Richard G Novak Law Office

Child Support
In addition to Richard Novak’s experience as a Juvenile Court Referee in the Los Angeles County Dependency Court, we have extensive experience representing parents, guardians and other adults accused of substance abuse, domestic violence, sex offenses and physical abuse of their children and the children in their care. We know how to defend against these allegations and, where appropriate, fashion treatment and rehabilitation plans that will lead to reunification of the family. We also have experience representing parents whose former spouses have made allegations of child abuse in order to gain an advantage in custody and child support proceedings.
Child Abuse
Richard Novak is one of southern California’s leading criminal defense attorneys. He is a former Los Angeles Superior Court judicial officer and has represented defendants, witnesses and individuals under investigation by law enforcement and other government agencies for the past two decades. He has vast experience in federal and state criminal investigations, prosecutions and appeals. He is a meticulous strategist, a highly skilled negotiator, an aggressive trial lawyer and a nuanced appellate advocate. He also has a unique background representing parents and minors in juvenile dependency and delinquency cases in which law enforcement is investigating and prosecuting claims of child abuse and in which teenagers are accused of criminal conduct.

Criminal Defense
Richard is a lifelong resident of California. He attended U.C. Berkeley, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree with honors in economics. He attended UCLA Law School and was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1990. In 1990, Richard received a prestigious Skadden Fellowship that allowed him to establish a cutting-edge legal services program for homeless youth living on the streets of Los Angeles. He then served as a trial attorney and as lead appellate counsel for a law firm representing parents and minors in juvenile dependency proceedings. He then served as Deputy Federal Public Defender in the Central District of California. While working full-time as a federal public defender, Richard also served as an As-Needed Referee in the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court, presiding over juvenile dependency and delinquency proceedings. At the age of 40, Richard left the practice of law after being selected by the judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court to serve as a Superior Court Commissioner, where he presided over a wide range of criminal proceedings. Richard then returned to the practice of law and his private practice has been almost exclusively devoted to federal and state criminal defense, forfeiture matters and juvenile dependency and delinquency proceedings for the last decade.
Sex Crimes
Our experience defending young people in the juvenile delinquency courts is also significant. For example, we have represented youth alleged to have engaged in conduct related to narcotics distribution, terrorist threats, and sex offenses. Our ability to find outcomes in these matters that do not jeopardize our clients’ future employment and education opportunities are based, in part, on Richard Novak’s service as a Superior Court Referee and Commissioner. As a Referee, he presided over juvenile delinquency proceedings in virtually all of the Juvenile Courts in Los Angeles County.
Fraud
Richard’s client, a local government official, was under investigation in connection with an international securities fraud scheme involving tens of millions of dollars. Richard negotiated an immunity agreement for his client, who later testified in a deposition and in a federal forfeiture action.
Robbery
We have broad experience representing defendants and targets of investigation in state court felony and misdemeanor matters. We have represented individuals in cases involving murder, drug trafficking, insurance fraud, firearms offenses, robbery, burglary, conspiracy, theft by false pretenses, domestic violence, health care fraud, medical marijuana and serious driving offenses.
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
Embezzlement
We have extensive experience representing individuals who are under investigation by federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, the Secret Service, the DEA, the ATF, military criminal investigators and inspectors general. We have deep experience representing individuals under investigation for conspiracy, wire fraud, computer offenses, identity theft, bank fraud, exploitation of minors, insurance fraud, embezzlement, mortgage lending fraud, insider trading, tax violations, money laundering, drug offenses, racketeering and serious crimes of violence, such as extortion and murder.
Drug Crimes
Murder
Richard’s client was charged in federal court with a “cold-case” murder, and other less serious charges. Richard’s client proclaimed his innocence as to the murder, the case proceeded to trial, eight jurors voted not guilty on the murder charge, the court declared a mistrial and the government decided not to seek a retrial on the murder allegation.
Identity Theft
Homicide
Richard’s client, a music industry professional, was informed that she was under investigation in relation to an international narcotics smuggling operation that involved a homicide. After agreeing, through Richard, to provide federal prosecutors with information concerning her knowledge of these events, she was not prosecuted and her assistance to law enforcement was never disclosed to those who were prosecuted or the public.
Money Laundering
Richard’s client, a certified public accountant, was under investigation in connection with an international money-laundering scheme that originated in Africa and involved hundreds of millions of dollars. His client initially agreed to speak with a federal agent about the matter, but retained Richard before doing so. After Richard informed federal prosecutors that his client would only speak with federal agents pursuant to an immunity agreement, the government turned its attention to other aspects of the investigation.
Extortion

Real Estate Litigation
The firm has significant experience representing individuals involved in grand jury investigations.  The firm has deep experience representing individuals who are under investigation or who are being prosecuted in a wide range of areas, such as real estate fraud, tax offenses, offenses involving sexual conduct, investment fraud, mortgage fraud, bank fraud, narcotics distribution, racketeering, crimes of violence, insider trading, health care fraud, and offenses related to immigration laws.  The firm also aggressively represents individuals whose parental rights are at risk as a result of investigations by child welfare agencies and proceedings under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
