Professional

Lee was recommended to me by a friend, and I hired Lee several years ago for a consultation. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Excellent Ethical Attorney

Lea is both an excellent attorney, but is also one of the most ethical and honest individuals I've ever met.

Posted by Tiffany | November 21, 2011 | Divorce & Separation

An Attorney Who's Tough but Full of Integrity

I met with Mr. Noelke after trying collaboration for six months. He "got" my story within the first 5 minutes of our meeting. He is a person who is not only experienced, honest, and full of integrity but also tough when he needs to be. I trust his counsel as a professional and as a friend. He mad...e me feel comfortable with the divorce process and made sure I was prepared for court. He has a wonderful team who makes you feel like the most important client in the firm and is wonderfully supportive and responsive. He and his firm are well respected at the courthouse. If you want an ethical attorney who gets the results you expect to receive, hire Lea Noelke.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Lea has the experience, as well as excellent legal ability and trial skills necessary to handle the most complex of cases. He is a pleasure to work with when he represents the other side. He doesn't let the children get lost in the process of getting the parents disentangled, which is a trait I very much admire."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
