Baldridge Law Firm P

Divorce
Matthew is truly one of the most humble souls I've come across in life, which was refreshing. He kept a calm demeanor throughout, even when buttons were pushed. He will represent you well and leave your faith restored in the justice system and in humanity." Divorce Law Client
Child Support
We are pleased to announce that we recently obtained a judgment in favor of our client in the amount of $86,000 for past due child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
We recently were retained to help a mother shield her daughter from a father whose increasingly illicit and irresponsible behavior was putting his daughter's health and social well being at great risk. Within two days of being retained, we were able to have an emergency hearing, and the father's visitation was immediately suspended until he took some affirmative steps to getting the help he needs. Of all the work we do, Child Custody cases give us the most fulfillment as we know we are helping those who are the most innocent and most at risk.
Adoption
After several hours of investigation and follow up, Matt was able to help a family with a step-parent adoption where the natural father had not been involved in the child's life since birth and could no longer be found.
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Baldridge & Associates, PLLC in Madison County, Mississippi handles family law matters including joint divorce, contested divorce, fault grounds divorce, background investigations, emergency relief, temporary relief, prenuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, property division, child custody, paternity, DNA testing, habeas corpus, writ of assistance, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, alimony, contempt, modification, child support, adoptions, conservatorships, and guardianships. When you need a family law practice attorney in Madison, MS who has proven he can win, hire Matt A. Baldridge.
Guardianship
While not technically estate planning mechanisms, nevertheless, we include these here because conservatorships and guardianships are often needed by children as a way of managing the affairs of a parent or disabled loved one. When you need the tool necessary to help you manage the affairs of a parent or child, we can help you get what you need to get the job done.
Spousal Support
In a recent hard-fought fault grounds divorce case where our client suffered years of emotional abuse at the hands of an unfaithful spouse, we were happy to deliver a settlement to our client wherein they walked away with over 90% of the assets from the marital estate. We knew our work was cut out for us when opposing counsel's initial counter-offer demanded the parties split the equity from the sale of the marital home, demanded our client pay thousands in cash as an equalizing payment and further demanded alimony. Nevertheless, we took opposing counsel to task and immediately began an aggressive discovery campaign and held firm on what we felt like our client deserved. And, our efforts paid off. Within a matter of days, we were able to deliver a final judgment of divorce and property settlement agreement to our client that was better than what the client initially asked for. While not every case ends with the client getting over 90% of the marital assets, the

Criminal Defense
Uncommon for some criminal defense attorneys to shy away from handling federal criminal defense cases. One of the main reasons is because of the infamous "Sentencing Guidelines," and their inherent complexities. Our experience and knowledge of working with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines came to the aid of a client recently, saving him literally a decade of his freedom. After receiving our client's Pre-Sentence Investigation Report, it was clear our client was facing up to 210 months in federal prison. Knowing that our case involved a violent crime and that our client had a violent criminal history, it was apparent that we had a tough battle ahead to obtain a reasonable sentence for our client. After researching the guidelines and the applicable case law, we drafted an argument asking the court to use a base offense level of 14 instead of the 33 that the Government and the Probation Officer believed was appropriate. Often times clients in federal criminal cases are happy to get a 2, 3 or 4 level reduction. In our experience, getting a 19 level reduction is basically unheard of. However, knowing what was at stake, we put forth our best argument and anxiously waited for the sentencing date to arrive.
DUI/DWI
Through careful strategy and planning, an experienced federal corrections employee was able to keep his job after we successfully negotiated a dismissal of a questionable DUI charge. DUI charges are notoriously difficult to defeat; however, our firm has proven time and time again that we can successfully handle cases regardless of the complexities involved.
Traffic Violations
After persistent and diligent representation, Matt convinced the DA's office to dismiss a felony indictment against our client in a case involving no evidence of our client's guilt. The case involved our client getting pulled over for a routine traffic violation while traveling with a passenger. As the police approached the vehicle, the passenger attempted to flee, and as he ran off, a bag of drugs fell out of his pant leg. Through quick action, we were able to secure an affidavit from the passenger that stated that our client was not responsible for the drugs and that our client had no knowledge that the passenger was carrying the drugs. In the days leading up to the trial, it became evident that the passenger was not going to come to trial to testify on behalf of our client. We then had our investigator attempt to serve the passenger with a subpoena in order to secure our ability to get the affidavit admitted as evidence during the trial as a statement from an unavailable witness. Once the DA's office realized we were serious about going to trial, they dismissed the felony indictment two days before trial was to begin.
Sex Crimes
Recently we tried a case against the District Attorney in Madison County, Mississippi involving charges against our client of rape and aggravated assault. Our client was adamant from day one that he was innocent, and our investigation of the "victim" caused us to believe he was telling the truth. Even though our client was facing a sentence of life in prison, he chose to go to trial. At trial, upon our recommendation, the client took the witness stand and testified in his own defense. Our theme throughout trial was centered around a quote from Abraham Lincoln that says "No person has a good enough memory to be a successful liar." With our vigorous cross examination of the "victim," we were able to successfully show that despite her best efforts, the "victim" proved Abraham Lincoln was right. We were able to show that the "victim" had changed her story multiple times and the jury decided that she, like many before her, failed at being a successful liar. After a brief deliberation, the jury returned verdicts of "Not Guilty" on both charges!
Fraud

