There is no one better in Cowlitz County!

Chelsea was my attorney for a long, drawn out divorce case that lasted over 2 years and went to trial. From day one, Chelsea never steered me wrong. She was focused, attentive to my case and never let the ball drop. Even when the other side played dirty, Chelsea never did and used facts, case law and... her sheer brilliance to navigate us through it. Even during the trial, she was cool, calm, collected and knew just the right moments to strike. Every step that she made along the way was a calculated move to strengthen my case. She helped me protect myself and my children during the most difficult time in our lives and I could not be more happy with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to Chelsea! You won’t find anyone better!

Divorce 1st time. Ex wife wanting more child support 2nd time.

Chelsea Baldwin handles everything in a professional manor. Very informative always willing to answer any question but deep down is the heart of a lion with the knowledge to back it up. My divorce was long and drawn out like most are. In the end I was very happy. The second time I had to hire her she... graciously worked with me on the retainer fee and end amount as well. Once again my ex tried everything as did her lawyer but Chelsea wouldn't have it. With her knowledge and unwillingness to back down she once again proved she is the best in the business.

Hire her!

I would be lost without Chelsea Baldwin's help with my family law case. She's the most professional lawyer I've ever met with. Intelligent, honest, precise and to the point. I was impressed watching her in court. I trust her and I don't trust easily. Her assistant has been very helpful as well, answe...ring my questions over the phone. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel. I wish i'de found her sooner. I would've hired her for my divorce.

Family Law

Chelsea is the best family law attorney in the area. She is aggressive and fearless. I was impressed how organized she is in court and she always makes clients feel at ease. From divorces to adoptions, she is who I would turn to in a family law situation.

Divorce attorney

Mrs. Baldwin is the best divorce attorney in the area. As with most divorces, mine was messy and complicated, but with her representing me I was able to get through the process and still keep my sanity.
