Sulema Medrano Novak emotionally abused my aunt during her colon cancer intensive care hospitalization. This matter started because Sulema harassed my Aunt during her most vulnerable time of healing from colon cancer surgery which Sulema was well aware of. Sulema was also fully aware that my Aunt was grieving immensely about the loss of her 22 year old sister and how my Aunt REPEATEDLY asked Sulema not to play sadistic mind games with her. Despite Sulema being fully aware of my Aunt’s delicate physical and emotional state, Suelema antagonized my aunt in the most egregious manner and outright LIED about her intent to finalize payment on a case that Sulema dragged out as well as emotionally tortured my Aunt all throughout. When my family had enough of Sulema’s emotional abuse, several family members decided to seek accountability but Sulema played victim and showed zero remorse for how she treated my Aunt! Dentons also allowed Sulema to pay a stalker to place tracking devices on my fam

Sulema Medreno Novak is the most fraudulent attorney that I have EVER known to exist! She tries to weaponize the law but does realize she is in way too deep to overcome the consequences of her rogue discrimination and disingenuous acts! My entire network will NEVER EVER stop pursuit of justice until she is held accountable! Regardless of who you THINK you’re and how you THINK you’re getting away with your scamming cruelty, trust me when I say, there’s a lot of people involved now and they’re committed to holding every last one of you accountable. So don’t beg once you see how this plays out and definitely don’t shed a tear because you played sadistic victim games long enough so now it’s time to show you that you messed with the wrong family! Now since you like laughing at customers, laugh at that because we absolutely will be laughing at how you bought people into your karma that will also be included in the lesson that you’re not entitled to be malicious then THINK you walk away unsc

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
