World class representation. Always there for me when I needed him. Can’t recommend him enoughPerry James
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 was amazing and professional. He was very caring and consistent to explain processes to me, help walk me through my best options, and get my case settled in an efficient and pain-free manner. I would highly recommend him.Blake Adams
I couldn't have had a better experience with Ernest. He did everything he said he would and performed incredibly. Highly recommended.Taylor Holder
Where should I start? Mr.Bauer was very personable, responded quickly, and with very knowledgeable information, and answers. Mr. Bauer was always honest with me about my case, and always steered me in the right directions. Mr. Bauer also fought tooth and nails for me and went over and beyond to help grant a judgement that’s fits. Mr. Ernest is by far the best lawyer on the Northshore. There should be a Six Star Rating!rico keller
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
I highly recommend Mr. Bauer. He worked hard for me! I appreciate him greatly.Courtney Savoie
If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight your case the best he can, is a go getter in and out the court room, responds persistently with integrity and honesty, dresses sharp in the court room, not messy or sloppy, then you found the best I’ve ever seen inside the 22nd judicial court room. I’m humbled and thankful for, Ernie and all he’s done.Michael Lemonier
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
Very informative and easy to talk to I appreciate him taking the time to talk to meSarah Humphries
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
