Up Close And Personal
If he wasn't such a good lawyer, you'd swear that
John Merris Noble was in the wrong profession. After
all, his performances on stage are acclaimed in the
media, his office is adorned with theater photos and
memorabilia, and his gallant style reminds you more
of the leading man in "The Sound of Music" the "King & I,"
both roles he has
played on three separate occasions, than the lawyer
amidst his law books. But John Noble is one of
Westmoreland County's best- known attorneys, not
simply because of his theater work, but because of
the skills he has brought to the legal profession
for more than 25 years.
Born and raised in DuBois in western-central
Pennsylvania, John earned his B.A. from Washington &
Jefferson College where he graduated magna cum laude
as an economics major. While his fellow students
elected him Student Court Justice, his athletic
peers selected him the most valuable wrestler on his
college team - as well as achieving all-conference
status in football. John then obtained his law
degree via night school from Duquesne University School of Law in
Pittsburgh, while clerking full-time at Meyer Darragh. Upon graduation, he joined the firm
as an associate.
In March, 1983, John made Greensburg his home and
opened the firm's Westmoreland County office,
allowing the Pittsburgh-based firm to develop its
own local roots in the region's second largest
county which has experienced great growth in the
last two decades. Over the years, John served on
the firm's executive committee and as director
of business development and marketing.
In January of 2009, John departed the firm to
continue an exclusive
alternative dispute resolution practice, offering
mediation and arbitration services on a full-time
basis.
In the community, John is the
person to see at any
musical theatre production, and as founder of The
Westmoreland Night of the Stars, John has raised
over $250,000 for Westmoreland County High School
musical theatre programs in 14 school districts and
for home-schoolers.
To say that John's legal practice is as eclectic as
his stage performances only highlights his
versatility. While historically engaged in
a wide range of litigation and insurance-related
matters over the years, he has distinguished himself
as one of the region's top mediators
and arbitrators, serving Pennsylvania from Erie to
Philadelphia. Whatever his role in the courtroom
or on stage, clients know they get a topnotch
performance from John Noble.
