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.

Dissolution

After nearly 37 years of marriage, circumstances were such that my marriage needed to come to a close. Having come from a family with little history of divorce ( parents happily married for 65yrs ) I was very hesitant to take this big step. Not knowing how or who to start this process with, I turned... to this site and reviewed all the family law attorneys here. Thanks to very honest reviews I was able to select Noelle. My choice was great. From the first consultation to the last final meeting of what I refer to as the "closing ceremony", Noelle and her staff were there for me. They are knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. I was so scared and fearful going into this process and afraid of being intimidated, but after stepping through the door I never felt that way again. She took on my case and had it closed and cleanly wrapped up in the least amount of time possible. I am highly recommending Noelle McLean to anyone needing family law representation. Thanks to her and her staff I now have my life back.

The Best Family Law Attorney in the SW Washington Area

Noelle is highly respected in the SW Washington area and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Noelle represented me in my dissolution case. My case became somewhat complicated, because it was such of rare circumstances. She was instrumental in working with her legal partners in the community t...o gather information to provide me with the best representation in my case. Noelle communicated with me every step of the way. Her staff was also amazing in providing assistance. They are all highly professional individuals and I am forever grateful for their assistance. Noelle was able to get my dog back that my partner had taken. Noelle presented a strong case before a Superior Court Judge and the Judge agreed with Noelle's arguments and evidence she presented. He ruled that the dog be returned to me. This was the biggest part of my case, because the dog was like a child to me. I knew if I wasn't able to get him back, he likely wouldn't have received the love and care he deserved. I am forever grateful for Noelle McLean and her staff. I would recommend her to anyone that needs the strongest legal representation out there.

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.
