Katherine J. Noel

I have used Ms. Noel for several legal matters. The first being my divorce back in 2005. First and foremost, her rates were extremely reasonable when compared to others in town. She was able to explain the process, and make it so much less painful than it already was. She was very honest, did not ...sugarcoat things, but was kind while doing it. She never seemed to have a problem to answer any questions that I had, even though I know she was extremely busy. She was able to help facilitate an agreement where my ex husband and I never had to go to Court, but we were both happy with the end result. Recently, I have found myself in an abusive marriage. Kathy stopped what she was doing in the middle of her work day, to come to the courthouse with me, so that I was able to obtain a protective order for both my son and myself. Her main goal has always seemed to be to get what is best for her clients, and that they are happy with the end result. I have recommended her to many friends, and I know that the majority of them have gone to her for help.

Ms. Noel handled my divorce case, which was extremely complex due to a huge custody battle. During that time, she was very professional and did everything possible to make sure my case had a favorable outcome. She and her staff took the time to get to know my situation and my family and I was alway...s in the loop about my case. She was very knowledgeable and knew what steps I needed to take to ensure that I kept custody of my child, including obtaining a Guardian Ad Litem. I have never had another attorney fight as hard for what I wanted as Ms. Noel did in my divorce case. After my divorce case, she handled another subsequent custody issue and support related matter for me along with other civil litigation matters for me. Each time I was treated with the same professional and personal manner. Not only would I recommend her to other people, I won't use anyone else other than her.

I hired Kathy for a divorce/custody case. She lacked preparation leading up to the many trials during the proceedings. She was handed legally obtained video evidence of abuse of my children and allowed it to be deemed inadmissable with no arguement. Horrible in the court room and had no knowledge of ...the evidence presented to her.
