Very solid person

Call this attorney for on the behalf of my elderly father. He was a very kind decent person to work with, and a great communicator. I understand that when you work with an attorney in his field it is not like going to traffic court meaning there is a lot of complexity which he was able to break it do...wn for someone who doesn’t work day-to-day in the field. I would not hesitate to use him in the future.

Thank you!!!

I called mr.novak in regards to a letter I recieved from the IRS. I was concerned about it’s authenticty amoungst other concerns I had as well. I left him a voice mail and he immediately called me back! Mr Novak took his time to understand my concern, and walked me through understanding exactly what ...was happening. From the very beginning of our conversation, he was inquisitive and attentive and showed that he cared about my concern. He suggested some strategies I should use needless to say it all worked out!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
