Attorney Madisen Pittman | Timpa Law Office

When you find yourself in need of a family lawyer, you
actually need several things. You
need an attorney who is schooled in the law, but you also need a counselor to
advise you, someone with a clear head, and a grasp of all the variables that
make up a complicated family law case, someone who will help you make savvy
decisions in what can be a highly emotional time in your life. And you need
an advocate in your corner, someone with your best interest at heart who will
fight for your rights and the rights of those you love.

Families in the Greater Rockwall area have
just that — an attorney/counselor/advocate in Madisen Pittman of the Timpa
Law Office. As a lifelong Rockwall resident, and graduate from Rockwall-Heath
High School, Madisen cares deeply about the families she represents. Madisen
developed a passion for family law while she was in law school and as a
former CASA volunteer in Rockwall. She graduated from Texas A&M
University School of Law in May 2020 with her Juris Doctorate and understands
the labyrinth that makes up the legal system. Madisen has two undergraduate
degrees from Southern Methodist University in Business as well as Psychology,
that makes her keenly aware of the toll a court case can take on a family and
each of the individuals involved and which offers her the tools to help
minimize that damage. Further, she is one semester away from completing her
master’s in forensic psychology, adding to her experience in navigating
difficult and emotional situations.

“Nobody
plans to need a family law attorney,” Madisen said. “When someone comes to my
office, they don’t necessarily want to be there. The first thing they need is
someone who will really listen and care. This isn’t a high point of their
lives. They’re often feeling helpless and worried by the time they see me.
They need me to hear their legal needs as well as their emotional needs.”
Madisen wants her clients to understand that divorce is not always a negative
thing. It can mean a fresh start. She helps them look at their divorce as
more than an ending, as a new beginning. Then, she partners with them to make
that beginning the best it can be.

Madisen brings a unique perspective to family
law having spent years practicing criminal law. “Criminal law and family law
intersect more often than most people realize,” she said. “When a client has
a criminal and family case pending at the same time, the criminal case will
almost always affect the family law case. When it does, it is beneficial to
have one attorney who is experienced in handling both the criminal and family
law aspects of their case. My background allows me to handle both cases with
confidence and to obtain the best outcome possible for my
client.”

When Madisen was ready to align herself with
a family law practice, she took her time and did her homework. Of course, she
knew the reputation of the Timpa Law Firm from growing up in Rockwall, but
she loved the idea of working for a firm with such deep roots in the
community and knew them to be conscientious, diligent, and compassionate
family law attorneys. Their philanthropic spirit is what really tipped the
scales for Madisen. She knew of their work with the Rockwall County Helping
Hands, Child Advocacy Center, National Charity League, and other nonprofits
in the community, and having been raised in a Christian home herself, she
wanted to work with a firm that lives out the Christian beliefs on which she
was raised. “I loved the idea of working with a firm that not only cares
about their clients but cares about the community and the world at large,”
she said. “We care about each other as well. It’s a very supportive office
culture and we often collaborate on cases. So, our clients get the benefit of
all our years of practice and areas of expertise within the firm.”

The Timpa Law team are all deeply rooted in the Rockwall County community where they are active in various clubs and
organizations. Although the firm is located on Rockwall’s
historic downtown square, the attorneys and the staff routinely practice in
many counties in North Texas and each attorney is a member of the Family Law
Section of the State Bar of Texas.

attorneys and staff of the Timpa Law Office can help you navigate the
complex and difficult issues surrounding

Timpa Law Office will apply
