About Matthew B
Matthew B Maddox earned both degrees from the University of Oklahoma, completing a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 1989 and a Juris Doctor in 1993. His academic years placed him in an environment that combined reporting and law. That background informs how he prepares cases and communicates with clients and courts.
He has practiced law in Texas and has been associated with The Maddox Law Office since 2009. Over the years he has built a steady practice in Collin County and surrounding parts of North Texas. His path from a journalism undergraduate to a practicing attorney is evident in the way he structures his legal work: clear statements, careful attention to record, and an emphasis on courtroom-ready materials.
Maddox maintains memberships in local bar groups that reflect his work. He is a current member of the Collin County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Collin County Bar Association. Those memberships keep him engaged with peers and current developments in the local legal community. They also place him in regular contact with judges, prosecutors, and fellow defense counsel in the county where he practices.
In practice he handles criminal defense matters at various stages. He represents clients in arraignments, pretrial hearings, plea negotiations, and trials. He prepares motions, handles evidentiary disputes, and presents oral argument when cases proceed to court. His journalism training contributes to case narrative — an ability to frame facts and timelines so judges and juries can follow them.
Clients who come to him typically seek counsel for misdemeanor and felony charges in Collin County and nearby jurisdictions within Texas. His courtroom experience and local ties mean he frequently appears before municipal and county courts. He also coordinates with investigators and expert witnesses when cases require forensic or technical explanation.
Peers describe him as a practitioner who values thorough preparation. He attends meetings and educational programs through his bar association memberships and applies those lessons to ongoing cases. He has remained based in the same region for many years and has steady involvement in the local legal community.
His office, The Maddox Law Office, serves clients from initial consultation through resolution. He continues to serve on local professional lists and engages in regular practice in Texas. His current practice concentrates on criminal defense and related matters in Texas.
