Very supportive and advocated for me

Anessa spent a lot of time with me and helped me tremendously with my case. I was dealing with multiple problems with unemployment, essentially an uphill battle that I'd been dealing with on my own for many months. When she stepped in to help with my case, I finally felt like I had someone on my side... and I no longer felt alone (navigating a confusing system). She listened and spent a large amount of time with me, going over my case and preparing me for my upcoming hearing. In addition, she really cares about her clients and it shows.

Fantastic Experience with Attorney Novasio

I recently saw Attorney Novasio for an estate planning matter. She was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and helped me execute a simple estate planning package quickly. Fantastic experience, as I've written in my headline -- you will be happy that you worked with her!

Regained custody of my son

My ex went behind my back and filed for custody of our son who I had been raising. He filed two counties away and due to traffic I missed the initial hearing. He got a default order and gained custody. Anessa took my case without ever experiencing family law. I was told I would never get the upper ha...nd and that it would take over $100,000 for my case to *maybe* succeed. I am now legally the primary custodian of my son and have sole decision making. Anessa is compassionate and thorough. She is willing to learn outside her zone if she feels you deserve justice in your legal battles. I can never thank her enough and to this day feel there was a reason I found her in a random Google Search.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
