Knowledgable, inventive, and fast business lawyer.

Robert helped me set up my LLC, create contracts, and navigate the Massachusetts legal system. He communicates quickly and knows his stuff. But aside from just delivering great legal services, he also provided crucial business advice. If you are looking for a business attorney, I highly recommend The... Law Office Of Robert J McGovern

Knowledgeable and Professional Service

Robert helped me to manage leasing and review best practices for a seasonal rental property. He also helped to consult on estate planning as I realized it was time to get a better understanding of what is necessary given some forthcoming life changes. I really appreciated his friendly and professiona...l service and would highly recommend.

The law is hard for a layperson to understand

I worked with Mr. McGovern when my wife and I were about to purchase a home. Our condominium association has old and outdated bylaws with legal language that is difficult to read, and we felt that they could cause us problems were we to try to conduct a renovation project. Mr. McGovern was able to tr...anslate these documents in a way that gave us a better understanding of our rights as homeowners, and allowed us to proceed with confidence in our desired improvements. We very much felt that he was on our side throughout the entire process, and his easygoing manner set my wife and I at ease. I would recommend Mr. McGovern for any task in the legal sphere, due to his expertise at making the law easier for the average homeowner or business-owner to understand.
