Best

I highly recommend Roger. He is my current divorce attorney. He knows what he's doing and very helpful. He is understanding of my matter and never lets anything shake him. Very professional

Posted by Tammy | May 17, 2012 | Divorce & Separation

very satified

Mr. Madison and his staff were very respectiful, quick to respond to email and voice messaging regarding questions and concerns or I had during my divorce proceedings. He and his staff were respectful to what outcome I wanted from my divorce and they worked hard on my behalf making sure that I recei...ved my outcome.

Posted by Annette | December 21, 2011 | Divorce & Separation

Very thankful!

It's been a year since my divorce was finalized, I hired Mr Madison 3 years ago, but it took 2 years for my divorce to become final. Mr Madison was very patience and kind and kept me informed throughout the divorce proceedings. My husband of 27 years wanted me to walk away from our marriage with no...thing. Roger saw it differently and fought for my part of his retirement, that we started over on equal finacial footing and he also made sure that I was set up with life long spousal support. So, if you are looking for a good lawyer who will take time and walk you through the trial step by step, look no further, Roger Madsion is your person. Mr Madison, thank you again for everything you done for me!

Divorce Attorney

I interviewed and met with a few attorneys before selecting Mr. Madison. I selected him because he treated me as if I mattered and was not just another typical divorce. He worked hard during the entire process and allowed me to make decisions while guiding me with advice and the law. He always ans...wered my questions and had paperwork completed in a timely manner. I hope I never need him again but would gladly recommend his services

Very good experience working with Roger. He kept me informed and always found answers to my questions, Divorce is a tough experience and I would have preferred not to need him, but I was very glad to have found him.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Roger and I had the opportunity to work together on a challenging child custody/modification case. He advocated very effectively for his client without making a difficult case worse. We successfully resolved the case to the satisfaction of both of our clients. Roger's commitment to having a successful outcome was was one of the keys to making it happen I've watched Roger in court and his is always well prepared, professional and disarmingly effective. I would call Roger a "smooth operator." No tricks, no hype, just damn fine lawyering. I endorse this lawyer."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2020

updated on 12/31/2020

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension issued in WA, 2006

updated on 08/22/2010

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Roger’s comment:

“In 2001, I made the mistake of accessing my former girlfriend's Hotmail account by guessing her password to recover an expensive ring I had given her and which a court had ordered her to return. This led to a six month suspension of my license to practice in 2006. I cooperated fully with the bar association, and I deeply regret this lapse of judgment. In my 25 years of practice, I have received no other discipline from the bar association.”
