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 courtroom 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.

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.
