Bob was extremely responsive, thorough, and he guided me through every step of the closing process. He even helped me save money in the negotiation stage! Bob and his team are fast, effective, and knowledgeable. I feel extremely fortunate to have had his help in this transaction. After the sale closed, Bob's team continued to give me guidance on another real estate issue I was having. Bottom line is that I had a fantastic experience with Bob and his team, and I highly recommend them!

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.

After…read moreseveral months of trying to resolve this directly between landlord and tenant, we had hit a brick wall with tenant refusing to communicate with us. We were extremely frustrated and decided to secure professional help. Guided by excellent reviews on the internet, we found Jim Hartman. What a find that turned out to be. During our first call, Jim clearly described the process and timeline for an eviction action which turned out to be extremely accurate. Once Jim took over the process, it became stress-free for us. Among Jim's many virtues is his superb communication- frequent and clear with impressive availability by phone and email. Based on our experience, Jim merits our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation to anyone needing a real estate lawyer.
