Maddie Phillips

Bio

Maddie Phillips is a Paralegal at Farias Family Law, where she brings compassion, clarity, and calm to clients navigating some of life’s most difficult transitions. Since beginning her paralegal career in 2021, Maddie has developed broad legal experience that ultimately affirmed her passion for family law, where she can combine empathy with excellence to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. A certified yoga instructor since 2015, Maddie draws on her years of teaching, international travel, and study to approach both life and law with an emphasis on balance, mindfulness, and human connection. She is dedicated to ensuring clients feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the legal process.

Maddie graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in Law, Criminal Justice & Society and Spanish, and plans to attend law school to become a family law attorney. Her greatest source of inspiration is her son, who reminds her daily why she works so relentlessly toward her goals. One of her favorite lessons to share with him, and one she strives to live by herself when facing fear or resistance, is that “we can do hard things.” To Maddie, this means meeting life’s challenges with courage and compassion, even when every part of ourselves doubts that we can make it through to the other side. She hopes to bring that same belief into her work by encouraging others to find the strength to navigate difficult transitions, trust in themselves, and move forward with confidence… even if we have to fake it until we make it!
