Miller Canfield Expands Immigration Practice with Addition of Attorney Rebecca Noeske

December 5, 2025

Miller Canfield is pleased to welcome attorney Rebecca Noeske, enhancing the firm's immigration team, which is recognized for guiding employers, universities, health systems, and individuals through today's rapidly evolving immigration landscape.

Noeske brings significant experience counseling clients through employment-based and family-based immigration processes, including high-skilled petitions in the O-1 and EB categories. She joins the firm from Ellis Porter PLC in Troy, Michigan, where she developed a strong practice representing companies and professionals across multiple industries.

"We're happy to have Rebecca on board," said Miller Canfield CEO Michael Palizzi. "She is a highly skilled immigration lawyer who understands the increasingly complex landscape facing employers and individuals. Her experience deepens our capabilities and enhances the sophisticated service our clients rely on."

Noeske earned her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and her undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Michigan, graduating with distinction. Her background includes work with leading immigration law firms, an internship with former Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget McCormack, and public service experience in Washington, D.C.

Miller Canfield's Immigration Practice represents employers, universities, health systems and global workforces in all areas of business immigration, including specialty occupation visas, employment-based permanent residence, high-skilled categories, I-9 compliance and strategic mobility planning. The group continues to grow to meet rising client demand driven by evolving federal policy and global talent needs.

"Rebecca's arrival reflects our commitment to expanding our bench and helping clients navigate the immigration challenges shaping today's global economy," Palizzi added.

Noeske will be based in the firm's Detroit office.
