James was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Being my first time dealing with anything like this I didn’t know where to turn. After multiple web requests and calls to different firms, only a few were even returned and those that were were only receptionists gathering info, no calls after that. James answered my call on the second ring personally, on a Sunday no less. He was always responsive and helped get the outcome I was hoping for. Thank you for advocating for me James, highly recommend.

Mr. Novak's knowledge and work ethic are undeniable. He discovered more information regarding my case in a few hours than my public defender did in a few weeks. I was facing a class 6 felony and he was able to help me get into a diversion program that will completely dismiss my charges. I should have hired him sooner and saved myself the stress and worry. If it weren't for Mr. Novak, I would be in serious trouble, possibly incarcerated. I can't thank him enough for protecting my freedom and well being.

My sons past caught up with him. He was facing criminal charges. So happy that we retained Jomes Novak as his attorney, he walked us through the process every step of the way. he was able to get him cleared with no jail time....Better than we could have expected. I highly recommen James. Thank You So Much.

Beyond grateful.

I lived out of town and had a court date around the corner so time was very precious, well I had some issues.
Thankfully I got a call back and was releaved from the stress due to court stuff and got everything taken care of the way I wanted it to go!
Might be a happy new year indeed .

I found myself in a complicated legal situation and didn't know where to turn. James answered his phone the first time I called and assured me he would take care of me from the start. He was professional, fast, and kept me filled in throughout the entire process. In the end, the case was dismissed and I couldn't have been happier.

James is an amazing lawyer! He got my DUI dismissed and I was only in court 1 day! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for counsel!

James Novak is an outstanding lawyer who works hard for his clients to ensure the best possible outcome. When working with my family, he was able to put us all at ease demonstrating his professionalism and excellent customer service. If anyone is ever in a situation where they need legal advise or representation, call Mr. Novak. HE WILL ANSWER HIS PHONE and give you the guidance you need to make the right decisions. His knowledge of the law and the system along with his attention to detail will put you at ease knowing you are in good hands. He truly cares about his clients and it shows in everything he does. He exceeded our expectations and I recommend him to everyone.

Great representation, if needed would use him again.

He was able to get my charges lessened even though I did not have the best situation. He was on top of everything. Very professional. The most affordable lawyer out of the 5 or so firms I called. Couldn't be happier with his services.

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

James Novak is 11/10 he worked well with my family in ensuring we were all on the same page at all times. If you need a lawyer to fight for you he is your guy. My whole family is extremely pleased with his efforts and would recommend him to anyone who needs his services

I tried to call this Lawyer in regard to a Dui. He was completely rude and blew me off before I could even explain my situation.

James Novak is the best lawyer I have ever hired. Back in April I got caught with using a fake id to enter a concert venue and Mr. Novak helped me immensely with this situation. He got the court to dismiss this problem and made sure that everything was communicated on both ends. He is also a very trustworthy individual and I would recommend him to anyone.

Absolutely amazing. I have no idea how but James was able reduce my class 4 narcotics charge (for having Weed mints) turning me from a suspected felon back to a just 19 year old boy again. Now with a reduced charge I can actually go on tasc and wipe my record clean permanently! Would recommend to anyone struggling with the law and it’s sometimes unlawful scrutiny.

Ps. Great man too, good to talk to, really gets it.

I highly recommend James Novak! He was the perfect attorney for my son. After contacting several attorneys (Most of which had an answering service or a representative who you had to see first), I was incredibly pleased to find James Novak during one of my many google searches. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an attention to detail. He also always answered his own calls and would respond to our texts messages right away. He was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor with exactly what we had asked of him. He was also very confident and knew his way around in court and it made the whole process so easy. You will not go wrong by having James Novak represent you on any criminal case you might be facing!

James did an outstanding job for my son who needed help in two criminal charges. He was able to get the charges dismissed which exceeded our expectations. He was available by phone when I called and he was very understanding and sympathetic of our situation. I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for an optimal outcome in a criminal case. Most notably, James was nothing but honest when it came to telling us what the outcomes could possibly be. Thank you so much James!

From start to finish James was amazing. I had two charges against me, and both were dismissed. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

James is a true professional, he kept me informed about all correspondence with the prosecutor throughout the entire process. He is also very upfront and clearly indicated that every case is different. He will work hard for the best outcome for you, in my case his hard work included dismissal of the DUI charges leaving me with just the traffic violation.

James Novak is a proactive and professional attorney as he assisted me in getting both of my DUI charges dropped! Very grateful for his assistance and dedication to my case.

