PLEASE CALL MY OFFICE AT TO DETERMINE MY AVAILABLITY AND ENSURE I HAVE NO LEGAL CONFLICTS.
If you do send me an email, please do not include any confidential, secret, or otherwise sensitive information concerning any potential or actual legal matter in your email message. Unsolicited emails do not create an attorney-client relationship and confidential or secret information included in such emails cannot be protected from disclosure. I do not have a duty or legal obligation to keep confidential any information that you provide to me, until an attorney-client relationship has been established. PLEASE CALL MY OFFICE at to allow my staff to complete a conflict check and schedule an appointment according to our respective calendars and/or availability, particularly if you believe you have a time sensitive issue (as my court and client time may prohibit a timely response via email from me). Please note that I only practice in Cowlitz County, Washington.
You can see by the website how the "rating" is calculated. However, potential clients should not consider my rating as a determining factor in whether or not you desire to use my services. Each case is different, and a personal consultation is the best way for both of us to determine if we are a good "fit" for your case. Client reviews, while appreciated, are not a determining factor that you will have the same or likely result in your case, as all cases are different and based upon different factors.
I have been practicing law (family and criminal) since 1993, and have focused my practice solely on family law issues since 2004. I feel very privileged to meet and work with my clients. I hope my clients view my work and involvement in their cases as a positive experience, despite the typically difficult legal situation that has resulted in our professional relationship. I feel very fortunate to have friendly and diligent staff, and they are certainly one of my best assets. I hope you have the opportunity to meet and get to know them.
On a personal note, I am married with two children. I love the outdoors (fishing and golf, primarily), and I'm dedicated to giving back to the community. I continue to donate my professional time to Cowlitz Wahkiakum Legal Aid. I am involved in Epsilon Sigma Alpha - a philanthropic sorority - where our fundraising efforts help to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Easter Seals, and other local organizations. In addition, as a past board member for the Salvation Army, I believe in the Salvation Army's mission in providing meals, clothing, and other assistance to those less fortunate.
I hope you consider allowing me to help you navigate the laws involved in your family law case.

Dissolution
After nearly 37 years of marriage, circumstances were such that my marriage needed to come to a close.

Expertise wins the case
We were served with child support modification papers within one month of getting married. My husband has hired attorneys in the past and has never come out on top so to say the least he was ready to just give in. I, however, was not willing to give up so easily as there was a chance that the child...

Great Legal Representation
Noelle McLean and her staff provided me with excellent representation. I normally do not write reviews, however Noelle McLean and her staff deserve one. Initially faced with divorce, I was unsure of whom to talk to. A good friend of mine recommended Noelle McLean and that is how my association...

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Noelle since she began practicing law. She is conscientious in everything she does and has an excellent reputation in the legal community."
"I have known and worked with Noelle since she first obtained her license to practice law, and have always been amazed at the level of dedication she puts into her representation of her clients. Few lawyers are better prepared, nor more versed in the applicable law on a given case. I have recommended her to both family and friends and have never had a regret in doing so."
