Maddox was literally one of the first" lawyers I ever watched actually "practice law (he was the lead DA during my clerkship), and very few advocate across the nation have ever compared. I do not say this lightly, I WOULD PERSONALLY HIRE HIM TO DEFEND ME. Not to be a jerk, but I know hundreds and hundreds of lawyers from across the nation, and Maddox is the real deal. He is that good.
I endorse Maddox Kilgore. Maddox is a passionate advocate that will work tirelessly to protect the interests of his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. When he was a District Attorney, we opposed each other in a murder trial. Maddox won. He did a great job. Now that he is in private practice, he has the benefit of his experience as a prosecutor when representing his clients. He'll do a great job for his clients.

He is able to analyze and research legal issues thoroughly and apply that effort to excellent case resolutions. He also has an excellent reputation with the prosecutors and Judges he appears before.

I endorse this lawyer. Maddox is an outstanding attorney who has handled a variety of misdemeanor and serious criminal cases. We worked together on a few cases, and I was extremely impressed with his preparation, ability to connect with the jury, discernment, thoroughness, and tenacity. He knows how to get the most out of his witnesses and his cross-examination techniques are very effective. Although I handle some criminal matters, when someone asks me for a referral for a good criminal attorney in this area, Maddox Kilgore is the first attorney I send them to.

I endorse this lawyer. I knew Maddox when he was a prosecuting attorney, and he was then an excellent advocate for the State. However, since he became a criminal defense lawyer, he outshines every prosecutor he has a case against. From litigating motions, trials and handling appeals, Maddox has one of the sharpest legal minds around and will defend his clients vigorously. He is not afraid to represent those who are unpopular, and in every case he handles his preparation is meticulous. He is very good in front of a jury, and he has all the makings of a phenomenal lawyer. If I were arrested (let's hope not), he would be the first person I would call to defend me.
