Not just a lawyer, Madalína is a counselor at law. She knows the law, but she makes a particular effort to know her clients. Clients facing criminal charges often feel distraught, angry, or vulnerable– they need a source of strength and guidance. Madalína is client-oriented and prides herself on being accessible and responsive, treating every client as though they are her only client. Diablita Criminal Defense clients engage with the Attorney herself, not an endless cycle of assistants and paralegals. When clients call, Madalína answers.
While Madalína is accommodating with clients, she’s unflinching with the State. Her powerful courtroom presence and strategy-driven representation make her a fierce defender of her client’s legal rights. Madalína’s ultimate goal for her clients is case dismissal, though she works toward charge reductions and pre-trial diversions as needed. When her clients face trial, Madalína gladly takes on the challenge of her client’s criminal defense. As a Baylor-educated lawyer, Madalína is no stranger to the courtroom. She’s an aggressive advocate who is calm under pressure, earning her respect and credibility.
Attorney Madalína García fearlessly takes on big opponents. The State of Texas employs talented prosecutors, investigators, and law enforcement officers– a force to be reckoned with. Despite Texas’s might, Madalína uses every tool at her disposal to secure major wins for her clients.
Madalína was born, raised, and educated in Texas. She attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she received her B.A. in Government. To hone her advocacy skills, she attended Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas and earned her Doctor of Jurisprudence. As a proud Texan and passionate representative of her profession, Madalína adheres to the Texas Lawyer’s Creed and constantly endeavors to be a fierce criminal defense advocate who honors dignity, integrity, and the highest professional standards.

Talking to Madolyn about my case was a great experience. She is a very thoughtful listener. She made me feel much less overwhelmed and is great at explaining complex procedures!

This attorney provided me and my son with free, in-depth consultations. She took my call on a Sunday evening and answered all of my questions. I plan to hire this attorney.

For just a simple consultation She went above and beyond . She was very insightful, helpful, and knowledgeable. Her professionalism is worth more than five stars I highly recommend for anyone.
"I have the privilege of knowing Madolyn, an exceptional criminal defense attorney whose dedication to justice goes beyond the courtroom. Madolyn is not only a fierce advocate for her clients but also a steadfast supporter of underserved communities, including sex workers, ensuring that everyone has access to a fair and equitable legal process. Her commitment to giving back and engaging with the community is nothing short of inspiring. Whether through her pro bono work or her tireless efforts to educate and empower those she serves, Madolyn exemplifies the true spirit of advocacy and compassion. I am proud to call her a colleague and a champion for justice."
"I was fortunate to have Madolyn as a classmate in law school. I always admired her grit and determination, and she has always been detail-oriented and conscientious when it comes to setting goals and achieving them. I have no doubt that her tenacity, empathy, and healthy realism remain integral to her advocacy, particularly in high-stress and uncertain situations."
