From the Valley to Doney Park—Here to Serve Flagstaff’s Veterans and Families

Hi, I’m Kara Noble—homeschool boy mom, wife, and founder of Obsidian Ridge Law. Though we’re new to Doney Park, we’re not new to Arizona. My family spent years escaping to Northern Arizona before finally making it our full-time home.

We love the mountains, the slower pace, and the strong sense of community. We’re new chicken parents, outdoor adventurers, and most weekends you’ll find us at a kids’ event or at church, settling into life here.

As the only VA-accredited private attorney based in Flagstaff, I’m proud to serve local Veterans, families, and small business owners with flat-fee estate and legal planning that’s clear, approachable, and genuinely personal.

I know Flagstaff takes trust seriously. My commitment is to earn it through service, integrity, and real connection.

I’d love to hear your story—your favorite trail, coffee spot, or what brought you here!
