Tearing Down Obstacles, Finding A Way For You

First, Let’s Talk About You

You don’t have a “case.” You have a problem. Your problem is one of two kinds: either you’ve been in an accident that has left you seriously injured, or you’ve been arrested in Connecticut.

You’re here because you need a solution to your problem. You’re here because you want a law firm that responds quickly, thoroughly, intelligently, compassionately and with obvious energy.

You are also here because you want a response that contains a promise. The promise of reliability, devotion to your cause, and authentic desire to advocate for you. You want the promise of the highest level of attention to detail, service, communication and advocacy. You want, at a bare minimum, a law firm that responds to others for you. This is basic advocacy.

But, you need much more than that. You need a law firm that ensures that others who are either part of your solution or part of your problem are dealt with correctly: Corporations, insurers, law enforcement officers and all of the “others” who either will help you along your way or try to stand in your way.

The response that you require from your law firm is founded on consistency, follow-up, patience and insight.

Sometimes, though, the response requires courageous, well-thought-out legal aggression. This means an organized, forceful application of strength. A strategically conducted battle. This is also why you’re here.

You need a law firm that responds: with patience, compassion, intelligence and strength – to you and for you – all the time, every day.

Our Approach To Each Case And Client

Our firm’s approach is based on a foundation of intellect, experience, desire, courage and accountability. We are a 21st-century law firm. Families and individuals not only seek legal representation, but a trusted advisor who can help them make good, informed decisions. We have created a network of local professionals who are highly respected in our community for this exact purpose.

Our Community Contribution

Every one of our team members is driven by a strong work ethic and an even stronger sense of community. We started on this mission to help people, and it is one we are determined to continue. The Maddox Law Firm provides education and information about the legal system, as well as social issues and prevention through volunteer work, and seminars and workshops.

Volunteer
As part of the Juvenile Review Board, our primary goal is to assist young individuals in staying on the right path and improving their lives. It’s not uncommon for teenagers and young adults who have run afoul of the law to have a complex background and face significant social and clinical challenges. In addition, many families lack knowledge regarding juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, and drug abuse. Providing education and guidance to young people is one of the most effective ways to create a brighter future for everyone involved.

Mentor/Partner
The Marian Work Study Corporation offers a unique chance for chosen students to participate in an internship program with a corporate mentor in New Haven and Fairfield counties. This program allows students to acquire valuable professional experience while still attending school. By taking part in the program, they can earn one academic credit. The students are evaluated twice a year, providing the necessary feedback to continue their growth and progress in their academic and professional endeavors.

Host
Our utmost priority is to provide comprehensive information to our community regarding the various legal options for tackling challenging situations. We believe in fostering a deep understanding of complex topics such as gun laws, insurance policies, substance abuse, and mental health issues. Our commitment to sharing information is unwavering, and we strive to empower individuals with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions.

Mentor
The Senior Internship Program is a highly beneficial initiative that enables high school students to gain firsthand experience in their preferred industries by connecting them with potential employers. The program is tailored to meet each student’s unique skills and interests and typically spans 3-4 weeks, with the schedule coinciding with the end of the academic year. This program is designed to equip students with practical skills that can be applied in their future careers and helps them to gain insight into various industries.

Lead Speaker & Panelist
This commendable nonprofit organization supports substance-free living and advocates for healthy decision-making among New Canaan teenagers. One of the notable figures in this organization is lead speaker Attorney Maddox, who renders invaluable insights on how making positive decisions can safeguard New Canaan teens and establish a solid foundation for their future. Attorney Maddox covers crucial topics such as underage drinking and substance use, networking opportunities, and achieving success in their careers. Additionally, Attorney Maddox served as moderator and panelist for several Fathers’ Forums.

A Message From Our Founder, Matthew Maddox

As a kid, I was fascinated by the Knights of the Round Table and the stories of Arthur, Lancelot, Gawain, Merlin and Camelot. In some ways, I still think sometimes in terms of heroes and villains, honor and courage.

Over my years of learning, making mistakes, and improving my skills as a trial lawyer, I learned how to win and after some time, to do so convincingly.

We can conquer, in some sense even ruthlessly, if the circumstances and the opposition’s behavior warrant that we conquer.

But, I also learned to practice forbearing from bringing the full force of my abilities in every circumstance. Sometimes, to advance our people and our mission, holding back can do more for their present and future. It requires experience to know when to pause and when to launch.

Grace and graciousness are essential to what we do, and grace toward the people who seek our advocacy, protection, imagination and strength is an elegant hallmark of our firm’s work.

While preparing for battle, planning the battle and surveying the field, we safeguard the people who need us. We do so with kindness, insight and compassion. Whenever we can, as much as we possibly can, we will be gracious and kind to the opposition; until they force us to no longer be.

Open Letter To The Opposition

We are always ready to accept your collaboration, and, if necessary, your surrender.

We are compassionate, gracious and respectful. We know from many decades of combined experience that communication and cooperation produce resolutions that serve our people, conserve time and money, and safeguard futures.

Prove yourself untrustworthy, unresponsive, and unfair, and we will respond professionally and intelligently with all the force that our highly trained, vastly experienced team can deliver.

I invite you to cooperate and work with us to find a solution. If you accept, we will solve the problem.

Our principal attorney is fluent in Spanish and French. Our paralegals and support personnel are fluent in Spanish. We have four offices throughout Fairfield County, including in New Canaan.
