Highly recommend

Thomas just closed two transactions for me...sale of one home and purchase of another within days of each other. (2 to be exact). He was very professional and kept me informed of everything from start to finish. Will absolutely use him again.

Proficient and professional

Tom handled both the sale of my first house and the purchase of my second. He was very knowledgeable, patient and precise. He made himself available to me anytime I needed him. The sale of my house was not an easy one and took 9 months to close as I had issues that had to be corrected with the town.... He helped with that as well and spoke with many people on my behalf. He kept my buyers up to date every step of the way to ensure a smooth closing. I highly recommend Tom for your real estate needs and I will also be hiring him to handle my will in the near future.

Amazing Lawyer

I have known Thomas McGovern since I was a child! In 2019, I lost both of my parents tragically. Tom, treated me as if I were his brother with empathy and care that could not be matched. His attention to detail is incredible. He helped probate both of my parents Wills, helped with the legal sale ...of my parents home, and offered countless pieces of legal advice. Both professionally and personally I recommend Tom for any job!

Excellent, knowledgeable, excellent attorney

Mr McGovern was an amazing attorney. I used him for probate of an estate. His attention to detail and was timely in getting everything filed quickly. I have also used him for real estate transactions. Absolutely nothing negative to say. Everything went smooth with no hiccups! I will continue to... use him firm again and will recommend him to others. He takes pride to represent you where you feel comfortable with him representing you!

Outstanding professionalism

My name is Debra and I have to say Mr Thomas McGovern made me a will, power of attorney and a health proxy in case I was ever to need one. His knowledge and kindness guided me to make the right decisions and choices for something I feel is very important. He took the time to give me situations and ex...amples so I could see the whole picture. He is a trustworthy attorney and made me feel important to have as his client. Outstanding!!!
