Client Reviews
John J M. January 28, 2021
Well exceeded our expectations We used them for our Estate and Trust work and found them to be very thorough, knowledgeable and more affordable than we would have expected. They also give you the sense that your concerns and privacy are a top priority. I would recommend them to anyone. Great feeling to have all of our estate planning concluded!

Biography

Sam McGovern is an attorney who was born and raised in San Diego, California. He obtained the degree of Juris Doctor Magna Cum Laude from California Western School of Law in San Diego, graduating in the top 2% of his class. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Sam McGovern worked as a police officer. The unexpected take-away from Sam's time in law enforcement was a unique expertise in problem solving and conflict resolution.

Sam’s unique background lends itself to providing excellent representation to clients that results in peace of mind. He’s been there when individuals were first faced with seemingly insurmountable legal issues and understands how to help take away the uncertainty. Sam most enjoys helping families plan their legacies, protect their hard work, and provide for their loved-ones through estate planning.
