I believe that you will appreciate her experience and straight-forward manner as well as the compassion.

Unfortunately, our experience with Joy was poor. Ours was a small, straightforward estate case, but…read moreJoy requested multiple extensions on her delivery of documents, which we freely granted. When she finally produced the documents, she had misspelled our loved one's name and seemingly had not reviewed other materials we had sent her. We then became concerned about the quality of her work. A simple apology would have gone a long way to repair. Estate lawyers are dealing with people in grief. A measure of sensitivity is required that unfortunately was absent here. I hope ours was an isolated example.

Chris is an ethical, honest, professional and knowledgeable attorney who knows real estate law…read more Chris helped us defend our property from a new neighbor who tried to claim adverse possession with an unrecorded/unsigned survey. Chris guided us in the legal process, communicated effectively and efficiently, and (in our opinion) mentored and prodded the other attorney to act. Chris's earnest desire to help both parties seek a peaceful resolution made this negative event end with a positive outcome. Eventually, Chris drafted and legally executed documents to resolve the issue. Chris is truly a praiseworthy attorney, especially with real estate in Vermont. COL(R) Keith & Angella Bean

His knowledge of personal injury law is flawless, and I am eternally grateful for his expertise and aplomb in settling my case.

There are a hundred different law offices in Vermont, and I will choose to go to any of them over Black & Govoni, or Molde Black & Govoni (I don't know which title is truly theirs, because I was unable to ask after I was hung up on).
