I have worked with Joseph on many occasions. I have invited him to be a guest speaker speaking about The legal aspects of Injury and death. His knowledge in the field of personal injury and probate is like none other. Anybody that I have sent to Joseph that can use his help have always been beyond happy. I appreciate you and I thank you for the great work!
Hands down the best law firm I have been to! I thought my car was stolen and vandalized and one of my friends recommended this firm. I reached out and was able to speak with Joseph. Literally after 5 minutes he was able to find out that my car was towed and not stolen. I was beyond relieved. I have to say if I ever need an attorney this is the firm I am going to. They were nice, quick and responsive. Even in a situation where they most likely know there was no money to be made for the firm they just wanted to help out!
I am a lawyer who represents individuals who were involved in a personal injury due to an accident. These types of injuries may arise from car accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective products, or wrongful death claims.
My main focus is to bring the knowledge and know-how when it comes to Personal Injury and Probate Law. I understand how delicate it can be dealing with an injury or death and that is why I believe in having a completely open-door policy. From providing assistance from the time of injury, to dealing with body shops and insurance carriers all the way to filing a lawsuit, litigating and recieving maximum compensation.
I was born in Long Island, New York and raised in Los Angeles, California. Before attending law school, I attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and completed a bachelor's degree in History. I then attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles where I received my Juris Doctor. I then fell in love with helping others in aspects of their lives when they feel they are in a place of discomfort and uncharted waters.
With this understanding in mind I see that a settlement from an insurance company or inheritance from a loves one is only the first step, I have taken an extra step in assisting by receiving many financial licenses ranging from Life and Health insurance license to various Securities Licenses such as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law license, the Uniform Investment Adviser Law license and the Investment Company & Variable Contracts Products Representative license (Also Known as: Series 6, 63 and 65).

Personal injury and Probate seminar
I attended one of the seminars that Joseph was hosting in regards to what to do if you are injured or dealing with the loss of someone. I have to say it was very informative, the tips Joseph gave the crowd was beyond amazing. I was in an accident 2 years ago and did not seek the proper treatment or how to handle the insurance companies. I wish I knew this information long ago. I highly recommend Joseph and the team! He also gave me his cell phone number in case I ever need him. Thanks!

Car accident injury
I was injured in a big car accident hit from behind and I knew right away to call Joseph. He has helped me every step of the way from getting my car taken care of as it was totaled and getting me the right treatment. At the beginning I was scared to get an attorney but right when I started talking to Joseph I felt really good about him. He literally has called me and followed up every step of the way! The best thing about him is he gave me his cell phone number for direct contact. Not sure what I could have done without him!

Totaled car
My car was parked on the street while I was at work and hit by a car that was coming off the freeway. Thankfully I wasnt in the car at the time. But at that time I didn't know what to do. I was without a car and I commute to work a long way. I called Joseph and he helped me right away and was able to introduce me to the law and how to go about getting a rental so I can get back on my feet. He did not charge me at all for the phone consultation but I can tell he cared for my situation and did not look at me like a dollar sign. Thanks again!

Car accident assistance
I got into a car accident a while back and immediately I was referred to Joseph by a good friend of mine. I sat down with him and the staff and felt right at home. My accident was a fender bender and he was able to assist me with the damage to my car. He did not even charge me for the consultation and the walk through. I am forever grateful for his assistance and I highly recommend him

Excellent job
The Law Offices of Joseph Novel did an exceptional job in planning and explaining
my specific estate plan.
After my initial consultation he setup all I needed and thoroughly explained it in simple terms! I now have a Trust, Will, Health Directive and my assets can stay private and that’s a good feeling.
If you are looking for a professional service, and a lawyer who truly cares about you. He’s the man, I’m going to refer him to my friends and family! I know they will be in good hands.
