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.

Highly recommended

Mr. Bauer has been helping me handle a family law case with my ex husband who is classified as a sexual predator on little girls. It's been a 6 year fight to keep him away from my 2 daughters and I've gotten no where with anyone else. Mr. Bauer has taken the time to go over every detail of my case,... and has been wonderful during this entire process. I will be using him again if anything pops back up, and also will be retaining him for visitation with my step son as well. I highly recommend him if you are looking for detail oriented, caring, and committed.

Outstanding results for family matters

My experience with this lawyer was outstanding. After a three-year battle dealing with my child custody case, Mr. Bauer was able to review my case and represent in the best way possible in order for me to gain full custody of my son. In a nut shell, not only did he state the facts in writing but he a...lso was aggressive in the court room to state the facts of my case and present the truth in legal terms for JUSTICE. I highly recommend this attorney for anyone looking for honesty, integrity, and most of all affordability.
