Jennifer Lee Novelli

Handled a very complicated divorce and custody case like she does it every day. She is very smart and an excellent strategist. What impressed me most was her ability to handle all aspects of family law from dealing with the parenting consultant to finances. She made it clear what is happening ever...y step of the way and educated me so I could give input and be part of the process. She has a high degree of integrity and represented me in a professional, respectful, and dignified manner, which made her dealing with opposing counsel that much more effective and successful.

I had a divorce that was complicated by a spouse who was in the military, serving overseas. Lee Novelli did not stumble at all when it came to dealing with those issues. She is very knowledgeable about family law and I was happy to find out that she knew what to do when it came to dealing with my mil...itary/international divorce. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to be on my side. Her knowledge and compassion is unparalleled and I felt much better having her on my side, protecting my interests. Her sage advice along the entire process, gave me peace of mind and I knew I couldn’t be in better hands. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend or family member in need of a top-notch lawyer. Lee Novelli is a true blessing.

Lee represented me in a very complex divorce and child custody matter and she managed to remain thoroughly informed of the countless moving details. She was highly responsive and kept me informed every step of the way, which alleviated some anxiety. She was professional and always thoroughly prepar...ed. Each legal step was well thought through and considered. Lee fought for my rights as a parent and regarding the dissolution issues while always asserting the best interest factors of my two young children. She never “padded” her hours and was efficient. Aside from being an excellent attorney, I respect her ethics and the strategic approach to my case. I would look to Lee if I needed legal advice in the future. Highly recommended.

I thought I knew what I was doing when I divorced my husband of 18 years. I thought I was protecting myself and my children. He said he was willing to support the kids through college. He said he wanted to make sure that we were okay. He said .... And I trusted him. I found out two years later... when my daughter turned 18 years old that I was wrong and he wasn't willing anymore. He had "moved on." If only I had hired Lee Novelli to represent me or at least review my agreement with my former spouse, I would not be supporting my two children through college alone (financially & emotionally & intellectually) and I probably would have avoided much of the emotional torture I've experienced the least two years. Lee was realistic about my chances and educated me on Minnesota family law. It's not as easy as we all think. I also learned that one needs a family law specialist - I had an attorney who messed up any chance of getting alimony. Lee's support helped me get at least some settlement and helped me greatly to focus on the important facets of life - my children and my future. She has been realistic, yet sympathetic. Hire an attorney! It's worth the small investment to avoid future surprises and disappointment. Lee was clear from the beginning that she supports fair and honest settlements between divorcing couples. A neutral approach from the beginning can divert anger and hostility, which is poison for any person, especially children. A couple divorcing is full of emotion and will benefit from professional & realistic legal assistance. And Lee shouldered much of the aggravation of dealing with my former spouse's aggressive attorney - thanks, Lee! Lee Novelli is intellectually sharp and has a gentle yet firm personality. I highly recommend her and have already referred her to people considering divorce.
