About Us

My name is Maralina J. Schoenfelder, an attorney, combat veteran, and passionate advocate for children's rights with 13 years of experience. My journey includes a Juris Doctorate from the University of Wyoming and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Colorado State University, all dedicated to a career in public service.

As the owner of Schoenfelder Law LLC, I offer unwavering representation to indigent adult and juvenile clients, with a specialization in juvenile defense. My dedication extends to battling juvenile solitary confinement and ending indiscriminate shackling. With my commitment to the military in the Wyoming Army National Guard and deployments to Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan, I have dedicated my entire working career towards serving others and their need for advocacy. 

Extending into international waters, I've operated as a liaison between United Kingdom non-governmental organizations and the UK Government Delegation, contributing to discussions on gender-responsive budgeting. This includes providing assistance for the Women’s National Commission-United side panel event “An Economy for Equality - A dialogue with governments on gender responsive budgeting.”

My multifaceted career showcases an unwavering pursuit of justice, children's well-being, and community service. My legal experience and military background amplify my voice as a catalyst for positive change, qualifying my expertise in both legal and humanitarian spheres.
