Juvenile Law

Stockton Attorney Works Hard to Give Juveniles a Second Chance

California lawyer helps minors avoid the adult criminal justice system

Law Offices of Mark A. Thiel helps juveniles and their families understand their legal options. When you work with my firm, you can be confident that a knowledgeable and professional juvenile law attorney — who understands the California juvenile system and the state’s courts — is on your side. I have represented juveniles in state and federal courts in a wide array of juvenile criminal and noncriminal cases, which have included:

  • Underage drinking
  • Theft crimes
  • Drug offenses
  • Vandalism
  • Criminal trespass
  • Shoplifting
  • Assault and battery
  • Parental neglect of a minor
  • CHIPS (Children in Need of Protection or Services)
  • At-Risk Youth (ARY)
  • Adoption
  • Guardianship
  • Dependencies

My experience enables me to anticipate how judges, Child Protective Services (CPS) case workers, and other attorneys may approach your case.

Protecting future educational and employment prospects

If your child is being accused of, charged with or investigated in connection with a criminal offense, time is of the essence. Delay can cause valuable legal advantages to be lost while you are waiting to secure legal representation. I understand the severity of the situation and work diligently to ensure that your child’s mistakes don’t follow him or her into adulthood. My wealth of trial experience gives me a thorough understanding of the defense tactics to which juvenile courts and judges respond favorably. I also pursue sentencing options to prevent a youth from acquiring a criminal record that can limit future prospects.

Your personal guide and advocate

I am aware of the sensitive nature of juvenile cases. Because I truly care about my clients, I do everything in my power to ensure your case is handled confidentially and discreetly. Whether you are accused of child abuse, neglect, or family violence or are looking for legal help regarding the guardianship of a minor, I am an able advocate and guide.

Testimonials
  • "The man with the plan! I retained Mark Thiel to represent me in three expungement cases, two of which were DUIs, and one Public Misconduct, all three were considered misdemeanors. When the time came to go to the hearing for all three cases in the Modesto Superior Court, the Assistant DA filed to deny the motion based on her wrong interpretation of the letter of the law and Mark was brilliant in his research and brief that he filed with the court, and as we stood before the judge, he meticulously sited the cases and explained the letter of the law the way it is meant to be applied. The judge did not say one word in opposition and granted the motion on the spot! Mark is fantastic and worth every penny he charges, which by the way, is quite reasonable. Thank you Mark!"

  • "My Knight in Shining Armor Mark came to my aid at the very last minute when another attorney abandoned my custody case literally 2 days prior to trial. I had a bad feeling about the other attorney and contacted Mark. Not only was he absolutely wonderfully knowledgeable intaking my case, he was stellar in court. My babies and I are safe and sound in our home forever now thanks solely to Mr. Mark Thiel."

  • "Excellent attorney with the right solution! Mark helped guide me with what seemed like an endless case. I approached Mark with a very complicated case, that dealt with educational law and a signed contract. He was a great listener and was able to find an expedited solution that resolved my case within weeks."

  • "Excellent Attorney! Honest and Trustworthy! Mark showed a great deal of class dealing with my difficult situation. He easily saw between the lines found an edge to work with and brought my case to a desired conclusion! Case won!"

  • "Great attorney, Dedicated, Fair, Honest, and Caring! I hired Mark to represent me in a personal injury case. Putting this matter into his hands was the BEST decision I ever made!!. Before I spoke to him, I had interviewed several attorneys and felt so jumbled and confused, not knowing who to trust and what to do. Mark listened to my situation and patiently answered all my questions and concerns. His responsiveness, knowledge, authenticity and wise counsel calmed the stress and anxiety I had over mounting medical bills and a prolonged process. I did not have any reservations in trusting him. He was realistic in what we faced and his office was very helpful in the various stages of the case. He was willing to go the extra mile and didn't back down in negotiations. My settlement definitely exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Mark to family and friends. As a matter of fact, a family member had an issue with his employer and Mark Thiel was the first name that popped into my head. He is definitely someone you want on your side."

  • "Best Lawyer Ever! I couldn't have asked for a better advocate to represent me in court. I had never been arrested before and he greatly exceeded my expectations. He truly fought for my rights and dignity - We didn't leave that courtroom until all my charges were dismissed! He is intelligent, tenacious, confident and experienced with the people of the San Joaquin judicial system. I would greatly advise anyone with a criminal case in San Joaquin county - or anywhere else - to hire Mark as your lawyer, as you will have a bulldog fighting for your future and the best possible outcome of your case."

  • "Genuine, Direct, Realistic, Quality After interviewing several Lawyers, met and hired Mark for an alcohol related traffic offense. Mark laid out the entire scenario and it played out as he stated, never overstating or understating the process. He was empathetic, yet realistic about the offense. As a first time offender, he was available and offered genuine counsel for the situation. Mark will always be my first choice as a lawyer. He is someone who is realistic, reasonable and trustworthy. Most importantly, he understands the law and his role as an attorney. Thanks Mark..."
