I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Excellent Law Firm—they are always first in mind for basically any legal service you can think of, but most importantly is the high level of professionalism and communication. I recently had a potential legal issue and called on a late weekend afternoon. Immediately one of their attorneys (Jessica) called me back and talked me through everything, and gave me excellent advice. She continued to follow up with me throughout the entire situation and couldn’t have been more pleasant. I highly recommend seeking their advice or counsel…there is a reason their reviews are so high! It is also a huge bonus they have offices across CT, so they really have great grasp on the laws here and know and understand their community.Posted on Google![]()

I was referred to The Maddox Law Firm on the Saturday Night of July 4th holiday weekend with a pressing personal family issue. Matthew Maddox immediately accepted my call and provided me with exceptional advice. He followed up with me on Sunday AND Monday to make sure my family was protected. His empathy, guidance and follow up was truly remarkable. I unequivocally recommend Matthew and his firm to anyone who is looking for a premier family lawyer.Posted on Google![]()

Matthew went above and beyond! His honesty and focus on my son’s best interest is what did it for me. He spoke to my son in a direct manner and for that I’m grateful. It’s not about the business aspect for him. He cares! From the bottom of my heart… thank you.Posted on Google![]()

A really good friend recommended The Maddox Law Firm, Inc. I was very pleased with their compassion and understanding from the moment I stepped in to their offices. They listened to every word expressed by me and provided such great advice without pushing you to make decisions right away. I received follow up calls, just to check in on me. Not once, but a few times. I highly recommend The Maddox Law Firm if you're looking for a team that's going to go all out for you!
