About Jesus

I am  an attorney licensed in the State of Florida.  I have been an attorney for two decades and graduated with honors from St. Thomas University School of Law where I was a member of the International Moot Court Team and a Judge in the Honor Council.  I was an Associate Editor of the St. Thomas Law Review and an active member of the Hispanic American Law Society (HALS).  I received the Book Award for best student in a subject in Constitutional Law, International Law, Comparative Law and Torts.  I was included in the Dean's List for the semesters of Fall 1990, Spring 1991, Spring 1992, Fall 1992 and Spring 1993. I graduated in the top 5% of my class.

 

I was born in Havana, Cuba, but I have lived in the South Florida area for the last 33 years; I am married and have four children.  I am a lifetime member of the Humane Society of the United States and a recipient of the 1989 Golden Paw Award.  I am an avid reader and a weekend golfer.

Review Jesus Novo

Always available

Posted by

I want to give a special thanks to Gallardo firm for all the hard work they provided me throughout my case after the terrible car accident i had during the holidays. I thought nobody will be available to help me because everything happened during the holidays so i waited to call them and they returned my phone call right away. My attorney was Jesus Novo and he was so nice and professional the whole time and worked on every detail which exceeded my expectations. I would definitely return to this firm if i ever need helpd again.

The Best Atty I have ever worked with

Posted by

I have in my years used many attorneys, but I must say that Atty Jesus Novo III is the most outstanding attorney I have ever worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and responsive. He kept me throughout my case informed and very patient with questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Mr. Novo to anyone seeking the best.

I highly recommend Attorney Jesus Novo

Posted by

Jesus Novo is an amazing attorney who assisted me in a professional way on a pending immigration case before the Immigration Court. Mr. Novo addressed my situation on the best way possible as we agreed. He listens what you have to say and he will offer the best legal option you have at hand. He will never lose faith on the outcome like he told me in many opportunities, "I don't like to lose", and indeed he was successful to get the outcome I was seeking for a long time. Thank you Mr. Novo for not giving up on me or my case. You are a gentleman and someone I would highly recommend.
