We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
I decided to become a lawyer while working for my father's law firm when I was in high school. I watched my father try cases, and decided that I wanted to become a trial attorney. In 1984 I spent a year abroad, studying at the Gymnasium Mussenredder in Hamburg, Germany.
I graduated from the University at Santa Barbara in 1985 with Honors in History and German Literature. I obtained my law degree in 1991 from McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. In 1992, I left California, and moved to Alaska. When I arrived in Alaska, I clerked for a Superior Court Judge and then worked as a public defender for approximately 5 years. I opened my own law firm and limited my practice to the areas of criminal defense, family law, and personal injury.
On June 20, 2011, I was featured as co-counsel on 48 Hours television program, CBS murder of Bonnie Craig, a 17 year-old cold case.

Case got reduced; saved my Job
Leigh Ann was great; she took the time to make me feel comfortable with my case. She saved my life; she got me to see that I had a drinking problem and talked to me about treatment that helped me start over sober for the first time in years. My boss told me that I was going to be let go if I was co...

Got case dismissed!
LeighAnn filed a motion to dismiss my case because the breath machine was jammed and I couldn't blow in it. I was charged with a refusal too. LeighAnn pulled the records on the machine and listened to the tape. I am in the military and it was a very big deal. The prosecutor folded and dismissed my...

My case got dismissed!!
I can't thank Ms. Bauer enough for getting my DUI case dismissed and the DMV too. I was going to lose my military career, but she filed papers with the court, we had a hearing and the judge ruled that there was no legal reason to arrest me. I am so glad I hired her.

THANK YOU!!!
Ms. Bauer did a great job with my case--There was a problem with the stop and the tests. The officer was supposed to tell me I could have a blood test but didn't read me that paper. She did a great job getting the prosecutor to dismiss it. She also did the DMV and got my case dismissed there too. ...

Great attorney.
I was looking at a 4 dui and LeighAnn got my case down to a reckless driving. I was looking at a lot of jail time. She found out that the machine I blew into at the station was broken. I'm going through a custody case over my daughter and she saved my family. I can't thank her enough. She's grea...
"I endorse Leigh Ann Bauer without hesitation. As an Assistant District Attorney, I had the chance to work against Ms. Bauer on a number of DUI cases. During that time, I found her to be well prepared, knowledgeable, and very professional. Since leaving public service, Ms. Bauer has made herself available to me a number of times to answer questions I have had in defending DUI cases. Ms. Bauer is a great attorney."
"Leigh Ann has a tremendous courtroom presence. She is widely admired for her advocacy skills and for her commitment to clients. Anyone in her hands is well served, and I highly recommend Leigh Ann."
