When settlement isn’t feasible, however, Madeleine is a skilled litigator who will fiercely advocate for her clients’ rights in court.

A key priority for Madeleine is making sure that clients fully understand their legal options and the implications of their decisions. Madeleine provides accessible legal services to both English- and Spanish-speaking clients, breaking down complex legal concepts into straightforward, relatable terms. She ensures that all clients, regardless of background or experience with the legal system, feel fully engaged and empowered throughout the process. No matter which language you speak, she is committed to making sure you never feel in the dark about your case.

With a special focus on family dynamics, particularly cases involving children, Madeleine works tirelessly to shield kids from the stresses of divorce.
