About Law Firm

Attorney Govan moved to Portland Maine in 1999 to attend law school. He is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the University of Maine School of Law. He recently received a Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Southern Maine at Portland.

Attorney Govan enrolled in every course that the University of Maine School of Law offered at the time in the areas of family law and children’s advocacy. He and a fellow student created the curriculum for and led a class titled The Child, Family and State. After becoming a member of the Maine Bar in 2005, attorney Govan took cases as a guardian ad litem in child protective matters, and as a parents’ attorney in various family matters. While still focusing mainly on family law, attorney Govan has expanded his law practice to include landlord tenant, probate and wills, and real estate matters that were first arising out of the needs of his clientele.  

Govan Law Office has the strong belief that parents are best suited to determine what works best for the care of their children. In the absence of the collaboration needed to come to an agreed upon order, which meets the needs of their children, and an equitable financial arrangement to move on from divorce, zealous advocacy is of utmost importance in the family law courts. This often requires hearings. Govan Law Office is dedicated to getting the best outcomes for their clients.

Reviews

Matthew and his team were wonderful. I was looking for a lawyer who was able to keep things civil and respectable while also providing results on my behalf with my sons best interest at the forefront while keeping clear communication with me along the way. They accomplished just that with quick responses and in depth knowledge. Co-parenting is hard and stressful enough, do yourself a favor and get a team like Govan Law offers!

Matthew and his paralegal were the absolute best from the very first meeting to the last. Very straight forward and honest, worked with me on everything I needed help with even with a 3hr time difference, I definitely felt at ease knowing he was handling my case. I would definitely recommend to anyone I know.

Matthew and his paralegal failed to do literally anything productive in my case. The very first day they conceded to anything and everything that was asked for without challenge. They have failed to acquire documents, failed to assist in contacting third parties, and now after being removed from my defense continue to fail in providing me the documentation i paid an arm and a leg for them to acquire. Not worth a single penny in legal defense but Matthew seemed like a nice guy. Not 300/hr nice but I'll give him 2 stars for courtesy. His paralegal, however, has none and was rude from the very minute she was involved.
