Brendan E. Madden

Brendan Madden is an Associate at Reinstein, Glackin & Herriott, LLC. He is a lifelong resident of Maryland and attended the University of Maryland for both his undergraduate and Juris Doctor degrees. After graduating college, Brendan worked for two years as a paralegal at a family law firm in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he developed an enduring interest and appreciation for the complexities of divorce and custody matters. In law school, Brendan gained early experience in appellate issues as a judicial intern for the Honorable Kevin F. Arthur of the Court of Special Appeals, and is acknowledged for his work on the third edition of Judge Arthur's treatise, "Finality of Judgments and Other Appellate Trigger Issues."

Brendan gained wide-ranging experience as first a law clerk and then a legal fellow in the Office of General Counsel of the University of Maryland Medical System, where he prepared employment and corporate contracts for the System and its 13 hospitals. After law school, Brendan worked at a Baltimore-based civil litigation firm handling medical malpractice and personal injury cases. He eventually shifted his focus towards appellate work, a focus he now brings after returning to his first interest in family law.

Brendan's practice covers all aspects of family law, with a particular emphasis on complicated appellate issues and the careful preparation of retirement orders, including military pensions.
