This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent and Brilliant

I had some legal issues with the federal government and fired two attorneys before finally being referred to Richard Novak by one of my attorneys who I kept as council. Richard is excellent at what he does and truly cares about his clients best interests. He always made time for me and never once mad...e a big deal out of it. He doesn’t over bill but at the same isn’t cheap, but is worth every penny. He’s aggressive but yet extremly calculated and strategic. He listens and also gives solid advise. He’s bullet proof and if your having any type of serious criminal or civil federal matters don’t look anywhere else. This is the attorney to hire and keep in your phone book for the rest of your life. A solid and honest man who will do exactly as he says...and looks at the bigger picture not the short run. I wouldn’t hire any other attorney for any serious matters, Richard Novak is by far one of the most professional and respectful attorneys I have met. He doesn’t have a god complex like most lawyers and he is still very human and humble, but extremly good at his craft. He mangaged to settle my issues with the federal government in just 2 months when other lawyers I fired simply had been dragging their feet to just bill me more and more and accomplished nothing. Your lucky if you ever come across another attorney like Richard Novak in your life time. Hes an anomaly in the legal world. If you chose to retain him you won’t be disappointed by any means. He’s a lifer like I stated. Keep him in your phone book for life. Highly recommended

Federal crime lawyer | Nov 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Richard Novak and I have worked on numerous matters together and have tried a lengthy and complex RICO case together. Richard is always extremely prepared, and continuously inventive in the ways he defends his clients. His trial skills are second to none. He is both thoughtful and aggressive. He enjoys the respect of prosecutors, judges and the defense community. If a family member had a federal criminal matter, I would not hesitate to refer them to Richard because I would be confident that they could not receive better representation elsewhere. I highly endorse Richard Novak."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
