Answer: At the Law Office of San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney Maureen Furlong Baldwin, attorney Baldwin will personally handle your case. Many people complain that when they research a criminal defense attorney, the lawyer that they hired does not actually come to court. That is not the case in the San Jose Criminal Law Office. I take your case seriously, whether it is a petty theft, a domestic violence, or a murder, and will handle it personally.
As with all San Jose Criminal Defense Lawyers with an established practice, there are times when the attorney is in trial or has been ordered by the court to be in two courts at the same time. I am sensitive that your time is valuable. When those situations occur where I am scheduled to cover two matters, I let the client know in advance. In many instances, it is not necessary for the client to be in court for every court appearance. When there is an unavoidable conflict, I will associate another criminal defense attorney to cover your court appearance, simply to postpone the matter until I am available.
Your phone calls regarding the status of your criminal case will be returned quickly, no later than the evening after court. I communicate by e-mail and am happy to update my clients about the status of their case via e-mail if this is what they wish. However, your privacy is paramount. I will not leave case status voice mails or e-mails, or send U.S. mail unless I am informed that you personally will be able to access these communications. The Law Office of San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney Maureen Furlong Baldwin will treat your case with all the personal attention and care that is required.