I was facing criminal charges with three priors in my history. Mr Novak was very helpful and got me a lighter sentence than I probably deserved. He is a great attorney and I would highly recommend him

Attorney Novak did an outstanding job defending my son. Due to his extensive professional background within the court system, he was successfully able to defend my son during a very difficult time for my family. I highly recommend Attorney James Novak for your legal needs.

James worked tirelessly behind the scenes with the prosecution, to decrease my son’s charges to a more reasonable penalty. I could not have asked for a better, more professional attorney. He treated my son with the utmost respect and walked him through every step of a very difficult situation.

James Novak help me through every step of my DUI case. In a time where all the processes were confusing and stressful Mr Novak was able to answer all of my questions and was able to get my sentencing to a minimum without any jail time. Would recommend

My son was facing two felony counts over an incident that was accidental and caused no injuries, but the likelihood of jail time was high. James negotiated a deal whereby my son will complete a court-sponsored program instead, resulting in dismissed charges and a clean record. Couldn't be happier with the work James did here!

James was very pleasant to deal with and was a calming influence throughout the process. Another plus is that he's the only attorney handling your case, unlike a huge law firm where you don't know who you'll talk to next or who will show up for the court dates. If you're in trouble, stop looking at the other firms' ads, ignore any solicitations you get in the mail, and just call James right away - he'll get you the best resolution possible.

I was charged with two felonies and was expecting to serve time in prison. James Novak defended me and negotiated a diversion program to allow me to maintain a clean record and retain my freedom. James was prompt and courteous during the entire process and never hestitated to answer any questions I had along the way. He was easy to reach at any time for questions regarding my case. He truly saved my life!

James Novak is a DUI wizard! I was certain I was going to be convicted of a drug DUI, but James managed to get the case completely dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone who is having to deal with a DUI in Tempe.

Mr. Novak (James) worked relentlessly with my requests and got a complete dismissal of my case with prejudice, he saved my job and did so with a smile on his face. It was as if he had known me for years and was doing a favor to a family member. Thank you James Novak... Would definitely recommend!

My experience with Mr. Novak was flawless. As my attorney, Mr. Novak handled my case with unparalleled professionalism and ease on my part. I would recommend him highly to any individuals seeking legal representation in any area of his expertise.

Mr. Novak did a very good job with my case was facing definite jail time, I ended up with no jail time and got my charges dropped to a f6 undesignated which will drop to a misdemeanor after I complete probation. I was very happy with his service.

I am so glad I hired James to be my attorney. James is well organized, precise, patient, and most importantly, professional. From the start he helped me with what I needed to do going forward with my case. My outcome was more than I had expected and because of him, I am forever grateful for what he has done for me and my future.

Can't speak enough to the level of satisfaction I have for the services of James Novak. He was a genuine professional about defending my best interests and always staying on top of my case and communicating the updates to me.

I've interacted with James for many years and have found his approach to always be of the height of integrity and professionalism. His communication skills are exemplary, and he continues to display the good qualities I would expect from an Attorney at Law.

James Novak did an excellent job representing me. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

I was humiliated when I was arrested and had looked around for help. I had terrible anxiety and panic about it and didn't really know how to find the right help.Hiring Mr.James Novak was literally the best money that I have ever spent. I do not have enough words to describe how amazing the experience was working with him; I could not ask for better representation. He transparent, had plans A-Z in place Incase or worse case scenario. I had my charges dismissed and that wouldn’t have been possible with out him!!!

We were in a tuff situation when a family member got into some trouble with the law. Mr Novak representation was worth every dollar. He was thoroughly impressive during his presentation to the case documents, very knowledge of law and his community. He really stood out to me as a very dedicated and hard working attorney to hire.
Mr. Novak's handling of this case and outcome was a success from the moment we met him, and to the end of the case. My advice is to take on Mr. Novak, to represent you, family members or friends when facing criminal charges.
Big Thank you !!
James Novak

Recently, Mr. James E. Novak, Esq. represented a family member. We are very pleased with his professional representation. Mr. Novak is kind, professional, and competent. Our family is grateful for his service on behalf of our family. Highly recommended.

Extremely pleased with the outcomes of the cases that I was dealt with after getting myself into trouble multiple times from a bad relationship. If it wasn’t for him, I’m pretty sure that I would have lost my job years ago and have had to spend a great deal of time behind bars. He’s extremely knowledgeable, has always explained the process of everything to me, and is someone who I always look forward talking to despite it being for unfortunate circumstances. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help in a criminal matter.
