I have been in the real estate business, buying, selling, and flipping houses for over 10 years and have dealt with many abstract companies and closing agency's. John Novak is by far the worst experience I have ever had. His lack of professionalism is astonishing. First he took forever to get a closing sheet prepared, ignored several calls from my agent and went out of his way to be difficult to work with. At closing we walked into a tiny waiting room the size of a closet and where told the closing itself would be held there. Of course Novak was not initially present, we had to wait for him. I guess he cant afford an office with a private conference room. This makes sense given that he clearly cant afford a suit either as when he finally showed up he was dressed so casual you might have thought he was sitting in his house watching TV. I guess it was not enough that we where all crammed into a tiny waiting room to do the closing he had to have an annoying assistant in there as well playing on her phone and occasionally looking up to spout some useless dribble in a shrill voice. Finally afterwards it took him an excessively long time to register the deed with the county. Honestly given his lack of quality up to that point it did not surprise me to much though. Over all the lack of professionalism this attorney showed was astounding to the point of being laughable. I guess that is appropriate though given that he is clearly a joke.

Response from owner

Brett, thank you for your message. While we try and accommodate all client needs, whether they be basic or border line 'diva' in nature, we cannot, as you can imagine, satisfy everyone.<br><br>While we appreciate your business, we do not appreciate online falsehoods. Your closing documents were sent to you at least 2 days before closing, and your deed was filed within 5 days of closing, as is our standard practice. <br><br>Again, although we may try, we've learned after many years that we cannot meet all client expectations, despite our best efforts. Luckily, over 100+ other people feel differently than as described in your post, so we like our odds in being able to provide a great customer experience.<br><br>Nonetheless, we wish you well in your future endeavors and hope future providers can meet your requests more fully (and in a suit).

Great person and a great lawyer as professional as he can be ("not as they come") he is 1 of a kind of a man and a professional at what he does. Will do his most with what he is set to do. He will tell you with no promises or guarantees whatever your going thru or dealing with and how things are ,will ,be and turn out . No one nor him will guarantee anything in life those be the liars an false promises but this gentleman can do his best for a better outcome and won't b.s you. As you all know come straight forward don't lie don't make his job any harder when there can be a great result and outcome. Highly recommended.

Although he does not typically handle auto cases sans personal injury, John took the time to speak with us regarding next steps and suggestions on how to move forward with an unresponsive insurance company. He was very professional and kind over the phone, which I would imagine speaks to his services over all.

Good communication and patience with me. Along with explaining everything in a manner I understood. Would recommend to anyone that wants an honest attorney that’ll do everything in his power for your personal benefit.

Hi Aaron, we have no record of you speaking with our attorneys or staff or using our firm. Perhaps you wished to leave a review for another law firm.

Attorney Novak handled an injury case in which my wife was injured at a large, retail store. He was always up front, responsive, and worked to obtain a fair settlement.
