Peace of mind
Out of the blue; an issue arose against my lisence from 2 years prior. Once I contacted Mr McGovern, I immediately understood the process and what I needed to do to protect myself.

The Best Attorney Possible!
Stop. Do not search any further, and there is no need to read anymore reviews. Hire Jim McGovern NOW. I cannot say enough positive things about Graff & McGovern, and specifically Jim McGovern, LPA. If you want to have the most professional and sound legal counsel, representation, and sage advice...

Excellent
Very professional, helpful, knowledgeable. Couldn’t imagine dealing with a BON issue without his help. Good communication and responsiveness. Billing is very transparent and fair. No hidden costs anywhere. 5/5, can’t think of any complaints. Exceptional.

Satisfied Client
Mr. McGovern stepped in and took control providing professional direction in a time that it was greatly needed. He was quick to respond to and questions or needs and I could not have asked for better representation. His professionalism, knowledge and swift actions are something everyone should desire...
"Jim and I served together in the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Jim has extensive administrative law experience in state government, as well as in the private sector representing clients with administrative law issues. He is a conscientious and effective attorney. I am proud to endorse him."
"I have known and worked with Jim McGovern for over twenty years. He is honest, hard working and knows how to handle cases before various Ohio licensure Boards. I have consulted with Jim on complicated cases and find that he has the knowledge, patience, compassion and experience to provide wise and reasoned counsel to clients. I routinely refer cases to Jim if my firm is conflicted out of the case as I know that Jim will provide the client with excellent representation. I highly endorse this attorney."
