Legal Eagle by Tom Baldwin’ was a column run by The Irish Star in 1990. It was a popular column answering legal questions from the public. Readers were encouraged ‘IF you have a legal problem, why not write to Legal Eagle, Early and Baldwin Solicitors, 27-28, Marino Mart, Fairview, Dublin 3.
Tom had been put in touch with The Star as they had shown an interest in running such a column. They wanted Early & Baldwin though to handle the column themselves and just submit copy on a weekly basis. While it did not run every week, it became very popular and continued for several months and Tom found it quite entertaining to deal with such varied and sometimes humourous queries. Both Paddy Murray and Terry McGeehan were very helpful with the column and for this we’re grateful.
Tom went on to write for the Sunday Independent on the child abuse scandals associated with Irish swimming and has been quoted throughout the years and used as a source by many newspaper and television journalists.
It is my intention to revisit the Legal Eagle archives and reproduce some of them here. To think it was over twenty years ago that the column started in it’s original form. Enjoy.

Lawyers urged to use EU law to fight home repossessions
I'm calling on all #Solicitors and Members of the Bar to stand up for our Citizens when attacked by the #Banks as they attempt to repossess their homes. Stand up to #BigLaw who have done the legal profession nothing but resentment from all right thinking people. Enough is Enough. Stand up for our people !

Will the Citizen has access to the legal profession? Not if the Big Corporations have any say about it!
I qualified as a solicitor in 1980. I had no connections in law at all and if it wasn't for the endeavours of my late father, I couldn't have pursued my legal studies. He worked hard to provide me with an education and without him and the support of my mother, I'd never have succeeded. For the previous couple of years or so before qualifying, I had been influenced by Inge Clissmann and Aedan McGovern, both barristers and now Senior Counsel.

The Real Tom Baldwin (1916-2000)
If my father had lived, he would have been 100 years old today. Sadly we lost him in January 2000 after a routine operation went wrong. While I was angry at the surgeon, I blamed myself as I should have noticed his health deteriorating sooner. That fact I will have to live with. Thomas Patrick Baldwin was born on Sept 8th, 1916 in Broughton Street, Dundalk. [ 714 more words ] https://legaleaglestar.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/the-real-tom-baldwin-1916-2000

In Ireland today, we are constantly being told that 'The Recovery' is happening. No longer are the dark days of The Troika, IMF upon us. Well, those that I work with and indeed our many clients don't seem to be experiencing 'The Recovery'. Of course we at Early & Baldwin do not act for Big Business nor corporate giants. That is by choice I can assure you ! [ 603 more words. ] https://legaleaglestar.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/shop-local
A lot of people we act for are feeling no recovery in their lives despite all the talk and spin from politicians. These are indeed trying and depressing times. Please use your Vote in the upcoming General Election. It is your Right to use your Vote as you please. Please question all politicians and make your own mind up. Personally, I'm impressed with the Right2Change candidates. Please consider them but make your own decision based on what you feel will benefit you and your neighbours. Thank You and Good Luck.
