Chester Baldwin is a Washington-based attorney, lobbyist, and business advisor with 20 years of experience helping clients navigate law, government, and business formation. As founder of Baldwin Legal Group, PLLC, he has built a practice where prosecutorial experience meets real-world strategy.
Chester began his career as a Rule 9 Prosecutor with the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney's Office before moving to private practice in Olympia. That insider perspective shapes his DUI defense work — he understands precisely how cases are built, and exactly where they can be challenged.
As principal of Lobby Washington, LLC, he represents associations and industries before the Washington State Legislature, working directly with lawmakers, the Governor's office, and state agencies on business-critical legislation. And through myLLCAttorneys.com, powered by Baldwin Legal Group, PLLC, he has helped hundreds of Washington entrepreneurs form LLCs and corporations correctly from day one.
Today, Chester's practice spans three focused areas — DUI defense, government affairs and lobbying, and business entity formation — informed throughout by the same conviction: that experience inside Washington's legal and political systems is the most valuable asset a client can have on their side.
