Sean Madera is the fierce legal mind behind Mad Law, a Houston-based law firm known for fighting relentlessly on behalf of its clients. A graduate of South Texas College of Law, Sean earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) in December 2014 and has spent the years since developing a reputation as a fearless, strategic, and creative advocate—often described by clients as a mad scientist of the courtroom.

Whether he's handling business disputes, contract litigation, personal injury claims, or civil matters, Sean brings an intensity and level of dedication that sets him apart.

While Sean handles family law on a case-by-case basis, his true focus lies in fighting for justice in high-stakes legal battles. His clients know that when Sean is on their side, they’re not just getting a lawyer—they’re getting a strategist, a defender, and a legal powerhouse.

Sean founded Mad Law with one mission in mind: to deliver top-tier legal representation without compromise. He believes that everyone deserves a champion in their corner—and he's here to be exactly that.

Real Estate

At Mad Law, attorney Sean Madera brings extensive experience handling landlord-tenant legal matters throughout Texas, with a strong focus on both commercial and residential property disputes. Our firm represents both landlords and tenants in a variety of lease-related situations, ensuring that our clients' rights are protected under Texas law.

We assist commercial landlords in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating lease agreements, and we provide aggressive legal representation when a tenant breaches a lease or fails to pay rent. Our goal is to help property owners recover lost income and restore order to their operations through legal remedies such as eviction proceedings or lease enforcement.

Our services also extend to residential and commercial landlords who are dealing with complex eviction cases or need guidance during a tenant lockout. We ensure that all actions comply with the Texas Property Code, helping landlords avoid costly legal missteps such as wrongful evictions or improper withholding of security deposits.

Unfortunately, many landlords unknowingly engage in illegal practices—such as performing unlawful lockouts or failing to return a tenant’s security deposit in a timely and justified manner. We work closely with property owners and managers to educate them on their legal responsibilities, helping them navigate the often-confusing regulations of the Texas Property Code and avoid potential lawsuits.

Whether you’re a landlord needing to take action against a non-paying tenant or seeking to ensure your lease agreements are legally sound, Sean Madera and the Mad Law team are here to guide you every step of the way.
