CAN'T EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW GREAT THIS ATTORNEY DID FOR ME
Im never the type to leave reviews but when it comes to one of the biggest decisions someone may have to make, it be very stressful. He eases this process and I recommend him without a doubt.Adam Giroir

Mr. Bauer is an amazing attorney. He took genuine care of me and my case.
He answered all of my questions and concerns and always gave me honest feedback. He was able to get me out of a serious situation and got me the best possible outcome.maritza acosta
I had a great experience with Mr. Ernest Bauer. He was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced in criminal defense. The office in Covington is easy to reach, and the whole process was smooth. I truly appreciate the support and would recommend him to anyone needing legal help.SAQR ALI
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

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
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 helped me handle some legal issues I had quickly and effectively. He was fair on cost and was with me through each step of the process. Highly recommend his services.David Helbling
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
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
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
I highly recommend Ernest Bauer. He's the best!Amanda Martin
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
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
