Best Attorney

Todd handled my case for the past three years. He stood beside me, encouraged me and spoke to me whenever I needed. In the end, he was a miracle worker, I was sentenced to 3 years which was dismissed to probation only, unheard of for the crime, just unbelievable. He prepared me for prison which never... came to fruition, guided me on books to read to help me cope and was a true friend. He stood by me from start to finish, I owe Todd Baldwin my life, he truly saved me, believed in me and worked for me endlessly. Todd Baldwin is a keeper and you would be lucky to have him represent you.

Miracle Worker

To be honest, I was not impressed at first. My fiance' hired him. He was honestly not my first choice. But.. When I say this man worked not one but two miracles in a matter of three days.... 3 days is all it took to make the mess that was hovering over our future vanish. Good man there!! Have neve...r been so happy about being so wrong.....

A very caring Soul

Mr. Baldwin IA a fantastic lawyer. I as the mother of his client I was devastated when my son was arrested, my son hired Mr. Baldwin and I'm so glad he did. Talk about a job well done. I could not thank him enough for getting my son out. He did a wonderful job. If anyone needs a great lawyer I would ...always recommend him. Thanks again Mr. Baldwin and bless you.

A Compassionate Advocate

The American criminal justice system can be a frightening experience. Don’t expect “understanding” from law enforcement, prosecutors and judges. Instead, once you are in the system you’re treated as a number to be processed. It can be overwhelming. Into this maelstrom stepped attorney Todd Baldwin wh...o defended my children. Above all Mr. Baldwin is a compassionate advocate! While many attorneys have their eyes on the clock, Todd Baldwin went above and beyond and took the time to see our case through to a successful conclusion. 35 5-star AVVO reviews are a testament to his ability and character. He should run for office and work to improve a system that is desperately in need of reform.
