Litigation 75%

Total cases not calculated. Many of my recent cases challenged (or challenge) action by federal, state, county, and city government, primarily but not exclusively involving real property rights.

37 years

75%
Real Estate 25%

Total transactions unknown. Typically, I represent either the buyer or seller (never both), often to assist with earnest money and contract formation. I also assist in reviewing proposed closing instructions and security instruments to collateralize the balance of the purchase price. Occasionally, I will draft a land sale contract as a substitute for a trust deed, usually where the seller insists. I represent one party to the transaction only, never both.

Posted by Pamela | March 21, 2012 | Lawsuits & Disputes

An attorney with integrity who has heart, a rare combination these days in the legal profession.

I have had a fairly positive legal experience with two legal disputes I have currently in the courts in the state of Oregon. Initially, I began both suits as a pro se litigant, but as my cases became more complex, I decided to bring in professional help. Mr. Baldwin was open to listening to my... cause, my concerns and mostly guided me to where I developed complete trust and eventually, I hired him. I have no regrets. Navigating through the legal process is time consuming....and I have a great respect for the effort he has put forth in my cases. Mr. Baldwin has a practical approach yet is very wise when it comes to reading people, their intentions...an honesty quotient if you will. I found that I could present complicated facts and he would effortlessly compile my research or facts into a comprehensive pleading and yet would be proactive when it came to anticipating the opposing counsels responses. A brilliant mind, a professional demeanor and a great presence in the court room if he is litigating for you. I would have no problem referring this very down to earth person to anyone who wants excellent and honest representation in a legal dispute.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2001

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Sample of Legal Cases

Outddor Media Dimensions v Oregon Department of Transportation

Portion of statutory regime determined unconsitutional as applied to plaintiff.
