Jim McGovern

Mr. McGovern has helped me and my family through some very difficult legal issues with the State Medical Board. He has always been very professional in his dealings and very knowledgeable about what would be likely outcomes. I would certainly recommend him as counsel if you are in need of someone w...ho has had experience in dealing with the Medical and Nursing Boards.

It was stressful time, my previous lawyer was adding more stress than finding a resolution. Jim was more understanding and approachable. He is matter of fact and staright shooter. I think the situation could have been resolved earlier if I had hired him from the begining. I highly recommend him. Than...ks Jim.

My personal impression is that Mr. McGovern will REPRESENT you, but not fight for you. Every conversation is a fee. No question can be asked without a fee. Bills for everything. He claims my consent agreement sat in his Spam mailbox for over a month and he only looked for it when I called him to ask ...about. By then I had no option but to sign with permanent restrictions that limit my career choices. Yes I am practicing. But like he says, that is up to the BON. My impression is that he put a standard packet together, the BON saw I represented and complied and they signed off. I doubt he fought to get any of these restrictions removed. Now they are permanent with no chance of a change. My advice is to find a different attorney
