Madalyn knew she wanted to become a criminal ​defence lawyer when she was sixteen. She received ​an Honours Degree in Criminology from York ​University in 2013. She then attended the Faculty ​of Law at the University of Windsor where she ​focused her studies on criminal law. She was called ​to the Ontario Bar in 2019. Prior to starting her own ​law firm, Madalyn worked for reputable trial and ​appeal lawyers who taught her how to strategize ​and approach each case.

To Madalyn, defending her clients is a privilege. ​She cares about their lives and what led them to ​become entangled in the justice system.
