Madison was raised in Johnston, Iowa, where she was trained at an early age to answer the phone at her mama’s law firm. She received her undergraduate B.A. degree at Simpson College where she helped teach a class on Harry Potter and religion and studied in England. In 2013, Madison started law school at the University of New Hampshire School of Law. She was selected to be in the Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program, which gave her special preparation to be ready to represent actual people on her first day as a lawyer.. In college and law school, Madison developed her passion for bringing people together by doing Interfaith work for Simpson College’s Religious Life Community, volunteering her time as a chat partner for students seeking to improve their English skills, and mentoring new law students. She was a member of the Women’s Law Student Association and the American Constitution Society, worked for plaintiff-side employment and personal injury law firms, and received a fellowship to help low-income clients at New Hampshire Legal Assistance. Madison earned her J.D. in May 2016, when she was also sworn into the New Hampshire bar. She practiced in the State of Colorado for two years before moving back to Iowa in September 2018, when she was admitted to the Iowa bar.. Madison lives in Beaverdale with her husband, Jacob, and their three cats and a dog who all have human names. They own a lovely little historical brick house that is both the love of their life and the bane of their existence. Outside of work, Madison loves reading fantasy novels, horseback riding, painting, cooking up a storm, biking (she did RAGBRAI in 2021 and 2022), and writing meticulous to-do lists.

I've been a licensed lawyer in Iowa and Illinois for eleven and a half years handling cases ranging from family law disputes to consumer bankruptcy.  I started practicing law to help people overwhelmed by the challenges of the legal system.  I'm not afraid to take a case to trial, but I also try to find reasonable cost-effective solutions everyone can live with given the realities and that the legal system has no guarantees.  Before becoming an attorney, I was a print and broadcast journalist.
