Madeline Bergstrom – Associate Attorney – Family Law

About Me

Attorney Madeline Bergstrom is a Houston area family law attorney who helps clients navigate life’s biggest transitions—whether that means a high-asset divorce, a contested child custody dispute, a rock-solid premarital (prenuptial) agreement, or guiding families through the adoption process.

Madeline has guided spouses and parents through high conflict divorces, emergency custody hearings, and is now advocating for families in Department of Family and Protective Services investigations. Madeline advocates for her clients with clear strategy and steady resolve. She pairs tenacious advocacy with a counselor’s ear, ensuring every move reflects the client’s goals, values, and long-term wellbeing.

Born and raised in Katy, Texas, Madeline earned a double major at Pacific Lutheran University and became a certificated paralegal. Two years of family law practice as a paralegal inspired her to attend Texas A&M University School of Law, where she sharpened her courtroom skills with the Innocence Project, Immigrants’ Rights clinic, and through a clerkship for the 362nd District Court.

Today, Madeline is based in Jersey Village and serves clients across Houston. When she isn’t advocating for families, you’ll find her hunting for treasures at local flea markets, sampling Houston’s festivals, or at home with her partner and their beloved cats.
