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!

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!!!

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.

I had the pleasure of using Tom Mcgovern to put together a family will. Tom was able to answer all of our questions and concerns. He made us feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable about all the various outcomes that could occur. He is a true professional that will look out for your family's... best interests. Thank you again Tom.
