Excellent work at reasonable rates.

When my father passed in 2020, I needed the house put into probate and needed a real estate attorney for the closing, after we sold the house. Tom handled both for me. He patiently explained the process to me and competently handled what needed to get done. I would use him again.

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!

Good experience with our attorney

I hired Mr. McGovern to handle my mother's estate. He needed to do the probate when my mom passed, and than take care of the sale of her house. There was a few bumps along the way but he handled everything very professionally and stayed with me until everything was done. I had gone through two o...ther attorneys that couldn't handle my situation and Mr. McGovern was the only attorney that got everything to fall into place and take care of the matter for me. He is a true professional and a very considerate attorney.
