    best lawyer in mandeville LouisianaLuke Fisher
    Ernest J Bauer gave me a wonderful experience as a lawyer helping regular people like you and me! He is awesome to work with and very considerable of how you can make payments to him as a lawyer fee still having to deal with your regular bills in life. He was very comforting to know that he was in my corner and very informative of the process to me step by step all the way to the very end of my court case! There is no other lawyer that I would have thank the Lord for finding him to defend me in court. Ernest is one of the most professional lawyer I have ever had the privilege to know in a bad time. I would highly recommend that if you had a reason for a lawyer it would be the best money you ever spent for your defense! For the circumstances that I was in I came out with his help in an unbelievable verdict for my case. As soon as you talk to him you will feel comfortable knowing the way he presents himself he really is honest to you about your case and is going to do his best to get the best outcome in court for you. Thank you earnest for helping me!James Garcia
    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

    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

    Best lawyer in Louisiana. Caring, Professional, and who you need in your corner.Aaron Lindsey
    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
