Posted by M.R. | August 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

SOOO THANKFUL....

I decided to hire Roger & his firm in December of 2017 to help assist me in 2 separate cases with my daughter’s fathers in establishing parenting plans & child support modifications. Roger was the second attorney I hired due to my first lawyer not being able to focus on my cases fully in order to get... them moving forward. After about 10 months of getting nowhere, I started my search for another lawyer, which was Roger. There is no doubt in my mind that I picked the best lawyer and his team to assist me with what would become a very long grueling process. Both of my cases ended up being very highly litigated and almost reached the point of trial. I remember being in shock that within a matter of a few weeks after hiring Madison Law Firm, Roger and his team had accomplished more on each of my cases than my first lawyer did in 10+ months. The entire time Roger kept me informed as to what was going on. He was always on time when we had court and appeared very professional. There were a few times where I became very emotional and frustrated. Roger always kept me focused on the facts as well as what we were trying to accomplish for my daughters and I. His team is extremely professional and well organized. Having to go through this process is not easy by any means however; I feel having the best lawyer by your side is everything and that is Roger. I would highly recommend Roger and his team to anyone who is in need of help and feeling overwhelmed in their current situation. He will give you his honest opinions and will definitely fight to help his client for the best possible outcome. I cannot express enough my sincere appreciation for all the hard work that Madison Law Firm did to help me. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING! M.R.

Legal representation at its finest!

Mr. Roger Madison and the paralegals in his office were very sufficient and efficient in handling my case. As I became impatient, the reassurance I was given that all was being handled in a timely manner, became quite evident as my case progressed. Mr. Madison is very professional in his mannerisms... and treated me as if I were his only client when I stepped into his office. I appreciated that very much as a divorce is hard enough in the first place. Mr. Madison and his paralegal(s) give a very warm, welcoming presence when entering the office which is what I believe professionals should strive for at the very least. My calls were returned in a respectful, timely manner. I got through almost every single time I called, even on weekends. That was probably “bad clientele” on my part but it happened, and Mr. Madison was a gentleman through and through. In my honest opinion, I believe Roger Madison to be honest and forthcoming. He is not one to “beat-around-the-bush” so-to-speak, and I appreciate his willingness to take on my case full force without deception or manipulation as a means of “winning cases”. He is trustworthy, kind and I absolutely recommend his services. He was willing to put himself out just to help me during a difficult time in my case and for that I believe him to be honorable and a selfless man. I hold him in high regard. As for the money, everyone who hires an attorney knows it is going to be a steep cost. That is how it is. With Mr. Madison I was able to afford to retain him because of a small retainers fee which is hard to find in most attorney’s offices. I could not have gotten through my divorce without his and his paralegal(s) assistance. I will definitely retain Mr. Roger Madison again if I need to.

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.”
