Noelle Angela McLean

Very professional attorney, yet incredibly sincere and helpful. Extremely pleased with how quickly Noelle resolved my case. Completely stress free and the communication during the process could not have been better, outstanding! It was very comforting to have someone smart, logical, calm and efficien...t in my corner. Noelle is a phenomenal attorney. Hands down #1

I literally spent approximately 50K getting custody of my son Nick. When I went through my divorce, a different attorney said since she was the primary caretaker while you worked, you will spend 10k in attorney fees and you still wont get your toddler. What the attorney didn't say was that if you do...n't petition for custody at the beginning, if for any reason you need to try for custody later it will be 100 times harder. Why? Because in the courts eyes if you don't try initially, if your ex withholds visitation, the court really doesn't care. My ex lived in Longview/Kelso and I lived 150 miles away. She assaulted her mom, my son, and would later assault one of her other son's. During our marriage she assaulted me. The Guardian Ad Litem ignored her pattern. I went 45 days not seeing my baby son, spent 3K in attorneys fees, lost wages, and driving all the way to Longview and all day in court just to get the first contempt. My ex tried to keep us from taking him to Disneyland, because the paperwork said upon completion of the school year the father will have visitation...Well he was only five and not in school yet, so she didn't show up. Another 1500 dollars and emergency trip to court, the judge made her hand him over. I could go on and on, but after five contempts and driving her to bankruptcy we finally got custody. The amount of money we spent 17 years later is still felt. It took almost eight years and Noelle was my attorney the whole time! She is very very thorough and understands how men have such a disadvantage in the state of Washington. I always say attorneys are like dealers at a casino, whether you win or lose, they still get paid. Most attorneys will tell you what you want to here, just so you will hire them and then make up an excuse for when you lose. Noelle isn't that way. She tells you the risks! She isn't cheap, but many times my ex would pull some stunt like the Disneyland no show, or when she finally said I have had enough you can custody of Nick, Noelle was drawing up the paperwork and ready to go to court that day!!! She is a busy lady and may not always able to take your call, but trust me, when you truly need her right now, she is so there for you. I can't thank her enough for all she has done. I truly care about her and hope her and her not so new hubby are doing awesome. Sincerely Jason
