Noelle McLean- 5 Star Lawyer

Noelle is a true professional and an excellent lawyer! Her (and her office support team) is extremely organized, thorough, and timely in all aspects. You can tell how experienced she is within minutes of speaking to her and very knowledgeable with the law and court systems. Noelle is the lawyer that ...you want on your team and not the other way around. As a father, I truly felt represented and would highly recommend!

A good Lawyer is a smart idea.

Noelle and her team provided Incredible information that I would have never known. So well versed is Noelle in her area of Divorce Law. I thought I Knew what my settlement was going to be just doing the math myself and I was so wrong. Lot of information was asked of me and took a bit of time and effo...rt to get but in the end I understood why and it was well worth the time and effort. An incredible job by the entire office. Very very sensitive about my situation and non judgmental. The communication was great. I was kept up on all the information passed back and forth. All the information from the other lawyers office about our case was passed on to me in a timely fashion. I have nothing but great things to say for Noelle and her team.

Best lawyer for divorce

Noelle and her team were fantastic through out my divorce proceedings. We had several obstacles that we had to face, and Noelle and her team Amanda, Trish, and Dana were so very professional, and supportive to help me through these. I truly believe if I did not have their support I would have given... up. This case was unprecedented, but with Noelle’s knowledge and experience it clearly made a difference in the outcome. I can not thank her enough. I highly recommend Noelle McLean.

Made getting a divorce a little less stressful

Noelle truly cares about her clients and strives for a positive outcome in her cases. Although hiring an attorney is expensive, Noelle's priority is her client. Her office staff are very helpful and friendly, and you're greeted with a smile every time you walk through the door. The petitioners' ...attorney in my case was clearly out-gunned by Noelle. Her knowledge, professionalism, and expertise makes for a formidable adversary to anyone. We were faced with a petitioner who attempted to mislead the courts by claiming to have a much smaller income then what he/she actually had and was asking for an outrageous amount of spousal maintenance and attorney fees. We provided documents that completely contradicted their claims and a couple of days later they contacted us asking if we would be willing to settle out of court. We had a couple more stumbling blocks along the way that was due to either the opposing attorney giving bad advice, or his client not following his advice. In the end the petitioner contacted me and asked that we settle out of court prior to our trial; I only ended up with my own attorney fees which is money well spent considering I was looking at over $25000 if I lost. I would definitely hire Noelle again in any family law case.
