Agressive & Stuck with us through an every changing nightmare case!

We hired Mr. Bauer for one specific issue that through battling morphed into a million other issues that not even the judges orders seemed to "stick." Due to Mr. Bauer and his teams diligence, all of the issues were compiled into one resolution and our nightmare finally ended!

Great Lawyer

Michael Bauer is a great lawyer he defended me from 2018 until 2022. I was wrongfully charged in both of my cases , I was fighting a felony case and a DUI and the battle was a struggle but each month he showed up to court for me and kept me updated. Both cases were dropped and I cried. I am so thank...ful for him and his team for the fight and not taking any plea deals and never compromising . I am saying he is most definitely a great lawyer and very good at what he does . I am forever grateful!

GREAT ATTORNEY

Mr Bauer was able to get a result that my previous attorney was not able to accomplish. I would suggest him for an aggressive attorney who is willing to do what it takes to win the case.

Satisfied

Micheal Bauer represented me in two cases one multiple felonies. When the smoke a cleared on felonies he had all charges DROPPED. And on the other case DWLSR (I had multiple DWLSR's) stated be wanted jail time. He went to court on my behalf and kept me outta jail until he worked his majic to have... charges dropped to simple no valid DL. HE IS GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES

The Beast Bauer

Michael Bauer is a beast in the courtroom. My fiancé was on Facebook about 11 months ago looking for an attorney to hire for a custody case that later also turned into a criminal case due to my son’s bio mom. My fiancé was contacted by Kristy Bauer and set up a free consultation for a few days later.... We went together and we talked to Mr. Bauer and just after explaining our situation he said we had a good case. By the end of that meeting I had hired Mr. Bauer and after today I think that was my best decision. My son’s biological mom tried to get me convicted on Domestic violence on false accusations and Mr. Bauer was so smooth he got her to show her true colors and everyone including the judge saw what I have had to deal with for the last 6 years. I am here to testify this man was a beast in the courtroom. I highly recommend if you are looking for an attorney definitely give him a call and set up an appointment.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
