Timeless Values Fueling Thoughtful Growth

For more than a century, the people of Maddin Hauser have provided sophisticated legal representation for businesses and individuals throughout Michigan and across the country. Milton M. Maddin hung his shingle at a modest office in downtown Detroit in 1925, establishing a footprint that evolved into a powerhouse law firm, serving clients nationwide across a broad spectrum of practice areas. Milton founded the firm with fundamental, timeless principles: always act with integrity and professionalism, keep your promises and honor your commitments, and never rest on your laurels or take your clients’ trust for granted. 

These and many other core values, universally embraced by everyone who works at the firm, are codified in the Maddin Hauser Way, the standards that define how we practice law, how we treat our clients and each other, and how we approach the future. These principles guide the recruitment and development of the exceptional legal professionals who make Maddin Hauser their professional home, many of whom have spent their entire careers here.

Maddin Hauser is at the leading edge of innovation, responsibly adopting new tools that make us more agile, efficient, and cost-effective.
