Madeleine Lamb Karstens

I bring a strong foundation in legal, business, communications, and advocacy to my practice, allowing me to assist clients across a wide range of legal matters. Having grown up in Franklin, Tennessee, I have a deep connection to the local community, which informs my approach to serving clients. During law school and my time in the Cole Law Group’s Summer Associate Program, I developed a keen interest in estate planning, family law, and tort law. Today, I represent clients in both litigation and non-litigation matters, including drafting wills and trusts, handling estate contests, addressing adult guardianships and conservatorships, navigating divorce and child custody issues, and advising on privacy and defamation concerns. I am dedicated to advocating for my clients’ interests, whether in court or through alternative dispute resolution methods. My commitment to my clients is reflected in my diligent work ethic, attention to detail, objectivity, and genuine empathy. I recognize that every case is unique, and I focus on tailoring litigation strategies to meet the specific needs of each individual matter. I earned my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Mississippi, where I was selected to the Moot Court Board, the school’s distinguished appellate advocacy group. My academic achievements include induction into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, which is reserved for the top 10% of graduate students across all disciplines, and lifetime membership in The International Legal Honor Society Phi Delta Phi. Additionally, I broadened my legal experience as a Student Extern at the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Mississippi.
