DUI/DWI Charge. Zach did a GREAT job.

I would highly recommend Zach. My DUI 2nd degree case took almost 2 years, as the arresting officer was deployed to military shortly after my DUI stop. Zach kept me informed durring the whole process. We had several challanges and he worked each one through to the end. He was empathetic to the situat...ion and still "told it as it is" and not just what i wanted to hear. His office staff was always very polite, patient and kind. There are higher priced lawyers in town, but i don't know what they could have done for the extra money, that Zach and his staff didnt do for me. Thank you Zach, i hope to never see you again :)

A Lawyer who will fight for you and keep you informed

We hired Zach Bauer to represent our son who was charged as a juvenile with criminal charges. It was the most difficult thing that our family has faced. Since my son is a juvenile he could have received a court appointed representative but we saw how little time they are able to spend on cases an...d hiring Zach Bauer was the best thing for my son. When we met with Zach we did not know what was ahead of us. In our initial visit he was able to step us through the process and tell us what we needed to be concerned about and what we didn't have to worry about and we left feeling so much better. Zach was easy to contact with questions and he was able to work around our busy schedules to meet. We found Zach easy to work with, knowlegeable about the law and impressive in meetings and also in court. Zach was empathetic and has a good connection with teenagers. I would recommend Zach Bauer as a lawyer to family and friends or anyone who is facing crimianl charges. He will fight for you and make sure you understand what is happening with your case.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
