A Blessing

I had to travel out-of-state to my sister's home to mourn her death and handle all the business that must be dealt with at this sad and stressful time. She did not leave a will or a little book with all her wishes, as our mother had. I was referred to Scott Novak, who immediately gave me the comfor...t and support I needed, telling me at the end of our first meeting, "Go in peace." I did; and Scott continued to deal with all the details that, at first glance, appeared simple, but became more complicated. Almost a year-and-a-half later, he let me know he was finished. He communicated regularly to keep me informed through the entire process. I am forever grateful to be blessed with Scott coming into my life at this challenging time.

IRS Lien removal

Scott did an excellent job in having an IRS tax lien removed on a property we purchased. I would highly recommend him.

My experienced with Mr. Scott H Novak

Three years ago I hired Mr. Novak to handle a very serious and complex legal problem. For two years, he worked on the case and overcame a lot of obstacles. At the end of two years, he was able to achieved an excellent result. I would recommend Mr. Novak highly.

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.
