Maureen will take care of you!
Maureen did an excellent job helping me out of a very frustrating situation. I was serving a 3-year probation for an assault charge, and she was able to get me off probation early the day I graduated college, just in time for my upcoming wedding and honeymoon. Not only did she get me off probation e...

Excellent work
I had the pleasure of meeting Maureen under very unpleasant circumstances. She was extremely professional, through, and discreet. She handled my case as someone who really cares would. I would highly recommend Maureen.

Maureen Furlong Baldwin's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the opportunity to witness her work in the courtroom and have found her to be diligent and hardworking. She is well respected in the legal community."
"Having observed Maureen for almost 20 years, I have witnessed not only her superb legal skills, but also her personalized, caring service. Maureen's ability to quickly and expertly assess a criminal case sets her apart from many of her peers. Her unique combination of skills enables her clients to successfully overcome whatever hurdles they may come across in the litigation process with relative ease. I endorse this lawyer."
"Maureen is one of the best and most prepared lawyers in San Jose, or for that matter the whole state. We have worked on several cases together and she was always two steps ahead of me. If you have the opportunity hire her for your case. Truthfully, there are very few local lawyers I would hire if I were in trouble. Maureen is one of them."
"I endorse this lawyer. Guerin Provini"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Maureen Baldwin for many years. She is a true fighter. She knows the law well. She is an excellant attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Ms. Baldwin is a “litigator’s litigatorâ€. Tough as nails when the situation demands it, but, charming as can be when it does not. The more serious the nature of the offense, the greater are the reasons why Ms. Baldwin should be contacted. Not to suggest, however, that every client she represents has an ultra serious offense. She is “book-smart†as well as “street-smartâ€. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I admire Ms. Baldwin's meticulous preparation and understanding of the potential immigration consequences of a client's criminal case."
"Maureen represented a co-defendant on a very long criminal defense trial (over three months). Maureen took the position of lead cross-examination and did a superlative job. Her vast experience in the court room was readily apparent and all of the other co-counsels benefited from her knowledge of the facts and the application of the law."
