Atty. Novasic represented me and my husband for injuries we got when we fell walking into a big box store. We are senior citizens and never went through anything like this before. We weren't sure what to do. He made us feel comfortable in pursuing legal action for payment of our medical bills. He knew what he was doing, understanding and easy to get in touch with. He kept us informed as to the progress of the case. He even fought to get the video footage. He got all our medical bills paid and extra for all we went through. Very pleased with his work.

As a single mom I was stressed after my son and I were in a car accident. After talking to Aaron he assured me that he would take care of us. He was calm and understanding especially after I broke down crying to him about the crash. Aaron worked quick and checked in on us to see how the doctor visits were going. Aaron got us a great settlement with the insurance company of the person that hit us. He told us from the first day talking that we won’t have to worry about a thing and that our only job was to focus on our health and he did the rest. I cannot thank him enough!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing and highly competent real estate attorney, Frank Furlett and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding service provided throughout the entire process. As a couple in their 30's navigating the complexities of buying a home, I was fortunate to have Frank by my side.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Frank was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly thorough in their approach. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring that I fully understood the legal intricacies involved in the real estate transaction. His willingness to answer my questions and address any concerns put my mind at ease, making what can be a daunting experience far more manageable.
What truly stood out was his attention to detail. He left no stone unturned, meticulously reviewing all the documents, contracts, and agreements. This thoroughness gave me confidence that I was in capable hands, and I could trust that my interests were being protected at every turn. Frank’s commitment to ensuring that all legal aspects of the transaction were in order was truly impressive.
Communication was excellent throughout the process. He kept me informed about the progress, promptly returning calls and emails, and always being available to discuss any updates or changes. This level of responsiveness made me feel like a valued client and reinforced the trust I had in his expertise.
In a real estate market as competitive and challenging as the one I faced, having an attorney who was not only knowledgeable but also dedicated and thorough made all the difference. Thanks to Frank’s support, I now own my dream home, and I couldn't have done it without his guidance.

I chose Tom as my USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) representative to ensure I’d have expert support as a firearm owner if needed. Years after our initial consultation and retainer payment, I encountered a situation that concerned me and could have potentially escalated into a more serious issue. Late on a Friday evening, I left him a voicemail, not expecting a response until the following week. To my surprise, he returned my call that same evening, addressing my concerns promptly and reassuring me that the issue was manageable.
By Monday, as he predicted, the matter was resolved, and my worries proved to be unfounded. While I can’t delve into the details of the legal concern, what stood out was Tom’s expertise in evaluating the situation and his accurate assessment of its likely outcome. His professionalism and swift action gave me immense peace of mind during a stressful time.
Now, one word of caution: as a client, I started receiving some really interesting articles from Tom's practice—on topics spanning all aspects of his practice. Most weren’t from Tom directly but from others in his firm. One day, my wife stormed in, furious, holding my phone like it was evidence in a courtroom. “Why,” she demanded, “are there emails about divorce in your inbox?” Now, we have a great relationship, so once I explained they were from Tom's firm, tied to his retainer, we both had a good laugh. But let me just say this: if your spouse happens to be the jealous type—especially one with a flair for dramatics—you might want to give them a heads-up. Otherwise, your next legal concern might involve trying to prove your spouse's attempt to stage a “mysterious accident.”

I’d suggest doing some shopping before choosing an attorney for a DUI charge. I did not do so and went with Glasgow because of his reviews. It cost me twice as much as any one I’ve ever talked to in the same situation and often I felt he was late or unprepared for court. One time he even sent his associate to fill in for him who didn’t know my case and had to ask for a continuance because he had another conflict. He is very nice to work with and always answers your questions but I felt he takes on a lot of cases and then isn’t prepared for yours.
In DUI cases especially first offenses often times your lawyer can get it reduced but I didn’t feel that he helped with any part of my case, when originally he told me I had a very solid case in his opinion. If you don’t think you will beat it, there’s not much point in hiring an expensive lawyer like him because you will end up with a guilty verdict and have to pay a ton in court fines on top of his fees in addition. The only thing he seemed to do for me was drag out the case for 4 months and blame the states side when I saw multiple times he was the one unprepared for court. Just my own opinion but I’d suggest if you’re ever in this position to get quotes from a couple lawyers then make your choice.
