#844 Madeleine Simmons

Madeleine Simmons is a nationally respected trial attorney, equity partner, public servant, and advocate who has personally recovered more than $100 million in settlements and verdicts for her clients. On The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas #844, Madeleine brings the kind of perspective that can only come from standing for people when the stakes are real—and choosing service, leadership, and justice as a calling. Madeleine is an equity partner with Stewart Miller Simmons Trial Attorneys, a City Councilwoman for the City of Brookhaven, and Past President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. Her résumé is extraordinary—but the woman behind it is even more compelling. Madeleine has served as lead counsel in more than 30 personal injury jury trials across 11 Georgia counties, representing people whose lives have been changed through the negligence of others. Her work spans premises liability, sexual assault, motor vehicle, and trucking cases, and she has been consistently selected to the Georgia Super Lawyers list. But leadership, for Madeleine, extends far beyond the courtroom. She invests in developing and mentoring other attorneys, has coached law-school mock trial, serves on Georgia’s Civil Justice Political Action Committee board, and is a fellow of the American Board of Trial Attorneys. She is also a sought-after speaker on leadership, management, trial strategy, complex motions, and evidentiary practice. At the center of all of it is something much simpler: Madeleine Simmons believes helping others is both her professional and spiritual calling. That conviction is what makes this conversation different. Success can give you a platform. Leadership gives you responsibility. Service gives it meaning. 🎙️ THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas — Episode #844 Featuring Madeleine Simmons If leadership, justice, personal injury law, entrepreneurship, public service, mentorship, faith, purpose, or building a life of meaningful impact matter to you, this is a conversation worth your time.
