Carlos Noel grew up in Texas and attended law school in Omaha, Nebraska. After graduation, he practiced in Nebraska for five years before leaving for the warmer climate of Arizona.
Carlos brings sixteen years of legal experience with him to Hildebrand Law, P.C. Prior to joining the firm, Carlos was an Arizona Assistant Attorney General for nine years and represented the Division of Child Support Services.
In that role, he provided legal advice to the agency and represented it in child support hearings. He also conducted training lectures for his fellow attorneys and the Division of Child Support Services.
His article, “International Child Support Cases” was published in the Maricopa County Bar Association Family Law Section Newsletter.
“After nine years in public service and helping Arizona families on a large scale, I wanted to do more to help individual parties. While representing the State, my role was limited, and I was unable to provide legal advice to parties. I saw firsthand the pitfalls that parties encountered when navigating the court system. I now have the opportunity to use my knowledge and experience to thoroughly help from start to finish.
Since entering private practice, I have had substantial involvement in cases involving high asset divorce cases, valuation and division of business interests in a divorce, high conflict child custody cases, complex jurisdictional cases, and Hague Convention cases.
I worked with Mr. Noel and his paralegal Stephanie during a very anxious and trying time in my life. There were so many unknowns, so many facets to the situation, so much emotion, and Mr. Noel not only answered my questions, but provided a foundation of security and stability that helped me navigate difficult decision making, helped ground me and my ability to think rationally, and truly provided exactly what I needed to ensure my children’s well being was prioritized. His paralegal Stephanie was incredible and both of them were extremely responsive, personable, and communicative- answering all of my questions going above and beyond. I have extreme gratitude for finding Mr. Noel. I recommend them HIGHLY.
Very grateful to have found Carlos to represent myself and my family as our attorney during a difficult time that I hope less and less people find themselves in. If you are here looking for a trustworthy attorney who will explain things clearly to you, help you understand the complexities of the legal system with grace, and listen to you, I recommend at least having your initial consult with Carlos.
Carlos Noel is a fantastic family attorney. We contacted him based on a personal referral. My family was grateful for his integrity and willingness to listen. He helped us navigate the law and the complex conversations for all parties. When you need an expert in family law, Hildebrand law is a law office you should consider. I think you will discover after your initial conversation why we chose him to represent my family.
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!
