​"Excellent lawyer. No fear of trying a case."

                              When someone is charged with a criminal offense, literally 

                                everything is on the line.  The possible ramifications from

                                  just a single charge include inconvenience,  

                                 incarceration, loss of reputation, financial devastation, loss of employment, uncertainty and even family crisis.  

That is why when facing a criminal charge, it is vital to have a law firm representing you that has a proven track record.  Having tried more than twenty criminal jury trials, we have the experience and know how to handle cases involving criminal charges, no matter how serious and complex.

Matt's reputation has been vetted by other attorneys, and Matt's Martindale AV Preeminent peer rating reflects the respect he has earned by other attorneys throughout the State of Mississippi. 

While Matt knows how to get results in the courtroom, Matt also understands that avoiding a trial is often preferable to a verdict of acquittal.  The best case scenario is when the criminal indictment never materializes and you never have to see a jury.  This takes a great attorney who is also a great negotiator. You need someone who has earned the respect of prosecutors.  This requires someone who has shown they can win in a courtroom.  When Matt sits down at the negotiating table for you, prosecutors know that if they decide to let a case go to trial, there is a real risk they will lose.

Matt has represented businesses, bankers, politicians, television personalities, physicians and other professionals both in State and Federal Court.  And while some of our cases make the headlines, often our results never make the news. This is the result of effective and tenacious negotiating outside the courtroom. 

Unfortunately, not every situation can be resolved quickly or quietly.  And, few attorneys have tried more cases than Matt has.  Matt has a track record of taking difficult cases to trial, and winning them.  And, this helps Matt obtain favorable resolutions for his clients.  When Matt tell a prosecutor that he will go to trial, the threat is taken seriously. Most prosecutors protect their reputations, and when they know Matt is involved, his presence helps facilitate a better resolution because prosecutors don't want the embarrassment of a loss on their record. 

Simply put, when everything important is on the line, trust Matt A. Baldridge to fight for you.
