Posted by David | December 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Counsel is more than a lawyer

Tom spent 8 months fighting for me. He had many opportunities to plea me out, but instead took the hard road, at no further expense to me, and spent many hours fighting for the outcome we wanted. I heard many stories during DUI classes etc. about how their lawyers copped out, pled out and twith b...eing prosecuted. His efforts paid off for me, and his expertise was invaluable to me and my family. I paid Tom his fee, but will always be in debt to him for his effort. His experience and counsel are much more than just "hiring a lawyer" when you have troubles. hire a professional who truly understands the system, and how to get to the best possible outcome. He takes pride in what he does, and doesn't back down, a true professional. Tom spent 8 months fighting for me.

I heard many stories during DUI classes etc. about how their lawyers who copped out, pled out and took their money and ran. Not Tom. HE counseled me on my case ook their money and ran. Not Tom. He counseled me on my case as well as helping me manage the personal challenges that come as well as helping me manage the personal challenges that come with being prosecuted. His efforts paid off for me, and his expertise was invaluable to me and my family. I paid Tom his fee, but will always be in debt to him for his effort. His experience and counsel are much more than just "hiring a lawyer" when you have troubles. Do not look further, and do not hire lawyers who approach you. They do not take their duties as seriously as Tom Bauer does. Guaranteed.

Excellent lawyer, very thorough.

Needed advice for dealing with some issues that had the potential to get out of hand quickly. Called Mr. Bauers office on the referral of a friend. Mr. Bauer and I met and all of my questions and concerns were answered. Fortunately, my situation did not escalate into a criminal matter as the party I ...was dealing with regained their senses after I told them "on advice of my lawyer this is what the outcome will be if you continue down this path." I give Mr. Bauer an overall EXCELLENT. I could not be happier with the outcome.

Best Result and Great Customer Service

I came to Bauer Law Office after getting arrested for DWI. I was mortified with myself and worried about the effect this would have on my life. After meeting with Mr. Bauer, I felt all the worry and stress go away. He made me feel like my case and me mattered to him. The results were better than ...I ever expected! The office staff was extremely helpful and always willing to answer my thousands of questions. I would recommend Thomas Bauer to anyone looking at a criminal charge

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1985.

Reprimand issued in MN, 1985

updated on 01/31/2017

Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Thomas’s comment:

“This stems from a 1978 purchase of a vehicle from my brother, a used car dealer, who altered the value of the car to avoid paying $400 in sales tax. I did not intentionally evade the tax but I failed to exercise due care in supervising him. I was reprimanded for this in 1985. Since then, I look closer into every matter I encounter. My clients benefit by my close review of all of the facts in their case.”
