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 always treated me with respect and compassion even when I didnt have it for myself. He will tell you like it is and I believe he truely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. 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

I highly recommend Mr. Bauer. He worked hard for me! I appreciate him greatly.Courtney Savoie
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 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
(Translated by Google) Very good, I recommend him, he is a trustworthy lawyer. What are you waiting for? Hurry and look for him now.
