Our firm consists of several teams of highly qualified attorneys, each of which focuses its efforts on a specific area of practice, including:

Residential Real Estate

While homes are bought and sold every day throughout the Fairfield County and Metro New York area, each transaction is a complex undertaking that requires many weeks or months of work by both the buyer and seller.

The skilled team at Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC works on behalf of buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, lenders, developers, and other parties in all types of commercial real estate matters.

Our experienced lawyers will work on your family's behalf to help you recover the full damages permitted by law so that you can start to heal and move forward with your life.

If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI in any type of accident, the attorneys at Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC can help you explore your options for pursuing compensation. Damages might be available to cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other long-term considerations.
