About

Kathleen Halfpenny Svoboda offers a practical, real life approach to the legal issues encountered throughout life.  Experienced as a former juvenile prosecutor and Circuit Court Referee presiding over Juvenile and Child Protection Cases, she is the best person to represent youths involved in the court system and individuals at all stages of child welfare proceedings.  The skills acquired as an adjudicator with a high volume docket in this “one family, one judge” court render her the most qualified and experienced attorney you could want representing you in these matters. In addition, Ms. Svoboda has extensive experience with public benefit issues such as Medicaid eligibility, Food Stamps and Cash Assistance, having managed administrative law judges statewide who preside over hearings requested by individuals whose benefits have been reduced or terminated.Finally, Ms. Svoboda’s personal and professional experience lends itself to a professional, yet empathic approach to a new definition of “Family Planning”.  Whether her clients are parents of a young child, or find themselves part of the sandwich generation, family planning means preparation for incidents in life that we don’t like to think about such as death or disability.  Preparing for these incidents in life is a sign of love and care for our family members who will need to make decisions for us when we are no longer able.  What happens to our young children if we are suddenly in an accident?  How can I provide for their needs?  What if one of my children is disabled?Focus on the family and real life issues is the mission of Svoboda Legal.
