Thank You Letter

1.I was a drug addict and I was homeless I had picked up 3 charges all of them felonies. There was a warrant out for my arrest so I just went to the jail and turned myself in. 2.The next day the Public Defender Office came out to the jail to see me they made me an offer. They offered me 5 years in ...DOC and 2 years of probation. 3.I realize that I was in big trouble and needed to find a good attorney. 4. I started asking inmates and correctional officer for a name of a good attorney M. Bauer name came up the most. I called several different attorneys but there prices were way to high. 5. So I picked up the phone and called Michael Bauer. 6. The next day he came to the jail to see me we discussed my problems. 7. Michael rates were reasonable. 8. He went back to his office to do the research on my cases so he could give me and answer. 9. He came back and we discuss my options he took his time to explain everything he knew about the cases and what steps needed to be taken to handle each charge. 10. He was professional and informative about my cases and he listen showed concerns for my help and my options. 11. I asked him if it would be possible to work with the prosecuters office and see what they could work out. My request was be in rehab. for my drug habit, no probation and to not have any jail time. 12.He said it was challenging request and he would meet with the prosecution office and see what they could agree on. 13.He said he would get me the best deal he could. 14. The prosecution office offered me 6 months in Rehab. no jail time, 2 years probation, to pay restitution and they would drop one charge. 15. We accepted the offer and are caring out the plan. 16.My sincere thanks go out to Mr. Bauer for his excellent legal skills. 17. He made a critical differences in my life and my future. 18. I am a happy client and would give his name and number to anyone who would like to use the best attorney in Tallahassee.

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.
