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 couldn't have had a better experience with Ernest. He did everything he said he would and performed incredibly. Highly recommended.Taylor Holder
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

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.

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
