Ready to Help You Right Now

After being charged with a crime, you need to know that your lawyer is ready to help you with the best defense possible, right here and right now.

I am available when you need me most.

I am attorney Ernest Bauer of the Law Office of Ernest J. Bauer Jr. I am a different kind of lawyer. I return your calls promptly and will take the time to meet with you and your family wherever it is most convenient for you. I keep my cell phone on 24 hours a day for client emergencies.

I am serious when I say that I will do everything I can to help you. I will make the time to come to the jail or your home to meet with you and your family without delay when you need me. I know that you need answers now, not next week.

I provide aggressive defense for charges such as:

DWI/DUI : A DUI arrest doesn't always mean a DUI conviction. I am a full-service DUI/DWI defense lawyer, representing you through charges for:

  • First offense drunk driving
  • Multiple DUI/DWI offenses
  • Felony DUI/DWI
  • Driver's license revocation and reinstatement
  • Vehicular injury charges
  • Reckless driving

Drug offenses : I offer aggressive criminal defense for charges involving possession or distribution of illegal drugs, such as marijuana or cocaine.

Violent crimes : I provide complete representation to help you get your charges dropped or reduced, when possible, for violent crimes such as assault or homicide.

Domestic violence : A domestic violence charge can impact your relationship with your family, especially if a restraining order or protective order is granted. I help clients avoid such drastic measures.

Theft crimes : I offer vigorous defense against charges involving stolen money or property such as car theft, burglary and robbery.

In addition, I have extensive experience helping juveniles who have been charged with criminal offenses find alternatives to jail or prison. I also defend people who have been charged with violating the terms of their probation or parole.
