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!!!

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 was extremely friendly and professional! He was always available to help me answer all my questions and needs. This was my first time buying a home and Tom was with me every step of the way. He went out of his way to make sure everything was done accurately. He was extremely efficient in helpi...ng me close as soon as possible. I had such a positive smooth experience and highly recommend Tom to everyone!

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.
