Absolutely outstanding! I can’t recommend this practice highly enough. I dealt initially with Tom McGovern and laterally with Matthew McGovern. Both were absolute gentlemen… highly professional and clearly experts in their field. Thank you both for all your patience, advice and support from day 1, as well as for your skill and expertise in knowing how best to handle our situation. Thank you for ensuring we had the absolute best result possible. We are so grateful.

This is a great firm.
After I found myself in trouble I contacted Thomas. After meeting with him they pushed my case and negotiated a deal. My case was dealt with quickly and I got a great result. If you find yourself in trouble with the court they should be your first phonecall.
