Maddy Thompson

Maddy ThompsonI started at the firm as a receptionist in June of 2018, with plans to concurrently complete my degree program at Whatcom Community College. I completed my Associate of Science in Paralegal Studies at Whatcom Community College and a direct transfer degree, graduating with honors in June of 2020.  After graduating from Whatcom, I transferred to Western Washington University to study sociology and political science, where I am currently enrolled. I currently work as a paralegal, and look forward to what the future holds. I have been very fortunate to work with and learn from a group of such passionate and ethical legal professionals.  

I am a member of the Washington State Association for Justice Eagle Legal Staff Section (WSAJ).  During my time at Whatcom Community College, I volunteered at Law Advocates in the Street Law program, which provides free legal assistance to those in need. 

I come from a long line of Whatcom County natives. I graduated from Ferndale High School, as did my parents. In my free time I can often be found running around the county. When I am not at work or school, I enjoy camping, hiking, paddle boarding, hunting and fishing. I am always looking for new adventures, recipes and books.
