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.
Finding a divorce attorney is tough. I interviewed several. I hired Kip Micuda because on the initial consultation he appeared very knowledgeable, professional, and seemed to care. Getting to work with Kip I found it somewhat difficult to get timely replies even though he has an assistant. He is not keen on phone calls even though I requested him to call on several occasions as he prefers to communicate largely through email. Also found him to be a passive attorney and not a fighter. In a nasty divorce it helps to have a bulldog in your corner who will work hard every reasonable angle. Kip is a soft spoken professor type. He also appeared to over hype the worst-case scenarios in my divorce, and he did not even catch in my ex- wife’s reply to my petition her attorney was in agreement that no spousal support was warranted. My new attorney caught that and pointed it out to me. That’s significant.I was a client for three months and in the end left extremely disappointed by Kip and Chris Hildebrand the owner. About 2.5 months in I simply questioned a large legal bill which I paid, and shortly afterwards was told they no longer wanted to work on my case even though we never had any real disagreements. I emailed Kip several times very respectfully to try to understand what the issue was as I truly had no idea, see if there way any way to fix it as I was also willing to make changes on my end which I stated, and if we could not fix it then we part on friendly terms like mature adults do. No email response saying why. I then emailed asking to have a 15-minute call to discuss what the issue was like two gentlemen should and do. Again, no response at all. I then emailed Chris H asking for a phone call and also zero response. None. This is from the owner of the company. This is simply not a way to treat a client and it is extremely unprofessional. It is just plain disrespectful, rude, and cold. I am in a very high-end sales profession, and I would never think to treat my customers like this. If there is a problem communicate with your customer.Also, this law firm will absolutely nickel and dime you at every opportunity they get. I have no doubt I was over charged. This law firm is simply not worth the cost and they are not special in any way. Just your typical law firm trying to squeeze what they can from you in a tough period of your life. They are a purely transactional attorneys and not relationship based. They are the kind of attorneys that give their profession a bad reputation.In the end they did me a real favor as I found an excellent attorney who is more much more knowledgeable, communicative, actually cares, and is a fighter. He also has a lower rate and more importantly does not nickel and dime. He will call you too to discuss the case. Call him old school but he is very solid. His name is John Gaertner. Good luck.
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.
