I was lucky enough to have Mary Ann as my representation when I was going through a difficult time. She was quick to return phone calls and always explained thoroughly what was going on and what the next step would be. She patiently answered every question that I had. Her legal team at office (Maxine-Lauren -Diana) are very nice and professional. I truly believe that she got me the best result possible. I enthusiastically endorse her to anyone who needs legal help.

Mary Ann was recommended to me when I needed an attorney to address child custody issues. I could not have been more satisfied with this recommendation. Mary Ann listens. She is compassionate and caring, yet she is also honest. We have unfortunately had a variety of situations arise and while this has been a stressful, drawn out process, I feel that I have been extremely well represented. Mary Ann is able to take my feelings, frustrations and concerns and succinctly puts them into well written documents. In the end, I have what is most important to me, full custody of my son and I have her to thank for that. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is professional, organized and absolutely knows what she is doing.

I was referred to Mary Ann Noiroux by an acquaintance who was also an attorney, but didn't specialize in Family Law. Let me tell you that was the best referral that I've ever received! I was faced with a divorce involving two minor children after many years of marriage, and to further complicate my situation my now ex-wife is a powerful attorney herself. Outgunned and intimidated, I turned to Mary Ann for relief from a very painful situation. She literally saved my life! She immediately put an end to many unpleasant and harsh conditions, established a level playing ground, and never ceased being a zealous advocate of my rights as father of my children and as the weaker partner in the marriage. Everything that she predicted would happen did happen. She has exceptional maneuverability inside of the court system and is well respected by her peers. Mary Ann, simply stated, is an exceptional attorney with an incredible array of skill sets. I will be forever grateful for what she has done for me! Pat P.

Where can I begin? After my husband walked out on me to have an affair, I thought my life was over. I began searching for an attorney to handle my divorce. I was referred to Mary Ann Noiroux by two friends who had hired her to handle their divorces. They told me she was the best attorney for me. OMG I couldn’t agree more! After our first meeting I knew that Mary Ann would take care of everything. I cried a lot in her office as she comforted and assured me that it was going to be all right. She answered all of my questions and always kept me informed as to what was going on. The whole process went on for quite a while as my now ex-husbands attorney fought against everything I needed. Mary Ann kept calm and fought back even harder. She was my shark. She also has an incredible sense of humor which took some of the pressure and anxiety I felt at times off and I felt that not only was she my attorney but a friend. She could have been a psychologist as well as an attorney! I feel Mary Ann’s fees are reasonable and worth every penny! I can’t thank her enough for incredible ability to take charge, her knowledge of the law, and her kindness, compassion and consideration for who she is representing!

Mary Ann was recommended to me by a friend for my divorce. I was extremely happy with the results. Mary Ann took care of everything and although it was painful for me , she made the whole process relatively easy. However a couple years later when I was hit with an emergency order by my ex husband to have custody removed from me and given to him is when I really needed Mary Ann and her strength. I was in shock , I was scared, I had no idea what to do . But I knew that Mary Ann could handle this for me and my family. Not only did she take care of everything legally she was there every step of the way emotionally as well. No mother wants to stand in front of a judge and be critiqued as a parent, but that is what I had to do . I was confident with Mary Ann by my side. As the case progressed and we continued to rock it , each time going in front of the judge became easier, I could breathe just a little more. After a long legal journey Mary Ann helped me to walk out of that court room with was rightfully mine - Full custody of my daughter and all my court and attorney fees paid in full. I know that custody is an on going battle , but after this past year in court with Mary Ann by my side and the results that came to pass I am no longer afraid of it - like I said in my title I can finally breathe again ! Thank you Mary Ann !

