Call Chad Maddox -- a good lawyer to represent YOU! I would refer him to friends & family!

Mr. Maddox is a professional, reputable attorney who exhibits class and confidence as he works with Deputies of the District Attorney's office and defense attorneys alike! He understands "the game" and the strategy needed to properly manage a successful case. A man of strong moral value, he has a r...espectful, charismatic presence when representing the client (YOU) before the jury. Not a fast talking, slick character... Like most others, when I tripped & got into a little trouble, I researched many attorneys and even met with a few. I was confident in Chad's thorough understanding of the system and decided he would be best to represent my case -- .08 BAC without an accident. Throughout the process, he and his staff were available to answer any questions and promptly responded to any inquiries. They made me feel comfortable and guided me through the necessary steps needed... While in trial, Mr. Maddox used every avenue possible to derail the Prosecutor's case and even cited previous California trials as defense -- trials which neither the Judge nor Deputy D.A. were aware of where specific determinations could be used to assist in my defense. I was impressed when, while waiting for my case to be heard at the courthouse, other attorneys - his competition - would approach Chad to pick his brain & ask for input on strategy! Without his thorough understanding of the issue and how to defend DUI/DWI cases, the trial could have easily been a clean sweep for the Prosecution but Chad fought hard for me, the client. If a friend or family member were to find themselves in a similar situation, I would most definitely recommend Mr. Chad Maddox. Thank you Chad for all your extra energy and effort!

Knowledgeable & Hard Working

Mr. Maddox helped me with an unusual case - one that not many attorney's have handled. He worked hard to research the law in the case and continued to follow through even when we ran into difficulties. He responded promptly and explained the process of things as we went along. The thing that impre...ssed me most with Mr. Maddox is his knowledge of the law and his passion to see it upheld fairly. I can recommend him without reservation.
