    Renee, and her team, were extremely helpful with my divorce proceedings. From the initial consultation, where Renee listened and gave great advice, through the day in court, it was super easy. I would highly recommend Renee Bauer Law Firm.

    Renee was exceptional. She and her staff made me feel like I was their only client throughout my divorce proceedings. Everyone in the office was incredibly responsive to my inquiries and remarkably quick in keeping me up to date with any developments in my case. Renee was truly an advocate for my best interests and helped me finalize my divorce in as judicious a manner as possible. I could not have asked for a better attorney!

    I couldn't be happier that I hired renee to help me through what turned out to be a difficult divorce. Not only was she and her whole team were always responsive, but they were also understanding and supportive. Renee is an excellent lawyer who really knows her stuff. She is on top of everything and always had my and my kids best interest at heart. I can't thank her enough for helping me through this difficult time in my life.

    I am still in the process of a complicated divorce and am so happy I went with Renee. The whole office is amazing. She truly does care and has been there every step of the way fighting for my needs as well as my children needs. I truly cannot put into words how grateful we are that she is representing us. I know we are in the best hands and truly her to stand up and fight for our rights.

    Excellent representation

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    I hired Renee to represent me in my recent divorce. Renee and her staff were extremely patient and compassionate when answering my questions regarding every step of the process. Every email and question were answered in a timely manner, usually within 30 minutes, even outside of regular office hours. Leslie's patience and guidance in regard to the financial paperwork was invaluable, Shannon is so professional and thorough with the paperwork aspect, I felt secure that all details were being handled. A very trying situation was handled with care and courtesy, to a satisfactory end. I have, and would continue to recommend Renee and her team.

    I could not be happier with Renee Bauer as my divorce attorney. Attorney Bauer expertly guided me through my divorce and made the process as smooth as possible. Renee is a strategic thinker who offers practical and helpful advice and solutions. Her staff members also reflect these attributes as well and are also highly competent and a pleasure to work with. For these reasons and many others, I highly recommend Attorney Bauer and her team.

    I can't say enough regarding Renee and her entire staff. She handled my situation with aggression when it needed it and handled me with care when I needed it. She will explain exactly what's happening and what your options are. When you are in a situation that you just can't believe is happening she will be there for you. I would recommend this law firm to my own family. Anyone who says she can be intimidated hasn't seen her in action!!!!!
