The Law Offices Of John A. Novello
Personal Injury, Estate Planning & Administration & Small Business Attorney
A car crash, a fall on someone else's property, an injury at work, or the loss of a parent can leave you facing legal questions on top of everything else. The Law Offices Of John A. Novello helps people in Media and Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, answer those questions and move forward. Attorney Novello has over 38 years of experience as a personal injury and workers' compensation attorney. He also handles estate planning, estate administration, and small business matters.
You Work With Attorney Novello Directly
Attorney Novello opened his own practice for one reason: he wanted every client to get personal attention. When you need to talk about your case, you meet with him one-on-one. Your file is not passed along, and he will never hand you off to another attorney.
That continuity has a practical side. The person who first hears your story is the same person who researches the facts, prepares the strategy, and represents you at the negotiating table or in the courtroom. You never have to repeat yourself to someone new, and you never have to remind your lawyer what your case is about.
Injured in an Accident
Medical bills tend to arrive quickly after an injury. Lost wages and property damage pile on while you are still trying to heal, and it is hard to focus on recovery when money is the first thing on your mind. A personal injury claim is how you seek compensation from the party whose negligence caused the harm.
Attorney Novello takes on injury cases involving:
Car and Auto Accidents
Slip and Fall Injuries on Another Person's Property
Defective or Dangerous Products
Medical Malpractice
In Pennsylvania, you have two years to file a personal injury claim. That can sound like plenty of time. Records get harder to collect and memories fade, though, so calling early gives attorney Novello more room to build your case.
Hurt on the Job
A workplace injury brings its own set of worries. Some people feel uneasy speaking up against an employer. Others are not sure they even qualify. You have rights under Pennsylvania workers' compensation, and you do not have to work out the system alone.
Attorney Novello walks clients through the claim process from the start. He answers questions as they come up, gathers the information a strong case needs, and makes sure paperwork is submitted on time. He can also help you find medical care that supports your recovery, so the claim and the healing move forward together.
Planning Ahead and Settling an Estate
Estate work has two sides. Planning means deciding now how your assets will pass to your family and putting those wishes into a clear, comprehensive will. Administration comes later, after someone has died and their estate has to go through probate.
If a loved one has recently passed and named you in their will, the probate process can feel overwhelming while you are still grieving. Attorney Novello guides families through estate planning and administration so assets are divided the way the person who left them intended.
Legal Help for Small Businesses
Starting a company takes a series of legal decisions, and running one adds more every year. Attorney Novello advises owners on small business law, including business formation, contract drafting, contract conflicts, and tax issues. A conversation before you sign or file is usually simpler than one after a problem appears.
Two Offices, Three Counties
The firm keeps offices on North Olive Street in Media and in Kennett Square with street-level handicap/ramp access. Pick whichever location is easier for you to reach and call to set up an appointment.
