Smart, Wity, Excellent in Court, Just a True Advacate Once on Your Team !!!!!!! Thank You Ms. Novak !!!!!!

A true advocate in any custodial/matrimonial matter. Ms. Novak was my second incoming attorney on my highly contested custody matter in kings county IDV part 2. I was referred to Ms. Novak by my first attorney and is super thankful. My case was unique in its own ways. VERY VERY contested and con...stantly taken to new highs. Ms. Novak has been able to guide me through every aspect of my case. She is a great writer of motions, and she articulates herself extremely well on paper and in front of judges. She will do everything to get justice for you and your child!!! She knows how to communicate well with her adversaries and law guardians. She knows the law, and she is not afraid to use it!!!! My case was highly active and aggressive in every way!! Ms. Novak was always able to guide me properly and get me the results I was looking for. After 2 yrs of ligating, and 3 days of trial I have full, sole and legal custody of my son. Thank You Ms. Novak!!!!!
