Civil rights lawyer | Mar 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am proud to endorse Ian Bauer! Ian is a strong believer in the rights of those who have been oppressed by others with money, position and power. What's more, Ian is one of the brightest and most diligent attorneys I have known in my twenty-plus years of legal practice. If your civil rights have been violated, pick up the phone and call Ian."

Business lawyer | Jun 12

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work.I worked on a complicated quiet title case which involved a medicaid lien and its priority to my client's right to purchase the farmland. Ian represented DSHS and we jointly pooled our resources to achieve a very successful result in a case which took a total of 34 years to conclude. Ian is a bright, ambitious, hardworking lawyer who writes and researches thoroughly and understands complex issues. Gary Libey"

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
