Grateful for Noelle

Our case is a very sad and tragic one...our daughter and her boyfriend were killed by a drunk driver on 8/9/08 leaving behind their son who turned 1 yr.old eleven days after they were killed. Our case was for non-parental custody of our grandson. Noelle was the second attorney we contacted for help a...nd our only regret was we didn't seek her counsel first. She is a professional, strong and knowledgeable in word and writing, She is also very human, compassionate and kind with an endearing sense of humor. She is understanding, patient, and hears what you say. She provides a comfortable setting to deal with matters of the heart and also provides prompt informative legal advice. A difficult balance but one she does with integrity. Noelle also has a staff who are kind, friendly, and professional from the initial contact through the entire process.We are truly grateful for her representation and would absolutely seek her help for any future matters...she is the best!

Noelle is the best!!!!

Noelle McLean was a Godsend to me! She helped me get my daughter back after she was taken from me due to my drug addiction. Of course, I had to turn my life around and stay clean and sober (6 1/2 years now), but even after that it was very difficult to get her back. Noelle not only did her very best,... she truely cared about me and my daughter. In my exerience with other attorneys I've felt like I was just a way for them to make money and they didn't really care. Noelle is not like that. She believes in what she is fighting for and she brings all of her knowledge and her heart to the table. She always listened to me and she always kept me informed about what was going on. She is very professional and kind, as are her employees in the office. They always cheered me on and kept me optimistic. She truely changed my life. I still keep in touch with her & I know that she will always be in my corner. I can't say that for any other attorney I've ever dealt with. Thank you Noelle. I will always be greatful to you.

Exceptional Attorney

Noelle is a fantastic attorney who knows the law. She will give you realistic expectations. I highly recommend her for any child custody case, especially if things will get a little messy. She is expensive, but she is worth every penny. Also, she is a good person with a good heart. Hard to find ...in a lawyer!

Excellent Experience

My husband and I hired Noelle to help us with a custody issue. We were very pleased with her representation. She listened to us, returned our calls promptly, communicated well by email, called us regularly to tell us what was going on, informed us the whole way about what to expect and generally di...d a fantastic job all the way around. We would never use anyone else. (P.S. She had great staff, too). Her rates were reasonable and we never walked into the courtroom for any hearing without being completely prepared. She spoke well and was a good negotiator with the other attorney. We would recommend her to anyone. Her advice was sound, even when we didn't like it, and we listened. We came out on top of the situation, won custody and couldn't be more appreciative of all her efforts.
