The Firm's Juvenile Law Practice

The Siebrecht Law Firm protects the rights of individuals under the age of 18 who have been charged with juvenile delinquency or a criminal law violation. Attorney Siebrecht's goal with respect to juveniles who have been charged with crimes is to help them understand the consequences of a criminal record before they reach the age of 18, so that they can mend their ways and avoid a permanent criminal record.

She carefully reviews the facts, evidence and circumstances of each case, and closely monitors all proceedings, to make certain that law enforcement officials and judges follow proper procedure. She also works directly with parents and other family members to ensure that minors get the help they need to change their behavior.

The firm also handles cases involving the termination of parental rights, as well as child in need of assistance proceedings. Attorney Siebrecht represents parents in actions where the state has sought a termination of parental rights as well as private actions where a parent or relative seeks to terminate parental rights.

She represents parents or minors in cases where the Department of Human Services (DHS) attempts to remove children from a home, whether the circumstances involve alleged physical abuse, neglect, drug abuse or other concerns. Her primary goal in these proceedings is to ensure that the rights of families are protected. She is intimately familiar with the juvenile court process and with DHS policies and knows how to protect your rights.

Assistance in Guardianship Proceedings

The Siebrecht Law Firm also represents children, parents or potential guardians in proceedings in the probate court to establish a guardianship. Attorney Siebrecht will prepare and file all the documents required by the court and will act as your advocate in all hearings and proceedings related to the petition for guardianship.