I heard so many wonderful things about Mary Ann, and consulting with her was so comforting. But when I officially met her, my jaw hit the floor. I was in awe of her beautiful aura. Such a wise, brilliant, ethical lawyer with incredible integrity and ethics, driven to protect the rights of her client. I swear, God heard my prayers and brought her to me and I am extremely grateful I have her to help me, protect my children and I, and do her best. She and her amazing paralegal, Kimberly, another beautiful kind soul, are a top notch dynamic duo who strive to do the best they can for the client. Everything Mary Ann does, she does from her heart and with conviction. She is honest, very ethical - especially about her fees and the volume of work to equate what she charges, caring, reliable - just what you would need in a lawyer. Certainly makes up for the sh*tty rotten experience with prior unethical law firm I went to for help. I have been referring her to folks in need of her expertise and confident that she will do the same, go above and beyond, for them. Thank you Mary Ann for coming into my life and for doing all that you possibly could. I am grateful and humbled that you see me as a person and not as a bank account to fleece. You have treated me with respect and kindness, you have not been the stereotypical attorney desensitized and just shuffling paperwork. I appreciate you and Kimberly.

9 years my children and I have been involved in a hostile divorce and Child Custody case. Maryann was recommended to me through a friend. Maryann has been at my side for the past year and she has NEVER waivered. Maryann is confident and knows the law and legal system. Maryann is a straight shooter.. she says what she means and she backs it up. Kimberly, is her assistant. She is amazing as well. Maryann and Kimberly make a dynamic duo..... You want issues resolved in court or with Opposing counsel, CALL Maryann..... it will be the best decision you make to help protect yourself and your children.

I don't usually go on line to write reviews, but am so pleased and relieved at the outcome of my very complex divorce case I feel a need to make my satisfaction known. I just read the previous review and had to smile. Sounds like maybe my EX wrote that to get back at Ms. Noiroux. I'm a pretty good judge of people, and Mary Ann Noiroux sure didn't let me down. I've never seen anyone go into a trial so exhaustively prepared. Each instance that opposing counsel tried to accuse me of something or slither out of something, Mary Ann had the document, the transcript, or the recollection to rebut; and rebut rebut, rebut, she did. I was really nervous to actually have to go to trial (most divorce cases in California settle..but my ex is beyond imagination vengeful and didn't care about costs as long as I was damaged) . The whole Rager and Noiroux team worked together tirelessly and presented an organized, sophisticated legal front that gave me an outcome I could have only hoped for. Because community assets were in the 7 figures, the case involved child abuse, ugly child custody issues, fraud, IRS issues and more, many of my OC friends urged me to find a legal dream team in Los Angeles. Well, I found my dream team, right here in Irvine. Although Mary Ann Noiroux is funny, classy and warm, make no mistake, she's a pitbull in court when she needs to be. Consistently I noted that she chose what was best for me, rather than what would continue the case. In my behalf, she made settlement offer after settlement offer and kept careful minute by minute records of how reasonable I had been throughout this lengthy case. No doubt that fact, coupled with her exhaustive, catalogued, records of such, held sway with the judge. From Day One, she kept careful records so that when we finally, unfortunately, had to prepare for trial, we were able to present an organized, compelling story that justified my request for attorney's fees and costs, child support, spousal and a favorable property settlement division.

I strongly do not recommend Marry Ann as a reliable lawyer for your divorce case. Her service was so unprofessional with lots of unnecessary and unexplained charges, very disorganized with a very bad result and negative attitude that i could not stop myself from warning people. I hired her to represent me in my divorce case which was not complicated, on the first meeting she gave me lots of promises and assurance to get me hire her. As soon as i hired her, her tone change. She finished her retainer fees with lots of unnecessary charges so quickly and then she revealed the truth about her services knowing that I was stuck with her. She Charged me 22K even before the first appearance on the court and she dragged everything and Made lots of unnecessary charges without result. whenever you ask her question regarding your case she would make you feel so dumb about yourself. In my experience, Marry Ann will drag the case as long as she can to make more money. She never Prepares herself before the appointment and More than half of every single meeting i had with her was spent on reminding her about the details of my case by repeating the same old information over and over that she already had in her files and she would charge me for the full session even though she was never prepared. She does not take criticism well, she gets upset when you complain about her unreasonable bills or strategy. Eventually she gave away a set of key documents to my husbands attorney without my permission or consulting with me and it cost me my case. After i told her i want to settle the case and not go to the court, She left me a voice mail that she wont represent me anymore just 2 days before my court date and she left me without representation. Because she realized if i settle she wont make money out of me any more so she decided to drop me. Stay away and find another attorney. Strongly advice against hiring Marry Ann.
