Outstanding Service and Expert Counsel!

Our family was recently confronted with a tragic, time-sensitive situation concerning our dog. We needed competent representation and advice and we needed it fast. Clarissa came to the rescue with informed and timely counsel. When minutes counted, she quickly returned our call. Even though we live i...n a different county, she was able to navigate state, regional, and local laws, based on a thorough, well-researched knowledge and experience with a variety of cases. She presented easy-to-understand options which helped us to protect our rights. It's clear she cares for her clients and sincerely looked out for our best interest. I can't say enough good things about Clarissa! When you need intelligent, experienced, competent, and caring representation, look no further. Highly recommend!

Liability Wavier

She came highly recommended. She was most helpful with what my needs were, pointed out areas that I hadn't thought of, followed up in a most timely matter, very patient and reasonable. Would use her again if needed.

Consultation Regarding Equine Liability Issues

My husband is on the board an equine club and also, we board horses at our farm. We met with Ms. Bauer to learn more about how to protect our members, directors and officers from potential litigation at various events that the club holds. We also asked that she review our farm documents and had oth...er related concerns to discuss. Her advice was very helpful and well thought out with a lot of attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of legal service in her field.
