Skilled and Experienced Legal Representation for the Southwest Twin Cities Metro

When you walk through the doors of the Chaska office of Sugar Creek Legal Services, someone will have the time to sit down and listen to your concerns. At other firms, you may not be able to get past the receptionist; at my firm, Attorney Richard Haefele will take the time to talk to you, learn about your individual situation and answer your questions. Building strong client relationships throughout the Southwest Twin Cities metro is exactly what I have done for the past 35 years.

Sugar Creek Legal Services is dedicated to the idea that every person who walks out our door should be better off than when he or she walked in. I strongly believe that we owe the public the chance to be better informed, reach a better understanding of their legal situation and get a better idea of how they can approach their problem.

The first half-hour of your consultation will be free as we help you with any and all of the following practice areas:

• Family law: From divorce settlements to adoptions and prenuptial agreements, I emphasize methods of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, in all our family law cases. By first exploring all options short of litigation, I can help you save time, money and anguish.
• Divorce (dissolution of marriage): Focusing on mediation, I will help you reach a fair settlement for every aspect of your divorce, including child support, property division and alimony. Should litigation become necessary, count on me to fight for your best interests at every step.
• Custody modifications: When your life circumstances change, your child custody obligations should change with it. Depending on the particular circumstances of your case, I can help you get the custody modifications you deserve or help you fight against modifications that are not warranted.
• Bankruptcy and foreclosure: If you want to avoid home foreclosure, or if you are faced with overwhelming debt, filing for bankruptcy may be in your best interest. I handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies.
• Real estate: I handle residential and commercial real estate transactions for small businesses and commercial real estate developments.
• Estate planning and probate: I will help you understand the tax implications of different estate planning options, so you know how to best protect and distribute your assets through wills, trusts and powers of attorney, as well as specify your wishes regarding medical care should you ever become incapacitated.  For clients who have lost a loved one, I offer caring and knowledgeable guidance on the probate and estate administration process.
• Business law: From startup and formation of business organizations to their dissolution, I will be there to provide sound advice and options every step along the way. I also handle debtor and creditor issues, including collections for small businesses.
• Criminal defense: My criminal defense practice focuses on misdemeanors and juvenile misdemeanors, including DWI, traffic offenses (e.g., speeding tickets, driving after suspension, driving after revocation), orders for protection and domestic abuse matters.
• Construction law: I will assist with construction problems and mechanics' liens issues.
