Review Keith Baldwin

First Class Attorney

Posted by anonymousMon Jul 09 2007

Keith was referred by a good friend of mine and he has worked with me on numerous projects. He is brilliant, creative, has made and saved me a great deal of money and is a pleasure to work with. I believe that he truly enjoys what he does and it shows in the quality of his work. He may be overkill for small, straightforward contracts but I wouldn't hire anyone else for business or securities work.

Client Review

Posted by anonymousMon Jun 11 2007

Keith was an excellent corporate attorney for the software startup where I previously worked. He had the knowledge and resources you would expect from a big firm, yet he truly understands how to help an emerging company grow. He looked for ways to be more efficient and kept costs under our budget. Keith and Davis Wright Tremaine served our company well through good times and bad, and I always trusted the advice and guidance he provided.
