About

Biography

A North Texas native, Madison joined Udashen Anton in 2020 after interning in our office, the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.

Madison graduated from Boston College Law School, where she participated in the Lifer Parole and Medical Release clinic, walking clients through the parole-hearing process and writing briefs advocating for their speedy release. Madison also authored two articles published in the Boston College Law Review online supplement discussing the impacts of progressive prosecution, and she served as a Teacher’s Assistant helping first-year law students excel in their legal research and writing skills. In her third year of law school, Madison’s commitment to criminal pro bono work earned her BC’s Pro Bono Excellence recognition.

Before earning her law degree from Boston College, Madison graduated from the University of Virginia with degrees in History and English and a minor in Spanish.
