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!

Noelle Halaby is extremely strong and compassionate, patient and knows the law- She was able to keep me calm and confident during this process- Noelle stands her ground without aggravating the other side- I would of blown this up if it wasn’t for her. She came highly recommended by attorney who does... not practice this law- I made it through, thanks to her. Bonus- Her staff rocks!!!

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.

Noelle is the best family law attorney

She is truly an answer to my prayers. She is ethical and honest. I had 3 lawyers that wasted my money and time. When I hired Noelle I got the results I wanted within a few short months and spent less than half the money. She is so talented and knowledgeable at what she does. She provided the evidence... and the arguments needed to get my case settled with the most positive outcome. I am so grateful to all get help and guidance through out the process. She is the only family lawyer I will ever work with.

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!