When you need a criminal defense attorney in Madison, MS who has proven he can win, hire Matt A. Baldridge.
Burglary
In a recent house burglary case, during our investigation, we were able to obtain statements that challenged the prosecutor's theory of the case. In fact, our investigation determined that the house burglary was likely committed by a relative of the victim as opposed to our client. And, after negotiations with the chief prosecutor, the State decided to dismiss all charges against our client. Our client was facing up to twenty-five years if convicted and had maintained his innocence throughout his trial proceedings.
Theft
Misdemeanors
After going up against two veteran prosecutors, Matt was successful in proving our client was not guilty of felony shoplifting. The case involved a client who had admitted to stealing some items from a local retail store, all valued at less than $500.00. However, the store, after going back and looking at surveillance video, decided that the client had stolen everything he touched, even though he was never seen leaving the store with any of those items. The value of all of the items alleged stolen by the store, when added together, exceeded $500, which made the crime felony shoplifting. Had the client been convicted of Felony Shoplifting, he was looking at serving seven years of mandatory time. Instead, because of Matt's effective court room strategy, the client got what he deserved: a conviction for misdemeanor shoplifting, which only carries a maximum of six months in the county jail.
Embezzlement
We represented a client charged with embezzlement, who otherwise had a clean history and a proven track record of responsible behavior. This was an unfortunate situation where our client made a few bad choices, which quickly led to a crisis spinning out of control. As a result of our experience and relationships, we were able to negotiate a resolution that requires her to pay back what she took, yet, still gives her an opportunity to move past this and prove that she is not defined by her mistake! Some people do not understand criminal defense, and have an opinion that all defense lawyers do is try to "get people off." After years of experience representing clients charged with criminal offenses, often we have found that instead of a hardened criminal committing yet another crime, our cases often involve good people...who made some bad decisions. In those situations, we strive to help resolve the case through proactive representation and creative plea-bargaining. A great defense attorney does not look at every case as an opportunity to have a guilty person adjudged innocent. A great defense attorney evaluates every case individually, and uses their experience and knowledge of the law to decide the best strategy to use on their client's behalf.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Recently, we were retained to help a client charged with a violent felony crime carrying a sentence of up to twenty years in prison. The case involved our client being accused of aggravated assault. However, after our investigation, we learned that our client clearly acted in self-defense, and further, the District Attorney who brought the case did not have jurisdiction. We gathered statements from witnesses who saw what happened and created exhibits in-house using satellite imagery overlaid on county GIS property maps to show where the alleged incident took place in relation to the County line.
