I couldn't have had a better experience with Ernest. He did everything he said he would and performed incredibly. Highly recommended.Taylor Holder
Ernie worked hard to find me Justice in my troubles with the law. He got me the best possible outcome from a terrible fiasco I found myself involved in. I will hire him again if needed in the future.Jordan Bennett
I found myself in the unfortunate event of getting pulled over by overzealous cops who have nothing else to do but pick on people. A retainer later Ernie came to the rescue, he was a Superhero in a suit. He quickly got involved and let his presence be known.
He broke down the charges, and worked diligently to resolve my case. I can confidently say we got the best outcome after months of waiting and court date postponing.
As a tourist from another city I did not know what to expect and had to use a good friend’s judgement to find Ernie.

Best lawyer in Louisiana. Caring, Professional, and who you need in your corner.Aaron Lindsey
I had the pleasure of Mr Bauer handling my case. He is knowledgeable, incredibly detail oriented, and the most responsive attorney I have ever dealt with. I never had to wait more than a few hours for a response from him, even after hours. I almost felt guilty for monopolizing his time but he never made me feel like i was imposing on him.
His fees were completely transparent and reasonable for the quality service he provides.
Do yourself a favor and retain this man.Todd Holley

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.

Mr Ernest cares, he went above and beyond to get me the best possible outcome. If you need representation, he is the best choice.Douglas Francis
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
