At MadLaw, we’re not your typical law firm — and we’re proud of that.
Founded by Attorney Philip Maddalena, MadLaw is the evolution of years spent in the courtroom fighting for real people with real problems. We focus exclusively on Personal Injury, Criminal Defense, and DUI Defense — and we do it with the intensity and personal attention every case deserves.
Located near Southington, Connecticut, we help clients across the state recover from life-altering injuries, defend against criminal accusations, and navigate the legal system with confidence.
Attorney Philip Maddalena has been practicing law in Connecticut since 2012. He began his career as a Special Public Defender, representing individuals who couldn’t afford legal counsel — and fighting hard to ensure their rights were protected.
He then moved into personal injury law, working at prominent firms throughout the state. During that time, he secured millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for injured clients.
With MadLaw, Phil brings the best of both worlds together: trial-tested experience and down-to-earth, honest client service.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Phil is deeply connected to the community he serves. When he’s not in court, you’ll find him enjoying golf, music, and family life with his wife and two children.
Every client deserves more than a case number. At MadLaw, you’ll work directly with your attorney from start to finish.
We’re not afraid of a courtroom. Whether negotiating a settlement or arguing before a judge, we show up ready.
Phone calls returned. Questions answered. Updates given. We believe legal help should never leave you guessing.
