Posted by anonymous | December 7, 2018 | Hired Attorney
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...
"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."
