Very Unhappy

Me. Bauer took my case, he claimed that he could handle the case easily, but turned it into complete chaos due to his lack of knowledge in that specific area of Law. It's like hiring a family physician to perform a heart transplant! We fired him and it cost even more money to straighten the mess out!...

Consummate Professional

Robert Bauer is a consummate professional. I retained his services in 2015 to assist with a very difficult matter involving a restraining order. Today, four years later, I reached out to him again -- this time for an entirely different legal matter altogether. He put me at ease immediately with hi...s knowledge and his "go get 'em" attitude. He is all about conflict resolution, fairness, and getting directly to the heart of the matter utilizing a network of resources at his fingertips. I highly recommend Attorney Robert Bauer. It is so important in this day and age to find someone who truly cares about their clients like Mr, Bauer does.

Highly recommend !

Mr. Bauer did a fantastic job of representing us when we had a problem with neighboring land owner trying to encroach and claim some of our property. Needless to say... what rightfully belonged to us...STILL belongs to us....thanks to Mr. Bauer.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Bauer and his team of professionals have provided me with a sense of calm and clarity in the mist of a distressful custody case. Mr. Bauer and his team truly are a client centered, compassionate and respectful team of professionals. They communicated well and in a timely manner throughout this or...deal. I felt comfortable stopping by the office to ask questions and gain clarity throughout my case. Mr. Bauer is a true professional, honest, ethical,  knowledgeable and a realist, not promising a fairytail but real positive results.

The Best Advocate!

Robert W. Bauer is an exceptional man and talented lawyer with the smart and sharp mind, who has also high professional and moral ethics standards. I wanted to say many thanks to Mr. Bauer for being a true advocate for my son and me. His professional performance was nothing less than outstanding. ...I cannot find words that could express my gratitude towards Mr. Bauer and his friendly office team. I have wished that Mr. Bauer was my lawyer from the beginning of this divorce. For more than 8 years, our struggle in the "no-fault" and “sharing plan” divorce with the first lawyer who had played the infamous "money talks" games by a betrayal of the truth turned this divorce into the travesty of justice and a real tragedy for my child and me. For the last four months, Mr. Bauer tirelessly fought for my son and me until the vicious circle was broken! We returned to our dignity, rights and freedom from many years of oppression and turmoil. We are very grateful to Mr. Bauer, for us he is a Knight of Truth!
