Partner
Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP
Robert Maddox is a partner at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP. In the past decade, Mr. Maddox handled more national/multi-state attorneys’ general investigations and related consent judgments than any attorney in the United States. His work involves representing clients before the CFPB, DOJ, EOUST, OCC, FRB, HUD, SEC and multiple state regulatory agencies, including banking, finance and insurance agencies.
With Bradley’s national competitive fee advantage, Mr. Maddox continued the firm’s representation post-consent judgment on most matters to handle redress of business systems, internal and external reporting, and account remediation – and still provides board training, compliance, and litigation representation to many of those same clients.
Mr. Maddox stands behind his work product and advice and supports clients through challenging times and then celebrates their business successes.
