Who we are
Madho Law Group, LLC (“Madho Law”), formerly known as Legal Advocates, LLC, was founded by Shari Ann Madho and Brent Madho. All attorneys at Madho Law are licensed to practice law in the State of Connecticut. We are available via phone or e-mail to answer your legal questions Monday through Saturday during office hours and can often respond outside of office hours as needed. Our team endeavors to put our clients in a better financial position. In order to do so, we focus on helping clients obtain, sell or refinance their homes. We can also help our clients plan for the unpredictable future by developing an estate planning strategy. In addition to real estate and estate planning services, we can help clients navigate through the difficult endeavor of a divorce or child custody matter. Ready to own a business? We can help set you up for that, too.
We understand that clients are often apprehensive about the cost of hiring an attorney. Rest assured that Madho Law offers a free 30-minute consultation and can work with you to find the best payment option for you. A consultation will entail the discussion of your issue, the recommended approach to resolve that issue and the fee associated with getting your issue resolved.
Our firm is conveniently located in Meriden, Exit 17 on I-91 or Exit 8 on I-691. More often, however, we meet our clients at a time and place of clients’ convenience such as their homes, workplaces or even online via Zoom.
