Noelle M Halaby

Noelle Halaby is an excellent family law attorney, and working with her and her office is a very good experience. Noelle is very knowledgeable, explains things clearly in a way that a lay person can understand, is practical, and is forceful when appropriate to further her clients’ interests. Sh...e and all of her staff are very responsive and professional. Noelle is exponentially better than my prior attorney. I began the marriage dissolution process with another attorney. I wish had known of Noelle at the outset.

Luckily Noelle was recommended to me by the first attorney I had consulted with after I was served an hour after that appointment. I immediately hired Noelle during my first consultation with her. She represented me in my legal separation, and then my divorce 8 years later. Besides her extensive exp...erience and expert strategies, it was invaluable to have an attorney who obviously was also understanding of the emotional stress that accompanies these situations. Noelle and her terrific staff were always responsive to my needs and I always felt that I was treated as more than just a client. I know I will have a need to call on Noelle again for her expert help, but fortunately, I am relieved to know that I'll be represented by a truly great attorney.

I called her for consultation based on a previously assigned appointment. I am not her client and I will never be. I had an appointment at 1:00 pm to talk to her and I could hear her over the phone telling her secretary that she has forgotten about the appointment while she was having lunch. 5 min...utes of talking to her, and she starts judging me. It is very easy to judge Ms. Halaby! You are crude, AGGRESSIVE, arrogant, short tempered with very poor phone manners. I keep telling you that I have a criminal attorney that does not practice family law. And I am in the need of a family law attorney and you keep telling me "if you are not happy with your present family lawyer as your present lawyer" ... and I keep insisting that my present lawyer only fights DVROs and does not practice family law. Ms. Halaby manages to snap at me when I mention this again! And she goes on to say "I do not have any relationship with you, not my client and I would not help you" because she got offended by me keep telling her that my existing attorney does not practice family law, repeatedly! This is just a 10 minute consultation and she is behaving so unprofessionally. Ms. Halaby, after you enjoy your lunch, brush up on your law skills and educate yourself with the differences between criminal attorney and family lawyers and functions of each one! While you're at it PLEASE adapt some proper phone manners. Your inner anger is not based on me or about me. Its from your past that you are bringing into the present. I have done nothing wrong to experience your wrath. You lack compassion and humanity. Even if you can't, won't or want to take me as a client, you can have some professional courtesy to refrain from projecting your anger on me, as a person in time of need. At no time I was trying or having any intention to be rude to you. You see what you want to see. It won't cost you anything to be nice or control your temper temporarily! In response to Ms. Halaby's comments: Since I see zero accountability on your behalf and memory lapse of how poorly you treated me on the phone, I will post my experience with all the related sites, so you might develop a recollection of the facts. I was referred to you by a dear friend. If you had ANY respect for him, you would have treated me with an ounce of respect. You are an embarrassment. If respect and dignity was not a foreign language to you, you would not acted the way you did. Instead of running to him, like a cry baby, you should adjust your behavior, take responsibility for your actions and be honest. Time to self reflect. Be very careful of the content of your response. Trying to impact my character based on allegations that you do not know anything about and trying to spell it out what DVRO stands for, you are just displaying lack of boundaries and clearly you are stepping out of legal lines. Defaming my character by suggestion and shifting your flaws toward me is a clear act of irresponsibility and poor ethical behavior. You are just upset by me exposing your shallow and poor behavior based on facts! Ms. Halaby, a solid mind, that is capable of strong communication does not hang up the phone like an immature or unstable individual as you have presented yourself. In life pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. It is a free country. You have the right to be wrong and suffer the consequences of your behavior. You are rude, irresponsible and lack compassion. Response from the owner I cannot comment on private conversations, even with potential clients. So I will not do so here - but suffice it to say that I do not share the same recollection of what occurred. For some of you who may not know "DVRO", as referenced in the message above, stands for Domestic Violence Restraining Order.
