Chris Hildebrand

Chris Hildebrand decided he wanted to be an attorney when he was a child.

Being the youngest of four children in his family, he saw the struggles his single mother had in taking care of the entire family.

On one particular day, he found his mother upset and crying because someone owed her money she desperately needed to pay the rent.

To this day, he remembers her telling him to never be in a position where people have control over you simply because you can’t afford to hire an attorney.

That day he told his mother he was going to be an attorney when he grew up and that is exactly what he did.

Chris chose family law because he enjoys helping people on a personal level; something he could never do as a corporate attorney. Chris has always been what he refers to as a “protector”.

He has been that way since he was a child. Whether it was the time he was hospitalized for a week when he was twelve years old because he was trying to protect a weaker kid from a bully and got hit in the eye by an object that had been thrown at him (yeah, that didn’t work out very well) or when he had to protect his siblings from the neighborhood bullies.

Chris was the first one to knock on their doors and put an end to the problem using his words, not his fists.

He carries that passion to protect others who are unable to protect themselves in every case.

That is the real fire that fuels the reason Chris practices family law and created Hildebrand Law, PC. Chris still takes on bullies – he just does it in the courtroom now.

Chris passed the Arizona Bar Examination the first time he took it and his career as a “protector” of people and children launched.

Chris has a long history of protecting children in child sexual abuse and physical abuse cases, which he has handled throughout his career.

Many attorneys refer child abuse cases to Chris because of his approach in handling these cases to protect children from abuse.

Chris is regarded as a highly knowledgeable and skilled Arizona divorce lawyer, negotiator, and advocate for his clients’ interests.

With his extensive experience and reputation, Chris has earned the respect of other Arizona divorce lawyers, experts, and judges with whom he has practiced.

He is regularly consulted by other attorneys in the community, who leverage his knowledge and experience to act as a divorce mediator to assist in resolving their own client’s legal matters.

In fact, Chris has been retained by other divorce attorneys to represent them or their friends or family in a divorce and other family law matters.

I am very glad I chose Kent Millward and Hildebrand Law to represent me in my divorce. There was some complexity with my case and Kent took the time to understand the situation thoroughly and apply his knowledge of the law to put me in a situation in which I could negotiate a fair settlement. Throughout the process, I was given accurate information about what I should expect and what the viable options were. Kent did a great job of being firm in negotiations and in arguments before the court while also leaving the door open for an eventual settlement. All my interactions with the firm were very positive and I could not have asked for anything more.I was also represented by Carlos Noel at the firm for estate issues and then some follow-up on my divorce to remove spousal support. Carlos was great, communicated clearly and accurately, and kept fees to a minimum.I would highly recommend the firm to anyone needing representation in such matters.

I had a complex divorce and custody case that few law firms were willing to take because I work overseas. Carlos Noel and Hildebrand took my case and helped me strategize. While they are not cheap, it's worth every penny. They were responsive and thorough and open to feedback/input. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for experts to help navigate this very confusing and complicated terrain. Thank you Carlos and team for helping me close this chapter of my life with tact and professionalism in less than 1 year!

My husband and I would like to express our profound gratitude to Carlos Noel and the entire team at Hildebrand Law. Over the years, they have been our steadfast navigators through various family matters, from custody agreements to estate planning.Carlos, alongside Lindsey, his paralegal, have consistently demonstrated the utmost professionalism. Their expertise is matched only by their compassion, making complex legal processes feel manageable and humane.

I was in a very difficult situation involving divorcing my then husband and fighting for the well-being of my daughter. I discovered Hildebrand and met with Lonnie Sheinson. The first meeting I had with him, I felt at ease and confident that he and the team would fight for me. Lonnie is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and really went to war for me. We ended up winning our trial and I believe it was because of Lonnie's attention to detail and willingness to help that won it for us. I've now moved away from Arizona and Lonnie still will take the time to answer my calls if I have any questions. He's been so helpful and I'm so grateful for Lonnie and his team! If you need a fantastic divorce/ family attorney, Lonnie is the best!

Kip Micuda represented me in a very contentious custody matter. Mr Micuda possesses one of the sharpest legal minds and provides truly compassionate representation for his clients. My children and I are in a much better place due to Mr Micuda's efforts.

The entire team at Hildebrand Law was excellent in every aspect of my custody case. Kent Millward and Karla Spaulding-Huft were fantastic. Everyone was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Their preparation and dedication to my case helped ensure a winning ruling. I have and will continue to refer anyone going through a challenging situation to speak with Chris and his team.

Michael Clancy worked with us on 2 cases. He was thorough and always listened to our concerns and needs. Very professional while still being personable. He and his staff made us feel as though our cases were important and gave us realistic expectations of the outcomes.
