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. Don't waste your time looking for other legal aid options if you have already come in contact with Him.Ezequiel Negrete

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

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

I wish I could give Mr. Bauer 6 stars if I could! He puts forth his whole HEART into his work. It's quite rare to find a highly reputable attorney who does not treat you as just another #. Ernie is extremely personable, professional, compassionate, intelligent and assiduous. I truly feel like Ernie made the absolute impossible, happen. I'll be eternally grateful to him for his absolute patience, empathy and dedication. Because of Mr. Bauers' successful efforts, I feel that a huge, 1000 lb. weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I just cry.... Expressing how huge of a relief his help has been. He went above and beyond for me. He is also very accommodating with the payment process. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Thank you so much Ernie! G-d bless you and your loved ones.Asma Esther Kiani

He did an amazing job with getting my case dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor. Also very helpful with prices, and answers all your questions! Thank you for your hard work and dedication !Trinity Hebert

The best lawyer if you want someone to work at the speed of light and actually care about your case. No other lawyer in St. Tammany that I have experienced works as swift and effective as Mr. ErnieLeo Reyes

Mr. Bauer is fantastic! You seriously cannot find a better lawyer then him. He is honest and upfront with you about what will happen with your case. He puts his all into making sure you get the best possible outcome. He was a godsend to us, helping get my husband out of a serious bind.Kristina Nasca

I was dealing with some pretty heavy stuff legally when I reached out to Mr. Bauer. I was looking at doing serious jail time and leaving my family to struggle without me. After six months of anxiety and stress, I can say I was lucky and blessed to have him as my attorney. He fought hard for me and I walked out of court today a free man. The way I see it he saved my family years of hardship without me and gave me a second chance at life. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel toward Mr. Bauer and I hope one day to be in a position where I can give back to him as much as he has given us. I recommend him highly to anyone who is in a tough position and needs help like I did. Thank you Mr. Bauer 🙏Chris

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

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.
