My experience with Ernie Bauer was amazing.. He absolutely puts his everything into his cases! I would recommend Mr. Bauer for any legal needs needed.Brandie Moore
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
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 🙏Zombie Chris
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

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

Mr. Bauer is a great man and is willing to help whenever possible. He got me out of serious bind without me asking for help. He volunteered his without question. Would recommend him.Kirstie Premier
I have met an amazing person who's seeing the truth and honest to help me and my case! I thank god to put Attorney Ernest in my path!Veronica Urbina
I highly recommend Ernest Bauer. He's the best!Amanda Martin
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

Mr. Bauer was amazing and professional. He was very caring and consistent to explain processes to me, help walk me through my best options, and get my case settled in an efficient and pain-free manner. I would highly recommend him.Blake Adams
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
