I have never had to consult with an attorney before in my life. After interviewing several attorneys after I was arrested for Extreme DUI, I met with Mr. Novak and immediately knew he was the attorney for me ! I believe I received the best possible outcome for the situation that I was in, all due to Mr. Novak's representation of me in court. You get what you pay for with Mr. Novak !! He under-promised and over-delivered ! He kept me aware of all upcoming court dates, and was always available for my questions. I am thankful I had Mr. Novak representing me !!

Mr. Novak is a top notch criminal attorney, without a doubt! His outstanding client relationship skills, ability to communicate clearly and exceptional knowledge of navigating through the legal system was extremely appreciated and necessary for a defense attorney’s success. He was always available if we had questions and responded almost immediately with answers. In addition, he explained each and every step we were taking, communicating with precision and tact, presented answers with fact and honesty, remained focused on our defense. He is very professional in his demeanor, respectable, made us feel as if we were the most important clients he had. Not once did we feel uninformed, confused, lacking in direction, nor given any false sense of well-being. He is exceptional, successful and confident. Well worth securing him as your defense attorney. Was facing 4 Felony charges, he got 3 dropped, 1 reduced to a lower level, no jail time, probation as part of a plea. Thank you Mr. Novak. JA

I was looking at 120 days jail time for a Super Extreme DUI. Mr. Novak represented me and I was very pleased with the outcome of only 4 days actual jail time and 15 home arrest. This could have not been done without his professionalism and his detail to my case. Mr Novak was always available for questions I had throughout my case and fought for me. I highly recommend his services to anyone that needs a attorney that will get the job done.

I was pending a mid-level felony charge (my first offense) and James Novak was able to suggest an alternative outcome with the prosecutors office. He never gave up on my case and was able to help me get enrolled in an alternative program to dismiss my case. I hired James because of his many years of experience in the Tempe-Mesa area. He is a great attorney. I have no regrets hiring him to represent me. I highly recommend him. It was a relief to have someone so knowledgeable about the Mesa Superior Court System representing me.

I highly recommend James Novak! He got my DUI dismissed! He would always return my call or text within minutes and always made sure I completely understand everything and always answered my questions very thoroughly! I recommend that you hire James if you're ever in a similar situation as I was.

James was extremely engaged in my situation from the start to finish of my case, and made me feel at ease the whole time, which is very important when dealing with the stress of the unknown. He truly cares about his clients and will work his tail off for you and has vested interest in each situation. I was facing a felony drug charge, and have 2 Drug Related DUI's over the past few months, along with the previous stated felony drug charge, and getting into the TASC program was our goal. After reviewing our options, James and I both agreed that getting into a diversion program would be our best option, and knew that the DUI's were going to be an obstacle in getting into the program, and sure enough, we got denied. That didn't stop James, it only made him that much more determined. After an hour or so of dealing with "higher ups" at the court, he got me in the TASC program, which was music to my ears. With all of that said, I highly recommend Mr. Novak's services, and he will work for you, and will fight for you, which is what you want when facing harsh charges. I cannot thank Mr. Novak enough for what he did for me, and know he will do the same for you if you chose to use his services.

Let me just start by saying that before being blessed with the opportunity to meet Mr. James Novak, I had met with 3 other attorneys in the area, all of which I had left their offices in tears. I was facing 5 felony charges and was told by each attorney that I was more than likely going to serve prison time or at a minimum become a convicted felon. After lots of research, I found Mr Novak and scheduled a free consultation. It was the best decision I have ever made. His pricing was nearly 50% lower than any other lawyer I had met with and he listened to my case and made me feel confident in his abilities to accomplish what I was hoping for. Mr Novak answered every single call I made within the 2rd ring. I never had to leave a single message with anyone. He answered every text message I sent within 5 minutes of sending them. He was by my side at every court date and helped me through each process, step by step. In the end, Mr. Novak was able to get me the best possible deal given the circumstances. A deal that every attorney I had met with before him said was ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!! James Novak fulfilled every expectation I had for him. I will refer anybody I ever meet who is faced with the same situation I was with confidence and pride. Thanks you so much Mr. Novak for your fantastic representation. You truly did save my life. I am forever thankful to you.
