He is extremely fair and will work with you on payments, although his cost is more then reasonable. I will always recommend him to anyone.Marie Faucher
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
