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... with her started. Upon arrival at Noelle's office for the first time I was greeted by her warm and friendly staff. They worked me into Noelle's schedule quite quickly. During the initial stages of the divorce I interacted with Noelle and the staff on a regular basis. It comforted me to know all that was happening when it happened rather than days afterward. Noelle impressed me with her legal knowledge as well as pointing out things that I had not thought of. When I was represented during legal proceedings, she expressed my point of view well. I appreciate how our discussions were "with me" rather than "at me". This meant a lot to me as I was apprehensive at times. Her sanguine advice allowed me to be more at ease. During the proceedings, I was able to ask questions about the process and receive clear answers. During the whole process, I was treated with kindness and respect by Noelle and her staff. As Noelle was very busy, I interacted with the staff often and found them to be quite proficient. I enjoyed how they new my name upon arrival and were able to schedule me as needed (I have a difficult work schedule). I highly recommend Noelle McLean as an attorney.

Noelle's Review

Noelle was wonderful, she kept me in the "loop", always returned my email immediately, when possible, and was very knowledgeable and tried very hard to educate me regarding my case and Wa State laws. Very informative.

Fantastic!

From the very first consultation to the final result, we felt confident that Noelle and her wonderful staff were doing everything possible for us and our case. They went above and beyond. Very easy to talk to, quick answers to our questions, we always felt that we had their full attention. We coul...d not have hoped for a better Attorney and her Office Staff always made us feel welcomed. When I tell our friends who we used, the answer is always "She is awesome, you hired the best!".

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome

Awesome says it all! I walked into her office with four binders full of paperwork for my divorce. The first thing I said was for her to represent me, she had to know me. This lady now knows me better than I know me. By the time we had our first court appearance, Noelle knew exactly where every do...cument was located in the binders. She is a workaholic; working early, late and weekends. If she told me I would have something by a certain date, it was there. There is just no words to express how grateful I am to this lady and her staff. They gave me my life back. I love all of them and would highly recommend them to anyone and I have done so. Anyone wanting an attorney who is dependable, knowledgeable and has the most awesome memory, you need to hire Noelle. She is very professional, polite, and fun to work with. Trust me, I wouldn't trade her for anyone else.

Knowledgable and Professional

Noelle Mclean is by far the best attorney anyone could ask for. She helped me get full custody of my daughter and helped make sure that my daughter wouldn’t have to go back to a detrimental living environment. While working with her, I felt as if she truly cared about both myself and my daughter. ...She was very knowledgeable and professional through the whole legal process. Her staff was also very friendly and open to answer questions or concerns that I had. Noelle kept an open line of communication with me during the whole process and explained everything to me in great detail. She was able to listen to me when I had concerns and knew all the proper steps that would ultimately not only benefit me, but also my child. She was easy to get a hold of and was very quick to respond to emails. She has an amazing memory and remembered even the smallest details when it came to my case. I can’t thank her enough for changing both my daughter and my life. Noelle is very committed to helping others and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of legal assistance.
