John Novak, Esquire

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.

I was thoroughly impressed with the fact that I was never rushed through any meeting with John, whether on phone or at his office, no matter what type of business we were discussing at the time. I was ALWAYS treated like a very valuable client whose time was even more important than his! I also have never had to wait to hear from John, a call back would be in a very timely manner. In every matter, I feel that I received far more service than I had asked for or anticipated, saving me time, and because of his foresight, quite a bit of money! Highly recommend!

John is a super star in the field of law. He is knowledgeable, patient, professional and friendly. I always trust his great advice and guidance. I think everybody needs a lawyer who knows how to deal with financial and legal issues. I recommend Novak firm to all who need legal protection. They have an awesome title company as well. They handled few closings for me with a quick and accurate service.

John is a very knowledgeable, considerate, hard-working person that makes sure to listen to your needs and fulfill them. John served as mediator in my divorce. He gave the time and effort to ensure a successful and prompt outcome. John also made me feel comfortable and at ease in an otherwise stressful situation. As long as an issue is in his line of work, I'll stick with him for anything I need advice on or help with. I completely recommend John Novak, Esquire, for any of your legal needs. If I could give him 10 stars, I would!!

I needed a lawyer when I bought my house in Scranton PA. I was pretty anxious given that I did not know anyone that I could trust, to act on my behalf. John was referred by my realtor and I decided to move forward. I believe it was the right decision. John is extremely professional but at the same time extremely helpful as well. He made the entire closing extremely easy. He gave me the choice of how deep I wanted to go in terms of understanding what I was about to sign and then took me through those while explaining everything till I was comfortable. Apart from this, he also helped me in understanding how I could negotiate my lease with my then landlord so that I did not have to pay a hefty lease breakage. All in all, I will recommend John to anyone who wants a hassle free legal experience and peace of mind.
