"Lea was the perfect attorney for me. He has a superior knowledge of family law. He was especially helpful to me in discussions about my children and about my finances. He is remarkably sensitive and astute regarding the strong emotional issues experienced by divorcing couples. Yet he was tough when toughness was called for.

"Lea's ethics are above reproach. In my particular case, he advised me not to press certain issues because it would have cost me more in legal fees than I stood to gain. I felt he had my best interest paramount at all times. He was looking out for me, and he never would have taken advantage of me during this difficult time in my life. I will always count him as a supporter and a friend.

"Lea didn't impose a cookie-cutter approach to our negotiations and our ultimate settlement. He was tuned into the realities of my personal strengths and fears. I trusted him totally because I knew that he had my best interest at heart. In the end, Lea helped me achieve a workable and fair settlement, which has paved the way for a positive and healthy post-divorce relationship with my ex-husband. This is something for which I am profoundly grateful, because it is such a positive thing for our children."

"I would give Lea and his assistant, Diane Reed, an A+ for responsiveness. From the moment I first spoke with Diane, I knew that she was someone who would make sure my needs were met and would follow up competently and responsibly on anything that related to my case. I trusted Diane completely, as I did Lea. They make a great team. Everyone in the office — from the attorneys to the receptionist — treated me with professionalism and sensitivity.

"Lea took a strong negotiating stance on issues that were very important to me, and I am very happy with the result. He advised me well on where to bend and where to stand firm. I think our settlement was fair, and I emerged from the entire process with a newfound sense of confidence in myself that has been a very positive thing in my co-parenting relationship with my former husband. Lea treated me with dignity and respect, and this is something that I have carried forward into my new life — and something for which I am profoundly and eternally grateful."

"I have dealt with several family law attorneys over the years; Noelke, English, & Prescott is the only firm that I recommend to others.

"Lea Noelke and his entire staff elevate themselves against others in many ways. The first time I met with Lea, I realized that I had the right group. Noelke, English, & Prescott exceeded all my expectations in resolving my legal issues in an ethical manner. Their expertise of the law was obvious during the entire process. They were always prepared and always made the right decisions.

"Most important, every single person associated with my case at Noelke, English, & Prescott treated me with genuine care and concern. As individuals they are some of the highest quality people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, in any aspect of life. I am grateful to them for their services and blessed to have them as my attorneys."

"Lea Noelke represented me in a Collaborative Law divorce, and it was a very positive experience. The collaborative approach worked out well for us; we ended up with a good settlement that was fair and principled.

"Lea was very timely in keeping the process moving along; I was pleased to have the divorce finalized within 6 months. Lea gave me all the attention that I needed, and he was very ethical and principled. I would readily refer others to him; in fact I already have."

"I have already referred three people to Lea Noelke since my divorce was final eight weeks ago. I found Lea and his legal assistant, Diane, to be focused, conscientious and compassionate about the people they represent. Their personal concern for me and my children came through in phone conversations, e-mails and client meetings.

"I work at a law firm with great attorneys; I know what it takes to be a good lawyer and to service your client. Lea Noelke is a skilled and ethical lawyer. His knowledge, experience and compassion are reflected in the quality of his work. Lea is chameleon-like; he molds his personality to meet the needs of the client, the opposing counsel, and the opposing party. I found it was very important to have a lawyer who can think on his feet and be flexible.

"Lea and his staff were responsive to my needs even though I wasn't the biggest fish in the pond. When you are going through a life-changing situation, you want to make sure everyone is focused on the needs of your children. You want to be treated like you are the only client they have. Lea and Diane always made sure they were presenting me with all the options, and they would counsel me on their thoughts, but the decision was always mine to make — as it should be.

"I think Lea did the very best job he could do for me and my children. If you come out of the divorce process not being bitter, then you have won."
