Rachel Elizabeth Madden

I recently started my own law firm, Madden Law, PLLC.   Prior to that, I was an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney for the City of Martinsville, where I handled many different kinds of criminal cases.  After that, I went to work for the Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia, where I helped preserve the rights for those living in poverty.  I am very proud of my accomplishments in the public sector.  

Now that I have established my own firm. I work primarily in family law, criminal law, and landlord/tenant law.  Many of my clients are either active duty military or spouses of active duty military members.  As a result, I am very familiary with the unique needs of persons who are affiliated with the United States Armed Forces.  I am also the child of a Navy veteran and I grew up on military bases, so I understand these needs not only from a legal perspective, but from the perspective of a family member.

I am also deeply committed to ending domestic violence. Throughout my entire career, I have worked with victims of domestic violence. I also work with the local domestic violence agencies to give support to their clients. 

i also serve as a Guardian ad Litem for minor children through the Hampton Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.  I enjoy this work, as I enjoy working with children.  I believe that it is so important to protect children and their rights. Being a Guardian ad Litem gives me this opportunity.   

I am committed to all of my clients and I will work hard for you and your case, no matter what it is, so you are satisfied with the outcome.   

I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
