Schoenberg works with individuals facing criminal matters and parties involved in civil disputes on criminal defense, trial preparation, motion practice, appeals, and general civil litigation. The practice is grounded in the specific legal and business issues reflected in those matters, with attention to the governing law, the client’s objectives, and the practical steps required to move a matter forward.

Schoenberg’s education includes a Juris Doctorate from the University of North Dakota School of Law in May 2026 and a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Criminal Justice from the University of North Dakota with minors in Psychology and Legal Studies. In law school, she competed on trial and moot court teams, won internal advocacy competitions, and served as president of the Student Trial Lawyers Association and the Law Women’s Caucus. This background supports careful legal analysis, research, writing, and problem solving in the matters handled in practice. It also provides context for evaluating legal risk, explaining available options, and connecting technical rules to the real-world decisions clients need to make.

Schoenberg’s experience includes conducting a jury trial and bench trials, writing and arguing motions in state court, working on appeals before the North Dakota Supreme Court, and appearing at multiple stages of criminal proceedings while in law school. Schoenberg has also worked as a legal intern at Vickers Law and as a Senior Legal Intern with the Grand Forks County State’s Attorney’s Office. These matters have involved North Dakota criminal courts, civil litigation, trial proceedings, motion practice, and appellate work.

Madison Schoenberg has also been recognized for first-place and best-oralist honors in law school advocacy competitions and admission to practice in North Dakota. Through her trial-team, moot-court, and student-organization leadership, Schoenberg remains engaged with the professional and practical issues that affect this area of law.
