Still Dead 2026.09.02

I retained Jerry to handle a citation and court appearance for an elderly family member. I spoke with him over the phone for a few minutes, sent his team the paperwork, answered a few questions, and they prepared a declaration based on that information. My family member did not even have to appear in court with the attorney from Jerry's team. He got the citation dismissed! No penalties or fees owed to the state. The price was very reasonable---actually, shockingly reasonable. I cannot give a higher recommendation. Great job.

I read the reviews and decided to give him a call, I was able to leave him a message and when he called me this afternoon I can say I’m impressed by the wisdom and knowledge he has, without a lot of information he was able to help me understand what’s going on, I listen to his wisdom words and can say I don’t feel as guilty anymore and can understand I have options thank you for your time.

Rob,… my 1st goal is to talk about the nuts and bolts of your case and its defensibility. My 2nd goal is to
talk from my heart because I know you’re hurting from what brought you in to see me. I must achieve both goals to make you whole.

Latice 2026.07.16

Jerald was great! I spoke with him late at night. He answered questions that my hired attorney did not answer. If I need an attorney again, I will definitely use Mr. Novak.

Lattice… the job isn’t done if the client still has questions. I’m always glad to spend time w/a client after concluding the case so they feel fully comfortable understanding the outcome. I hope you won’t need me in the future but I’m here to assist you in any way possible if you do!!

We can't recommend Jerry Novak highly enough! Our son was facing a ticket dispute involving Metra that seemed minor on the surface but actually had the potential to affect his college admissions... something that kept us up at night. Jerry understood exactly what was at stake and treated the case with the seriousness it deserved. From start to finish, Jerry kept us fully informed at every step. He personally drove our son downtown to Chicago for the hearing and took the time beforehand to prepare him on what to expect, which made a stressful experience so much more manageable for a young person navigating the legal system for the first time. What stood out most was Jerry's honesty! Even when the odds were not in our favor Jerry never sugarcoated things. We placed our trust in him and his strategy and he WON our case!! Jerry is incredibly easy to talk to, patient with questions, and genuinely creative in how he approached the legal strategy for our case. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney in Northern Illinois, look no further. Jerry Novak is thorough, compassionate, and clearly cares about the people he represents. We wouldn't trust anyone else!

Alice, the legal system is stacked against the people. It’s my goal to win your son’s case, protect him from further harm and get your son back on the right track in life… now that’s a successful outcome !! I’m thrilled that I was able to accomplish all 3 !!

Jonathan Kruise 2026.07.09

Jerry has been a big help in this process , he took my call super late in the day and was still willing to help . Jerry has been honest with the same upbeat attitude he had when I first contacted him . I recommend Jerry to anyone fighting a case that needs fast , honest and responsive help ! Update : I wanted to leave an updated review while keeping the original 5-star review I posted. When I first started searching for an attorney, I was confused about how the entire process would work. Anyone can say they’re good at beating cases, but Jerry and his team truly lived up to their reputation. Jerry was able to get my case reduced from a misdemeanor to a lesser offense and even got my fines reduced. Throughout the entire process, he and his team were professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. No matter how many questions I had or how many times I called, they always took the time to answer and make sure I understood what was happening. Jerry exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I will gladly recommend Jerry to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I was in. Thank you again, Jerry!

Jerry is a great lawyer. I called him almost midnight and he responded quickly. Even the police officer gave me wrong information which was corrected by Jerry. He is a great person. He went above and beyond to help me out. He is always available for his clients. He is a knowledgeable lawyer. I would highly recommend him.

I was going through the town of McHenry Illinois and I wasn't paying attention to my speed and before you know I got pulled over doing 17 mph over. I was issued a ticket by the police officer and he showed no grace. I am from Michigan so I am not from the area at all and I didn't know who to trust but I called the Jerald Novak law firm and I spoke with a lady that goes by JJ. After I gave her some information Jerry had called me and locked me through what all could happen. For a very reasonable fee I trusted and paid him to take care of that traffic violation for me. Praise the Lord! Jerry represented me and I didn't even have to be there and it was a complete success! I am very grateful for Jerry and his team and that I don't have to worry about any points on my license or my insurance. If I don't get any tickets in 100 days, then it will be as if it had never happened. Thank you God, and thank you Jerry! I highly recommend to use this man to defend you for any traffic violations.
