Mr. Bauer is definitely the best attorney in the St. Tammany area. First of all he's very understanding and flexible with finicial situations. Secondly you can tell just from interacting with him that he's genuinely kind and cares about getting what's best for his clients, unlike other attorneys who look for the easiest route possible while taking your money. Lastly he's very punctual and is always quick to respond to phone calls and questions. If you want proper representation then I would very much recommend Mr. Bauer.Dakota Drake

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
