetts and Cape Cod, handling bankruptcy matters through McNamara & Yates, P.C., and the Massachusetts & Cape Cod Bankruptcy Lawyers practice. He currently practices bankruptcy law at McNamara & Yates, P.C., handling matters in Massachusetts and on Cape Cod.
