Up Close And Personal
If he wasn't such an effective mediator, you'd
swear that John Noble was in the wrong profession.
After all, his performances on the stage have been
widely acclaimed in the media as is evidenced by his
Noble Mediation conference room - adorned with
theater photos and memorabilia. More than the lawyer
amidst his law books, his style reminds you of the
leading man in "The Sound of Music" and the "King &
I," both roles he has played on three separate
occasions over the years. John Noble is also one of
Westmoreland County's best-known attorneys - not
simply because of his professional
prominence and
body of work on the stage, but also what he has
brought to the Palace Theatre through the
Westmoreland Trust as the perennial Master of
Ceremonies of many a Trust event including the
annual “Hollywood Party at the Palace” which was
recently honored as one of the “tantalizing twelve"
cultural events of the year.
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 twice 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 Buckler Bebenek & Eck
and, upon graduation, joined the firm as an
associate in the Pittsburgh office.
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. At the age of 38, John was one of the
youngest partners ever to be appointed to the firm’s
Managing Executive Committee as well as serving as
Director of Business Development and Marketing
firm-wide.
Primarily due to the extreme demand, John
departed his long-time firm in January of 2009 to
continue an exclusive Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR) practice, offering mediation and arbitration
services on a full-time basis throughout
Pennsylvania.
In the community, if John is not reading to local
elementary students as “Dr. Seuss” or leading the
sing-along at the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit
“Breakfast with Santa”, John is the person to see at
any high school musical theatre production. As
founder of The Westmoreland Night of the Stars in
1997, John has raised over $325,000 for Westmoreland
County High School musical theatre programs in 16
school districts as well as for the home-schooled
students.
To say that John's law 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,
regularly serving Pennsylvania from Erie to
Philadelphia. Whatever his role in the community,
courtroom or the stage, the audience knows they get
a topnotch performance from John Noble.
