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.

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. ...

Kept my license
This week ms. Bauer went to court and got my driving without a license suspended charges dismissed. I had two-- state and muni. She worked my case real hard and helped me to get my driver's license back with the DMV. Once I did, she got my charges dropped. I was looking at 10 days in jail on each ...
"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."
