\"\"<\/a>PARK SLOPE \u2014 Court Attorney Referee Danielle Noel is looking to bring equity, empathy and real-world experience to the bench in Kings County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noel officially launched her campaign for Civil Court judge on Jan. 10, in Bar Louise, at 221 Seventh Ave., bringing together an intimate group of friends, colleagues and district leaders to promote her campaign.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noel told the Brooklyn Eagle that being on the bench is her calling. \u201cI believe in the values of the court system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve dedicated my career as a lawyer to public service, and I\u2019ve been working in the court system for more than 11 years,\u201d she added. \u201cI can think of no greater calling or gift than being able to serve the Brooklyn community in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noel currently works in the Kings County Supreme Court, assigned to the Matrimonial Division.<\/p>\n

She presides over the financial issues of divorce actions, including child support, alimony and equitable distribution of marital property, as well as enforcement and contempt proceedings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to her appointment as a referee in 2024, Noel worked for three years as a support magistrate in Kings County Family Court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also served as a law clerk to various New York State Supreme Court justices for more than seven years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noel received her JD from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, and her BA in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

She is currently a member of the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn, the Kings County Nathan R. Sobel American Inns of Court and the Metropolitan Black Bar Association.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of the event, Noel addressed the audience, explaining that one of the goals of the fundraiser was to provide an opportunity to get to know her better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a native Brooklynite, and the proud daughter of Caribbean immigrants who came to America to have a better life for themselves and for their families,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I went to law school, I thought I was going to have this big, fancy job being an entertainment lawyer to the stars. But as fate and God would have it, here I am, a dedicated public servant, which is the example that my parents gave me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noel\u2019s parents told her a job isn\u2019t just what you do from nine to five, it\u2019s what you do off the clock that helps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the attitude I hope to bring to the bench,\u201d she said, \u201cin addition to advocating for the people of Brooklyn, and making sure that everyone has their fair shot at justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commitment and passion\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daina Troy, a member of the Committee to Elect Daniel Noel for Civil Court Judge, noted that Noel will be successful in her next endeavor mainly because she cares so deeply about providing service to people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen her in action, at her jobs, and witnessed her communication skills and problem-solving skills,\u201d Troy said. \u201cShe has a real talent there.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PARK SLOPE \u2014 Court Attorney Referee Danielle Noel is looking to bring equity, empathy and real-world experience to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,45248,45249,3308,12060,45250,2969,15312,9,24,63,45251,41113],"class_list":["post-97924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-campaign-finances-campaign-funds","tag-civil-court-of-kings-county","tag-daily-bulletin","tag-election-elections","tag-election-2026","tag-funding","tag-kings-county-supreme-court-brooklyn-supreme-court","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-political-campaign","tag-primary-election"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
