The Baldwin Law Firm, LLC

Sam Leven, an attorney of the Baldwin Law Firm, efficiently resolved my issue, and I was more than satisfied with his professional comportment and performance. Before working with Sam, I talked with three other attorneys, but selected Sam because of how he answered my questions during our free 30 minute consultation, reviews from other satisfied clients, his competitive rate, and that he graduated from UVA, a top 10 law school. Additionally, the Baldwin Law Firm’s website has helpful resources for potential clients, and he keeps a legal blog, which gave me confidence in his professional commitment.
Sam is very responsive in his communications, and if he knew he wouldn’t be available because he was in court, he would let me know. Without my prompting, Sam pro-​actively followed up with opposing counsel, focused on my priorities, took the lead developing an initial plan, advised me on a course of action, and was open to my suggested changes. I felt comfortable asking Sam questions, and he impressed me by the thoroughness of his answers. He may have been on multiple other cases, but I always knew that he would respond to me within a day or two. For his expertise and skill, Sam exceeded my expectations.

I wish I could give the Baldwin Firm more than 5 stars! As a busy professional, I didn’t have time for a complicated lawsuit, and Sam Leven put my mind at ease from our initial consultation. Not only did he provide outstanding legal expertise, but he promptly took over as my case manager. I received frequent updates with concisely bullet-​pointed action items, like: «please print the attached document and mail it to me with your notarized signature.» I didn’t have to keep track of to-​do lists or worry about filing deadlines.
The Baldwin Firm is truly full-​service, and Sam is both hungry to win and deeply committed to ethical law practice. Oh yeah, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case! I sincerely hope that I never need an attorney again, because I have moved out of state and Sam couldn’t represent me now! Scary thought.

Legal representation is expensive. But if you really need a lawyer, you can’t afford not to hire the Baldwin firm. And you REALLY can’t afford to let your opponent hire them first.
In particular, I’ve had the privilege of working with Sam Leven, who successfully prevailed over two different court cases. He was responsive, efficient, organized and confident from start to winning finish. Being forced into a legal dispute is daunting; it’s an overwhelming relief to place the process and outcome in such capable hands.

The Baldwin Law Firm LLC was referred to me by a colleague of mine. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Roy Baldwin help me out with a family law issue. Mr. Baldwin set the appropriate expectations of how my issues were going to be resolved and sure enough, this was handled exactly as I had hoped. Without going into all the details, I want to highly recommend The Baldwin Law firm and Mr. Roy Baldwin and his staff. Thanks!!!

This review complies with the Baldwin Law Firm’s «CEASE AND DESIST» warning of «legal action against me» for warning the public:
My opinion of The Baldwin Law Firm, LLC is to avoid hiring them. The firm never provided a written fee agreement during the 46 days I retained them. He stated my case would take an estimated 10 hours of his time. After three weeks, my first bill included charges for less then half the agreed flat fee I paid. After replacing the firm for poor service a month later, I received a bill at eight times the amount of the first bill for services totaling 39.5 hours which I disputed. In my opinion, they attempted to win a judgment without my knowledge. They lost their lawsuit against me in General District Court for lack of written contract, but appealed in Circuit Court and convinced a Judge to reverse the GDC decision because, based on a lawyer’s comment to me after trial, I represented myself. They also keep a permanent copy of your credit card #, expiration date AND CVV2 code which is submitted to the courts as evidence. My credit card was compromised and closed by my bank. Through my research after he filed a lawsuit in 2012, I discovered the Fairfax GDC Online Case Information System and counted over 100 instances of warrant in debt type cases against former clients since 2007 which demonstrate, in my opinion, the amount of time spent on former clients while advertising family law practice for current clients. The Baldwin Law Firm displays in their email signature the Martindale-​Hubbell Client Distinction Award Winner — 2013.
