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!

Modification of PP and Child Support

I will hire Mr. Madison again. He's very thorough with my case and I've learned so much about the family court case and the lingo. I highly recommend his service to anyone. I am the kind of person who likes the responses right away, and he does as quickly as he can.

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.

I came upon Mr Madison after seeking advice and help from numerous other sources who felt I had a case but wanted 5000 dollars up front before they even considered. I was recently seperated and disabled. I had no job, no money, no hope,.I was waiting for SSI to come thru and Roger took my case. H...e took it for an amount I could afford and thru the 2 long years he was patient and kept me informed of my case, kept me advised and was always responsive when I needed him. The case was won in my favor. Something else I would address to those potential clients who might be Christians, I posed Roger some tough situations because as a christian I did not always chose the path he expected, but he followed my wishes and respected them which you'll find rare in his culture. I would be proud to recommend Roger Madison to anyone, and consider him to be "MY Lawyer" whom I will go to when in need of legal support.

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.”
