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.

And also. He always brings great energy and respect to the court house. That's why I say it's a blessing to have them on my side.

Especially since i was driving on the far right slow lane, surrounded my mostly trucks. I pride myself for never getting a speeding ticket for 15+ years and I wasnt going to let this one ruin my record!! lol Anyway, with being tagged at 16 over, i knew i had to find someone who practiced both in WI and IL. Mr. Albanese was quick in replying emails and returning phone calls. He laid out the choices for me and what he can do to help. He represented me in court both times on my behalf, got my ticket lowered, was able to have it changed to something else other than the original speeding ticket so my insurance wasn't notified. His fees was reasonable and he is straight forward with the process. I would highly recommend him if you encountered something similar like what i went through.

Matt Fakhoury assured me that he would take all the heavy lifting from the point of contact and…read morethat's exactly what I needed for the first time in a long time. He allowed me to heal, and focus on my present while he handled the past that got me in this position. There were moments when he believed in my projected outcome as if the case was already done. Moments that I was supposed to hear it, exactly how it was said. The trajectory of my life was significantly altered in a way I never imagined. This is behind me now and ended a few hours ago with a major victory. What I do with it now is be the man Matt believed I was when he decided to stand by my side and give the other side all we got. I have a second chance! Hope, encouragement, and to have the outcome you need are what you hope you're getting from your legal counsel. But what the law firm doesn't advertise, is that you're getting a absolute savage in your corner that's looking dead in the eyes at the other side and will not be comprised for a "easy outcome" but will get you the outcome that doesn't tarnish your name permanently. The best outcome. Everyone makes mistakes. It happens. But you need to realize that you found this review for a reason. Just like I found the review that had me give him a call. I will be referring his services.

They were incredibly expensive and were unable to get charges dismissed/dropped. Charges were able to be reduced from felony to misdemeanor with 18 months probation. They had a good response time, but Matt seemed bothered & annoyed by our questions. He was rude and condescending many times. Catlin was professional & nice to work with, yet neglected to notice on probation documents that the prosecutor listed a 2 year term when it was supposed to be 18 months. Had I not paid attention & noticed the discrepancy my family member would be doing an extra 6 months unnecessarily. Disappointing when you're paying top dollar & under so much stress that you can't trust them to get the paperwork correct. Overall, I didn't feel that Matt had our back & was not on our team. Didn't work out well for us
