Meet Madison “Maddie” Taylor, a compassionate and direct Legal Assistant at Simon Fitzgerald LLC. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Victim Studies and a minor in Psychology from Sam Houston State University, Maddie brings a unique perspective and expertise to her role at the firm.
Though relatively new to Simon Fitzgerald LLC, having joined the team in 2025, Maddie has already a year of valuable experience in the legal field. Her background in victim studies and psychology gives her exceptional insight into the emotional and psychological aspects of financial distress, making her particularly adept at helping clients navigate the bankruptcy process with dignity and understanding.
Maddie was drawn to the legal field by her passion for justice and fairness, desire to advocate for others, interest in complex problem-solving, strong analytical mind, and love of research and writing. A personal experience with hiring an attorney during her own divorce helped her understand firsthand how overwhelming legal processes can be for clients, fueling her commitment to making these processes more accessible and less intimidating.
What makes Maddie particularly effective in her role is her client-centered approach. She ensures that clients feel heard and understood through good eye contact, active listening, and detailed note-taking. Clients often express gratitude for her compassion, patience, and understanding – qualities that help alleviate the stress often associated with bankruptcy proceedings.
Maddie finds great reward in helping people navigate the complicated world of law. She wishes more clients understood that bankruptcy doesn’t mean “losing everything” and takes pride in being part of the process that brings relief to clients by explaining how the lawyers truly have their best interests at heart. Her direct communication style, combined with her empathetic nature, helps clients feel supported and informed throughout their bankruptcy journey.
What Maddie values most about working at Simon Fitzgerald LLC is the strong emphasis on collaboration and teamwork, where everyone is supportive and willing to share knowledge, allowing her to constantly learn and grow professionally.
Outside of work, Maddie enjoys binge-watching TV shows on Netflix and listening to inspirational TED Talks focused on motivational topics. She also takes a particular interest in YouTube video podcasts that discuss self-improvement, Autism and ABA therapy, and psychology. During summer months, she loves taking her 10-year-old son, Roman, swimming. She is also involved in an online support group for Autism called Finding Cooper’s Voice and shares her home with one cat.
Originally from Texas (and often surprising clients with the fact she has a twin sister), Maddie enjoys dining at local restaurants like Outback, Olive Garden, Carrabba’s, and Rubber Boots.
To potential clients considering Simon Fitzgerald LLC, Maddie wants you to know that you’ll gain a dedicated team of experienced professionals who prioritize understanding your needs and delivering tailored solutions with the highest level of expertise. With her compassion, direct communication style, and commitment to client service, Maddie is ready to help you navigate your bankruptcy journey with confidence and dignity.
