Very professional, always there to answer any questions you may have about your case I would strongly recommend him. I'm from Texas and he took care of everything without taking time from me to work for my family.Jays Kids
I found myself in the unfortunate event of getting pulled over by overzealous cops who have nothing else to do but pick on people. A retainer later Ernie came to the rescue, he was a Superhero in a suit. He quickly got involved and let his presence be known.
He broke down the charges, and worked diligently to resolve my case. I can confidently say we got the best outcome after months of waiting and court date postponing.
As a tourist from another city I did not know what to expect and had to use a good friend’s judgement to find Ernie.
Don't waste your time looking for other legal aid options if you have already come in contact with Him.Ezequiel Negrete

Best lawyer in Louisiana. Caring, Professional, and who you need in your corner.Aaron Lindsey
Mr. Bauer is definitely the best attorney in the St. Tammany area. First of all he's very understanding and flexible with finicial situations. Secondly you can tell just from interacting with him that he's genuinely kind and cares about getting what's best for his clients, unlike other attorneys who look for the easiest route possible while taking your money. Lastly he's very punctual and is always quick to respond to phone calls and questions. If you want proper representation then I would very much recommend Mr. Bauer.Dakota Drake
Ernest Bauer is by far one of the best attorneys in St. Tammany Parish. Not only is he professional, but he is someone who genuinely cares for his clients.

He won’t just tell you what you want to hear and he is a person who is actually honest in his career. He is worth every penny. I would recommend Ernest to anyone in need of a great lawyer.Amanda Foster
Ernie worked hard to find me Justice in my troubles with the law. He got me the best possible outcome from a terrible fiasco I found myself involved in. I will hire him again if needed in the future.Jordan Bennett
Mr. Bauer was very pleasant to work with. He was AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, DILIGENT, PROFESSIONAL, and THOROUGH!!!
We had an extremely hard case but he managed to do the impossible. He gave us the best outcome! Trust me, we were seeking several lawyers and he was the most upfront, affordable, and successful.
You can’t beat that! He will give it to you how it is and won’t sugarcoat anything but he will always have the client’s best interest. Not only that, but he was very easy to communicate and reach when you needed him and will give you updates throughout the process. It doesn’t matter where you reside in the New Orleans area, he is the BEST lawyer around!!!!Kathy Nguyen

Mr. Bauer is an amazing attorney. He took genuine care of me and my case.

My experience with Ernie Bauer was amazing.. He absolutely puts his everything into his cases! I would recommend Mr. Bauer for any legal needs needed.Brandie Moore
I was dealing with some pretty heavy stuff legally when I reached out to Mr. Bauer. I was looking at doing serious jail time and leaving my family to struggle without me. After six months of anxiety and stress, I can say I was lucky and blessed to have him as my attorney. He fought hard for me and I walked out of court today a free man. The way I see it he saved my family years of hardship without me and gave me a second chance at life. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel toward Mr. Bauer and I hope one day to be in a position where I can give back to him as much as he has given us. I recommend him highly to anyone who is in a tough position and needs help like I did. Thank you Mr. Bauer 🙏Zombie Chris
Ernie helped me handle some legal issues I had quickly and effectively. He was fair on cost and was with me through each step of the process. Highly recommend his services.David Helbling
I wish I could give Mr. Bauer 6 stars if I could! He puts forth his whole HEART into his work. It's quite rare to find a highly reputable attorney who does not treat you as just another #. Ernie is extremely personable, professional, compassionate, intelligent and assiduous. I truly feel like Ernie made the absolute impossible, happen. I'll be eternally grateful to him for his absolute patience, empathy and dedication. Because of Mr. Bauers' successful efforts, I feel that a huge, 1000 lb. weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I just cry.... Expressing how huge of a relief his help has been. He went above and beyond for me. He is also very accommodating with the payment process. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Thank you so much Ernie! G-d bless you and your loved ones.Asma Esther Kiani
I cannot say enough good things about Ernie. I've dealt with a few lawyers in my life and Ernie is by far the best. He is relentless in serving his clients and went over and above the norm in helping me. If you have a criminal issue and want the most favorable outcome, then look no farther than Ernie Bauer.Tim Burns
I would recommend this law firm to any one .
Mr.Bauer helped my family and I for many years
Truly Thankful !!
God Bless you All !!Chanelle Price
Last year, I was at the lowest point in my life-I was lost and needed help in navigating this whole legal process I was facing. I was having a whole host of concerns that had me feeling extremely anxious, afraid, and defeated, knowing that I was facing the unknown and facing consequences that could potentially change my entire life.
When I met Ernie, I was terrified and panicking. Ernie was so compassionate and patient with me and he didn't make me feel like just another client, he made me feel like his friend.
We exchanged information about my case, and were able to quickly build rapport and trust. He was sympathetic when discussing my fears associated with criminal charges and the consequences that were pending against me. He took time to understand my current situation, develop my case, and worked with me to decide on a course of action.
The positive end result he was able to achieve helped me get my life back on track. He took the initiative to go beyond my expectations and pursue a resolution for my case, while being understanding of my financial situation and working with me to ensure that I retained legal representation throughout my case, and I will never ever be able thank him enough for being there for me during the hardest, most trying time in my life !!
If you're seeking legal help from someone who truly cares about the welfare of his clients and who always goes beyond the call of duty, call Ernie today!Mary Clare Tranum
