Christina Noz

Christina’s legal practice focuses on estate planning and trust and estate administration.  She develops estate plans that clearly reflect each client’s wishes and the legacy they want to leave. 

Christina began her career helping donors plan their philanthropic legacies at the Lucile Packard Foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Following law school, she became a trust officer for a state-chartered trust company where she worked for a decade as a corporate fiduciary administering trusts and estates.  There, she excelled as part of a team of professionals who helped clients and trust beneficiaries navigate financial, legal, and tax considerations.  Christina wore many hats while at the trust company, including leading the trust department for eight years, serving as a member of the executive team, and overseeing risk management and contract review.  In 2020, Christina transitioned to private law practice and joined the firm in 2024. 

Christina is a member of the Arizona and California State Bar Associations.  She also currently serves on the boards of Arizona Public Media, Pima Council on Aging, and Southern Arizona Estate Planning Council.
