Baldwin, Florida
Baldwin is a small incorporated town in western Duval County, inland near the Baker County line, where Interstate 10 and U.S. 301 meet. It is a different Jacksonville-area community from the Beaches or from Riverside: a historic railroad town with a west-county character, not an oceanfront city. People in Baldwin who need a criminal-defense, family-law, or injury lawyer work with The Bonderud Law Firm at 2130 Riverside Avenue, in Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood. We do not have an office in Baldwin. That Riverside address is the firm’s only office.
Still a Duval County case
Because Baldwin is in Duval County, state criminal, family, and many civil matters are generally heard in the Fourth Judicial Circuit in downtown Jacksonville, at the Duval County courthouse, not in a west-county annex that replaces that courthouse. Federal criminal matters and many Hague Convention petitions are heard in the United States District Court downtown. The geography is west of the city; the principal trial courts remain downtown.
Coming east to Riverside
The usual route from Baldwin is east on I-10 toward Jacksonville, then south and west of downtown into Riverside, or along U.S. 90 (Beaver Street) for part of the approach. That is the opposite direction from the drive a Beaches client makes, and it is worth planning for traffic on the interstate. We meet Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern. After-hours and weekend messages are reviewed the next business day.
