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

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 is very responsive and will get back with you in a timely manner for whatever you need. He will give you honest advice on what choices you need to make in order for the best outcome for yourself. 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

I also cannot say enough good things about Ernie. He is super responsive and works quickly to try and help you out the best he can. He is also flexible about payment which helps as well. I have dealt with many attorneys and he is by far the best I’ve ever dealt with and as much as I hope k never need him it’s good to know I have someone that’s got my back.Sam Schultz
Mr. Bauer is fantastic! You seriously cannot find a better lawyer then him. He is honest and upfront with you about what will happen with your case. He puts his all into making sure you get the best possible outcome. He was a godsend to us, helping get my husband out of a serious bind.Kristina Nasca
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

Mr. Bauer is a very good and honest lawyer. He took care of my case just as he said and the case was resolved better than expected. Thank you Mr. Bauer!ryanche4g
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
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
