About Kip Micuda
My name is Kip Micuda. I practice in family law and I’ve been practicing for about twenty-five years now. I can’t think of too many circumstances if any, where the fit between lawyer and client is more important than in family law matters. Family court cases are fluid. They’re constantly changing. The lawyer’s first interest, first obligation is to help the client get where the client ought to be. But, in addition to that, at least for me, having a personal relationship with my client is often very important. I’m trying to create a personal connection with them that leaves them with no doubt that I care about them, I care about their children and I care about their case.
And, in doing that I often share with them, my parents split up when I was twelve years old and it was very difficult on my brother and I. At one point, we were asked, which parent do you want to go with and I remember very distinctly telling, both my parents, I’m not picking between my parents. I do have some understanding of what they’re going through and in particular, I have some understanding of what their children are going through. I think it gives me a perspective that lawyers that haven’t been through that, don’t have.
Those cases particularly when the children are undergoing some real difficulties, whether it’s trauma from what’s going on between the parents or whatever the case might be. The thing that I always keep in mind is that they rarely have a voice. I tend to take it upon myself that while I’m representing a parent, or a custodian, or a guardian, or a grandparent, whoever, I always try to keep an eye on what’s going on with the children. You’ve just spent a few moments looking at my profile, thank you. I hope that it convinces you that I’m professional, knowledgeable, and that my client’s interests are very important to me. If you’d like to talk to me about representation in a family law matter, I ask that you do so. Please contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is (480) 305-8300. Thank you.
