Noelle is the best, of the best! I would highly recommend her!

Noelle is the one of the most capable, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney's I've worked with in Family Court. She understands highly complex cases and is respected by Judges and her Peers. Noelle knows how to be strategic and take charge of the situation. Having a skilled professional like her ...to help sort through the chaos of a divorce, has been very reassuring. She has been willing go the extra mile, to get things done right! Noelle really cares about her clients, it shows through her hard work and dedication. Above all, she cares about the children that are affected by the trauma of separation, conflict between parents and the overall impact of the flawed Los Angeles County judicial system. Noelle continues to guide and advise me, through the challenges of co-parenting. I would highly recommend Noelle, as she is honest, reliable, and patient. Most importantly, she gets the job done right!

Determined and Compassionate

Noelle has helped save our lives. I was originally divorced with two small children in 2015. My Ex is crazy (abusive and violent), she has endless pockets (euro-royalty) and thus is intent on committing legal warfare and will hire upto 5-6 lawyers concurrently to open up different cases to drown me. ...Noelle was the only one to get this under control (more on our story at the end). Noelle is smart, capable and strategic. She has decades of experience yet is still quick to think on her feet. She is a great litigator and will respectfully hold her own in any court room. She will NOT lie for OR to you. She will do the right thing for you. She is well known by LA family court judges for being honest and fair an has a strong rapport with most courtrooms. I have been dragged around many and very few don't know her well by face an name. She will help get your case in best possible spot. She will be honest and tell you things you don't want to hear, but they will be true. She will temper your asks and put you in a reasonable mindset with what is possible. She and her associates (Amneh and Maria) are kind hearted deep down but are firm in court. They will not allow you to get abused and pushed around because most importantly, Noelle cares. She is the BEST family law litigator and counselor I have ever worked with. I've had the big ticket firms (MOLM) and the budget guys (smaller, discount practices) but Noelle is the only one who could make a difference. I went through 4 different firms before I found Noelle and regret it every day as I wish we started with her. When I decided to leave my wife for punching me in the face repeatedly, our family was almost retired with ~$9M in assets. 7 years later, I am bankrupt now. That IS NOT NOELLE's fault at all. She came onto my case 2 years ago, after most of this damage had been done. Immediately, she helped put our case in the right direction, surfacing years of abuse and cover-up litigation from my ex-wife. Noelle did more in those 4 months that the other lawyers did in 6 years of wasting millions. On the eve of finally gaining full custody of my children due to this abuse, my ex-wife decided to go full nuclear and file false abuse allegations against me. This took the case out of Noelle's hands, into DCFS an Criminal courts. Noelle stuck with us still still, put me in the right direction with counsel in those 2 other courts and even helped those lawyers in strategy in getting both those fake cases dismissed. We then took all those findings back to family court and got protection for my kids and myself. Ultimately, Noelle was able to get protection for me and my kids for an extremely abusive and messed up case in only 10 actual months of working with me (with a 1.5y hiatus due to the false abuse allegations). It says something about her legal prowess that she was able to put my ex-wife's 3-4 counsels into such a poor legal position within 4 months, that my ex-wife had to go full Amber Heard and falsify abuse allegations to stop Noelle's momentum. She was getting the truth out and the only thing that stopped Noelle help the kids and I were false criminal allegations. While I know my case (and ex) are not normal, I think our case displays all of Noelle's strength's, experience and honor. She stuck with me and really cared about my children and I. She worked hard on her own time to help my other cases (related but not represented by her) and even extended generosity to me in her time in moments of need. She refused to leave my children and I in a horrible situation that she had no real part in creating (except from her winning that drove my ex-wife to perjure herself). If you need competency and experience in your corner, Noelle is the only choice from our exp.

Excellent Attorney with On-Going Loyalty

Noelle Halaby Law Office is simply the best of the best. Child custody battles are extremely complicated, especially when you're dealing with jurisdictional issues. I was completely stressed out until I retained Noelle Halaby as my Attorney. Noelle and her entire staff including Amneh, Amira, Yvette,... and Tamara are knowledgeable, reliable, professional, sincere and caring. Noelle and Amneh are more than just Attorneys, they are are compassionate warriors, who will hold your hand through everything and swing their sword on your behalf in the court room. I'm extremely grateful for all their help and I highly recommend Noelle Halaby's office for all aspects of family law!

An attorney with a conscious

I hate to stereotype any human being however the world we live in is so cruel and has done me wrong way too long that I had lost faith in God, in the justice system and more than anything humanity of the people I was dealing with. I filed for divorce 10 years ago, I was introduced to four divorce at...torneys one after another through the process who supposedly were experts in their field. I spent total of 120 thousands dollars by selling my belongings and maxing out all my credit cards. All of them one after another kept maxing out my expenses with their firm, never finished my file, never took the time to look at me and my two boys as actual human beings. They looked us as FILE NUMBER this VS that. They never knew how to navigate the court system nor had the expertise to be able to assertively solve my file and get me the hell out of the spider web of divorce court. Finally I was introduced to Noelle Halaby law firm by my family friend. The day I went in to get my consult with her was the day I realized this attorney was going to finish my case. I had never seen an attorney have tears in their eyes as I was explaining what I had gone through. I came from an abusive marriage and the moment she saw the tears in my eyes and listened to what I had to say, looked me in the eye and said: “ you will no longer cry, you will no longer be afraid or have tears in your eyes, you will start a new life from now on and I will make sure I get you there” I decided to hire her on the spot and a year later I am writing this review as I believe from every inch of my heart that she has earned this. She was able to navigate the system with assertiveness and did not accept anything as just an alternative. She wanted my boys and I to come out as victors and did not want me to lose hope again. Now I have my boys with me, I have a new life and have moved on from the trauma that was haunting me for a decade. Thank you so much for what you have done for my boys and I. We are grateful

Excellent Results & an Excellent Person

Noelle handled my high-conflict divorce and child-custody issues with skill and care. Divorce law and family court are like a hostile foreign country, but Noelle knows the language and all the laws and customs of that rough land and is a wise, experienced guide. I would not hesitate to recommend her... to anyone in their time of need. Additionally, her office is staffed by skilled, reliable and pleasant folks with very little turn-over, which is an excellent sign of quality management. It also makes enduring a difficult situation just a little bit easier.
