First of all, let me tell you that Jerald Novack is the most narcissistic and egotistical person…read morethat I have ever met in my entire lifetime. He has always treated me like garbage and never made me feel like he had my back. He started racking up false charges and billing me for sending emails pertaining to my case, Absolutely no positive communication with this guy at all. He absolutely thrives on arguing with me every time we go to a hearing. I have never felt so untrusting about a lawyer until I met this guy. He will drain your bank and leave you wondering why you ever hired this incompetent jerk.

Mr. Novak was extremely professional throughout my case, which happened to be my third DUI in less…read morethan a decade. I was facing many years in the state prison system on a Class 2 Felony. He was able to reduce the charge to Aggravated Driving Under the Influence, a Class 4 Felony. Among the terms of my plea deal, I have 24 months of probation with 180 days of electronic home monitoring (EHM), public service requirements, and fines/fees. This was a really good outcome for me compared to the alternative of spending time behind bars. To get the felony reduced to the least severe felony charge took work and patience on both the part of Mr. Novak and me. He guided me through what I needed to do not only for my criminal case, but also with what I needed to do to help myself through my battle with alcohol. This included me getting immediately into treatment. Based on my substance abuse situation I entered a 75-hour outpatient program. Some people may need to enter in-patient (residential) treatment for 28 days or more, but my specific situation required outpatient help. Besides the treatment, Mr. Novak highly encouraged that I become involved with a support group and obtain a sponsor. For me, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was that group and I have had a sponsor for several months and have remained sober by being active in the program and with my sponsor. For Mr. Novak to be able to provide the best possible outcome in your case requires time. Expect the time between the incident (arrest) and the final terms of sentencing/probation to be many months. My case took 9 months and 10 court appearances to reach the final plea. In that time I was able to get back on track with completing the 75-hour outpatient program, a 6-month aftercare program, successfully hired with a company in which I am still employed, and am remaining sober. I highly recommend the services of Mr. Novak. If you get into a DUI situation, he is the attorney to use to help you move forward with your case and your life.

There is no better option than Lauren and her team as a first time home buyer, or as any home buyer…read morefor that matter! I will use her for all my future purchases and would recommend her to anyone that'll listen! Lauren's no BS attitude combined with her vast knowledge-base is invaluable. I had so much anxiety because I knew so little about the process as a first time buyer, but Lauren (and Valery) were there every step of the way to keep me informed and at ease. There were multiple issues on the seller's side throughout our process and she handled them all seamlessly and quickly. Her ability to communicate so well with my lender also made so that things were being handled for me behind the scenes before I even knew about them! I am so extremely grateful that my realtor had Lauren on my team and look forward to all my purchases with her to come!
