In his spare time, Maddison is an avid golfer and loves to travel with this wife Shonda Maddison (CLAS '99) and daughter Sidney. He was the Associate Producer of the Hollywood Black Film Festival winning independent film "Big Ain't Bad", which he co-produced with a group of Southwest Atlanta residents.   

Attorney-Columnist Poe, who is Managing Partner of Brian Poe & Associates, Attorneys, PC and Esquire Connect LLC (a national legal recruiting firm), stated that Atlanta Tribune - The Magazine selected Attorney Maddison for the feature because "we wanted to share the story of an up-and-coming star attorney who has excelled at the same law firm his entire career and is now managing his own office for MHS in Tucker, Georgia, all during a time period (in which) we have lost many real estate professionals, including attorneys, due to market conditions. Kareem sheds light on how his law firm has weathered the storm - and thrived."

During the Q&A exchange between Poe and Maddison, the office and staff of Attorney Lynne W. Sparks, a Partner who manages the West Cobb operations for MHS, are mentioned and commended as well.

MHS law firm, which has over 50 offices located in the Southeast US, is one of the few large law firms with an office presence in Tucker, Georgia. The Tucker/Northlake office, which Attorney Maddison manages, is located at:  4500 Hugh Howell Road Suite 350 Tucker, GA 30084.
