"Across three states, Jenny was hands-down the best divorce lawyer I worked with! Authentic, savvy, insightful, tough, empathetic and effective. Can ’t say enough good things about her."
Legal Assistant/Receptionist Madalyn Monteith
Madalyn Monteith came a long way to join Triangle Smart Divorce as our newest legal assistant. We don’t mean that metaphorically. Madalyn has wound her way from the plains of Indiana through the Rockies to Spokane, Washington and then to our doors – with a few other stops along the way.
She thinks her hiring was the direct result of her absolutely nailing our application process but she’s only half right – anyone who could survive Indiana winters and the dust storms of Eastern Washington had our admiration walking into our first interview together.
Then there was her work experience before she joined a law firm – a communications specialist at an enormous Spokane medical center. Her job: speak with “distraught and angry callers to de-escalate the situation by empathizing with them . . . and inform teams of nurses and doctors of emergency situations in a timely manner.” Tough under any circumstances, now add in that Madalyn did this in the teeth of COVID and, well, you’re starting to get the picture of what we see in her.
Madalyn has “always been interested in family law” and has found her niche with Triangle. We’re thrilled to have her even though she is beginning to drive us crazy with her constant observation that, “people are so friendly here!”
In her spare time, Madalyn loves to read and listen to podcasts – her favorite genre for both being thrillers. For a little less scary pastime, she also crochets.
