Maureen Furlong Baldwin

I came to Maureen after being charged with driving under the influence of drugs from a motorcycle accident. From the moment I spoke to her about my case, I knew I wanted her to defend me. Although she did not promise any particular outcome, she was reassuring and alleviated a lot of the stress and an...xiety I was dealing with. Communication with Maureen was easy; she is immediately responsive with text messages and available same-day I wanted to drop by her office to talk, even though I'm sure she has a very busy schedule. She explained how the entire process works and was there to represent me for every court date. Maureen seems to have a great relationship with the Santa Clara district attorneys and judges, and was able to get my misdemeanor DUI drugs charge reduced to a much less serious infraction charge of driving too fast for road conditions. There was a point during the process where although they agreed that I wasn't driving under the influence, the DA still wanted to charge me with misdemeanor speeding. She was able to reason with them and I was thankfully never charged with that. I hope to never have to use Maureen again, but would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that finds themselves in a bad situation, like I did.

I hired Maureen after I got my first DUI (.09 BAC). I was very nervous and anxious since I have never been in trouble with the law (even as a teen). She thoroughly explained the court proceedings and explained to me in details on what to expect during court arraignment, possible outcome, etc. She wa...s very honest and didn't make any false promises. She is extremely a hard working, experienced attorney who is very familiar with Santa Clara County court system. At the end, she was able to negotiate my charges down to a reduced charge of (wet) reckless driving. This outcome wouldn't have been possible without her assistance! First of all, don't make the same mistake like I made by drinking and driving...because you will eventually get caught! Use taxi, Uber, or get a motel! But god forbid if you are dumb enough to get a DUI then I highly recommend her services. She will work hard for you and her prices are very reasonable!

Maureen is very professional and a great attorney. She make sure she is always available for her client. She listen very patiently, give her honest opinions, dont make false promises, discuss clearly all the options available and chose the best one to go. I am very thankful to her for her precious ti...me and recommend her strongly!

My wife was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada for a legal matter that was filed against her in California. She was being held in Las Vegas awaiting California to extradite her. I hired Maureen Baldwin to help us with the case and from day one she gathered all the details and got in touch with the DA in C...alifornia. She also worked with our attorney in Las Vegas and my wife was released in 3days from Las Vegas jail to go to California to answer the charges, normally she would've been held 30days till California would come to get her. Maureen was prefessional, attentive, and provided step by step guidance. We were lucky to have her handle the case. Later on, she worked out a deal with the DA and they dismissed all the charges. I highly recommend Maureen Baldwin, she is an excellent Attorney.

I feel so lucky that I found Mrs. Maureen Baldwin at the critical time. I retained her as my criminal attorney for a misdemeanor charge, and she met all aspects of my expectations. At first, as an attorney, she is so powerful. I fired my previous lazy attorney, after he spent more than two months... going back and forth but without making any progress, and retained Maureen at the critical time. She is resourceful on how to work with the DA, and she knows when to take actions and when to step back. Only after two weeks that she took over my case, she was able to got my case dismissed!! She is definitely strong in her profession, and she came up with a clever and clean point to deal with the charge, so that the DA had to dismiss my case. Secondly, she is always responsive. She answers my every call and replies my every email on time in terms of minutes. I cannot believe how a successful and busy lawyer like her can manage to be so attentive as she does. She even replied my after-hour emails when I needed updates from her. At last, but not least important, she is compassionate. She understand my needs and how important things mean to me. She talked directly to the DA that the charge on me was stupid, and asked how would the DA feel to have my case go to trial. I don't know what else I can expect from an attorney, let alone her rate is very competitive. She is well worth the money but also my sincere respect.
