Wright A. Noel

I have firsthand experience working with Wright Noel of Carson & Noel PLLC. I want to share my experience working with this firm. I was sued by the owners of a house next to a rental property. The owners of that house are both attorneys, though they do not do litigation for their careers. I w...as not the first neighbor who they sued. At least one of the other neighbors they sued was able to secure a voluntary dismissal very quickly. I believe that their case was frivolous. The neighbors represented themselves for several months before eventually hiring an attorney. Rather than aggressively attempt to secure a quick dismissal of the case, Mr. Noel conservatively advised us to consider compromise and to engage the other side in ways that I believe were needlessly expensive. I do not feel like he communicated clearly how and what I would be charged. For example, I was charged for online research fees without my prior approval. Especially on issues of state law, I think it is reasonable to assume that a firm’s hourly fees will cover their expenses incurred in learning the law unless they tell you otherwise. I never saw the firm act more aggressively than when they were pursuing me for payment of their bill. The firm did “win” my case. And they may be a good fit for some clients. But before you hire them, I urge you to make sure that you have a clear understanding of what they will charge you, and that you are comfortable with their approach to your case.
