Great Attorney!

We hired Mr. McGovern for our real estate purchase. This was a complicated transaction seeing that the seller wasn’t available. Mr. M was very knowledgeable and professional and he made a complicated process very easy. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone who looking for a r...eal estate attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Tom did an excellent job overall representing myself in selling my home. He broke down all the lawyer jargon in simple terms. And he would put you at ease when things started to get stressful. We had a zoning issue with our backyard fence. And Tom stepped up and brought his fence guy over to ...get a gate installed in the fence so we can move the sale along. Overall the whole experience was pain free. The closing on the house wasnt a normal closing for we had to do it outside because of Covid. Tom was outside hustling going car to car explaining and getting the appropriate forms signed to close the deal. He did such a great job I'm in the process of buying a property and will use his services again.

A wonderful experience

My husband and I were interested in having our will made up. We were recommended to Mr. McGovern by a good friend. We knew basicly what we wanted to do with our estate, but were confused as to how we should go about it. We found Mr. McGovern to be very knowledgeable and was very patient listen...ing and understanding our requests and concerns. He made a difficult task a very pleasant and satisfy experience. We would recommend Mr. McGovern to anyone that is looking for an excellent attorney for any estate planning.

Real Estate Clsoing

Mr. McGovern did the closing on my new home in January. The thoroughness and accessibility of Mr. McGovern was excellent. I have also worked with Mr. McGovern on several different complex estate issues, he is extrememely knowledgeable and will continue to use him for my legal needs. Tom is very tran...sparent about fees and timeframes.
