Morgan Madden is a solicitor at Trapski Family Law, a boutique family law practice with offices at Williams Landing, serving Point Cook and Melbourne’s west, and at Newtown in Geelong. The Victorian register of lawyers, checked on 12 September 2026, records Morgan as holding a current practising certificate as an employee of Trapski Pty Ltd — the entity through which Trapski Family Law practises, and at which its principal, Alison Trapski, is registered as principal — with family law as the nominated area of practice.
What the register category means. “Employee without Trust” means a practitioner who holds a current Victorian practising certificate as an employee of a law practice and is not personally authorised to receive trust money; trust money is handled by the practice under its principal. The category says nothing about seniority or years of experience, which the register does not record.
What the firm publishes. Trapski Family Law lists Morgan Madden on its team page with a photograph, but does not publish roles, biographies or areas of focus for individual staff. This profile therefore does not describe Morgan’s experience or the matters Morgan handles personally. If the firm supplies a biography it will be added here and attributed to the firm.
What the firm’s reviews say. Several of Trapski Family Law’s Google reviews name a solicitor by the first name “Morgan” and describe a specific matter. We have not verified that those reviews refer to Morgan Madden, and the firm’s 4.2-star rating is a firm-level score, not a rating of any individual. The reviews are analysed on the firm profile.
