About

I am Jerry Novak and I opened Jerry Novak & Associates to help people deal with the stress and legalities associated with DUI and criminal defense. I provide legal advice and representation for people charged with their first DUI or people who have been charged with multiple DUI offenses. I have significant experience handling issues related to DUI defense, Secretary of State Reinstatement Hearings, suspended or revoked driver licenses, and other criminal defense matters. A majority of my DUI clients come from Lake County and northern Cook County, Illinois including the cities of Grayslake, Waukegan, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Libertyville, Mundelein, Gurnee, and Vernon Hills. As a former Assistant State’s Attorney and as a private defense attorney, I have handled cases as simple as a traffic violation and as serious as murder. I hold a license to practice law in all Illinois State Courts and all Federal Courts including the U.S. Supreme Court. I have been previously licensed to practice law in Washington D.C. and the U.S. Tax Court. I have lectured at professional seminars for Alcohol and Drug Counselors including NICASA and IODAPCA. I have been recognized as a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. I have also been a participating member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois Bar Association and the Lake County Bar Association. I have taught law and business courses at the college level. I hold a J.D. from the John Marshall Law School and a Bachelors Degree from Northeastern Illinois University. If you have been charged with a Driving Under the Influence or any other criminal offense, please contact Jerald Novak & Associates. I don’t just say I can help with your Illinois DUI defense, I prove I can help.

If you are looking for a hard working, caring and honest legal representative JERRY is your person! No lies. No false promises. He will be transparent with you and work restlessly on your case. Again, I have never met anyone who cared so much. I have been working with Jerry for several months now and he has changed my life for the better. He has not only helped me in court but also in my personal life. Im honored to call him my mentor. I promise you there is none better than Jerry. Thank you Jerry for everything and I appreciate our friendship. I would give him 10 starts if possible thats how great he is!

I got charged with a Class A Misdemeanor for Aggravated speeding.I was hit with going to 107 on a 65.I reached out Jerald Novak Associate,gave some initial info and received call back from Jerald very quickly. He was able to tell me the possible outcomes,what to expect,and how everything would be handled.What I most impressed by was that he was able to reduce my charges and after six mounts supervision -keeping my record clean.Jerald is an outstanding lawyer.I am very grateful for what he and his assistant Masha were able to do for me.I definitely referring him to my friends and family.Thank You so much for everything!

Jerry fought for me even as the state constantly gave us the run around. He saved me from losing my CDL for another year, and now I can return to my driver job. Thanks for everything Jerry.

My first call with Mr. Novak was so helpful. He didn’t rush it and went into detail on how he would handle my case. He gave me advice on what I should do whether I hired him or not. He treated me like a caring friend and not like someone who just wanted a client. Not only did he get me a great deal I feel he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with everything about my case. I’m so grateful I followed my gut and went with him. You won’t be disappointed.

I had a 5th DUIs September 2019. Was facing 4-15 years in penitentiary. My life became extremely difficult overnight. Mr. Novak wasn't just an attorney to me during this difficult time. He was a mentor, a friend and a light of hope in the darkness i felt engulfed by. My case was reduced to a class 2 felony from class 1. And i got probation. Unheard of!!! And NO JAIL TIME!!!! And that's just a MIRACLE!! Mr. Novak got me a second chance in life I'm planning to appreciate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you the happiness in life YOU provided ME with.

I got a very bad speeding ticket and I did not know what to do or who to call. A week later I got his letter on the mail so I gave him a shot.. and it was probably the best thing I’ve done! I called him to get a quote on my case and we ended up talking for 30+ minutes about my case, background and life.. You can tell he really cares for you and wants the best for you! He even encouraged me into going back to school.. Great Guy, Highly Recommended!!
