Posted by anonymous | November 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Former client

I was charged with serious crimes in Hudson County and Max was able to get them completely dismissed. From the start of my case I felt very comfortable in his hands and he knew the system through and through. I could tell I was going to be taken care of well by him from the moment he walk into the co...urtroom everyone knew him. All the sheriffs, court staff and judge treated him with great respect. He was very good when arguing my case and believed in me.

Saved my life and career

I’ve never been in trouble and was facing serious fraud charges with the feds. Mr. Novel became my lawyer a few months before trial. He walked me through the experience every step of the way. A few days before trial Mr. Novel called me letting me know that he got the charges completely dismissed. His... dedication to my case kept me from getting convicted. An amazing lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
