Tom has helped my parents and myself with estate planning. He was amazing helping my parents, patiently answering all their questions and making them feel at ease. He did the same for myself and all aspects were addressed and handled with much attention to detail. Then recently I decided to sell my house and I didn't consider hiring anyone other than Tom. He was incredible at guiding me through every step of the process. I cannot express enough how thorough, knowledgeable and helpful Tom is in handling these matters. He was there every step of the way and closing was a breeze thanks to his diligence. I will be buying a house upstate soon and there is no doubt Tom will be my attorney for that also. Thank you Tom. I call ya as soon as I'm ready to buy.

We found Thomas McGovern through very good friends while looking for a real estate attorney for a co-op we were putting an offer on in Queens. We called a few other recommendations from other people but automatically felt comfortable with choosing Tom due to his experience with co-ops and more importantly, his friendly and efficient demeanor. He guided us through more than just the law side of the process. We were actually rejected from the co-op board without an interview. All the work that Tom had done for months was down the co-op tubes… he did not, for one second, make us feel like his time was wasted! He was disappointed for us and encouraged us back on our search. There were a few more offers made (and accepted) and contracts reviewed. We weren't in love with anything until we finally found our house on Long Island!! Tom was so patient as we went through a few places before actually going through with the purchase process again. The house we ended up buying had an offer or two ahead of ours that fell through due to missing paperwork on the seller’s side fore it being an estate. Tom reassured us that he had dealt with many estate scenarios and this missing paperwork was not a challenge for him or us. Something that was too complicated for the lawyers of offers ahead of ours—was no problem at all for Tom!! Throughout the process of finally buying our house, Tom guided, advised, revised, and reassured our side every step of the way. He certainly dotted every “i” and crossed every “t” to ensure the smooth transfer of title. Our closing was scheduled as soon as could be and ran without any hiccups at all—all honestly thanks to Tom. We invited him back to the house once it was officially ours to celebrate. It didn’t end there… Tom also recommended a great contractor when our previous had abandoned us the day before closing. He also periodically checked in on us along the way to see how the house was coming along and just to see how we were doing. Tom did what others couldn't and what others wouldn’t. I highly, highly, highly recommend Thomas McGovern as an Attorney!! As a real estate agent myself—I am constantly recommending him to all of my real estate network.

We were about to lose the home my wife had her heart set on and Tom was recommended to us. Within hours of our speaking to Tom we had a contract on the table. Tom kept us well advised during the sale and closing and I never had any additional worries. I would strongly recommend Him and plan on using Him in the future.

I hired Tom for a closing on a rental property I owned. From start to finish, the closing went smooth. Tom’s knowledge, ability to communicate effectively, and attention to detail are unmatched. Truly a one of a kind attorney.

Being a first time home buyer I didn’t know what to expect. Tom made things real easy for us. Fair prices, knowledgeable and painless on our end. He went above and beyond to make sure things went smooth.

I used Thomas as my real estate attorney for the selling of my elderly fathers Co op apartment. Thomas eased my stress level regarding selling my dad's place, by answering any questions I or my sister had regarding the process. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and a very nice guy. I would highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone I know.

From our first phone call to our last conversation, Tom was always there for us. He met with us at our home on more then one occasion to go over everything, and made sure we understood what was going to happen before going forward. Tom, thanks for all you did for us and making us feel relaxed during the sale of our home. Bill

Back in 2020, Tom had handled a residential closing in rocky point. Couldn't have been more professional and the transactions were as smooth as can be. Will definitely use again, and prices are very reasonable.

Tom McGovern handled my family's estate and several closing I've had. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, making the process stress free. I can't thank him enough making the experience a pleasure. I honestly would highly recommend his services and can't thank him enough.

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.

Tom is knowledge and has his attention to every detail. I appreciate the frequent communication, he let me know ahead of time what to expect during the home buying process and was very responsive. He listened to my needs and concerns, and I highly recommended him. I cannot say thank you enough times!

I was referred to Tom by a colleague, from the inception Tom was accommodating, easy to contact and very pleasant. I had a few hurdles with my closing, Mr McGovern was receptive and able to resolve all issues. On the day of closing, everything went seamlessly. I have no problems recommending Mr. McGovern.
