Testimonials

”Recently I needed an attorney for my deceased brother in laws estate. I was at a loss of what and how to manage. Thankfully with the Bauer attorneys and team they assisted me in every step of the way They were all so nice, so knowledgeable and respectful. I would recommend anyone needing an attorney for anything to call them. A special thanks to Jacque for her kindness and support. She was there for my family and I. She answered all my many questions as this process was quite long.I was so impressed that I also had Mr. Jeffrey Bauer to set up a family trust so our family did know how to manage our estate upon our deaths. Again thank you to all staff !!"

”Top notch service with very quick results on my probate case. Highly recommend."

”I'm a retired attorney recently appointed personal representative of a Florida decedent's estate. I sought Kirk Bauer for representation because of his strong reputation in the Deland community. Both he and his paralegal have successfully moved the estate toward a prompt and effective closure. I am pleased with the progress and the attention detail reflected in their work."

”First let me say that my experience with Bauer & Associates has been very pleasurable due to the up front estate planning my parents did with a Lawyer that combined his practice with Bauer & Associates. The up front estate planning with a lawyer greatly helped enable our ability of maintaining finances as our parents physical and mental capabilities diminished as well as the final trust administration after death. At the same time, after death legal advice is appropriate for closure of the estate. Bauer & Associates is making our final legal filings with their paralegal Jaclyn Crawford being our contact and taking the lead and with Mr. Bauer as our assigned lawyer. So far, the up front estate planning paperwork has enabled us to avoid probate with the guidance of Bauer & Associates. However, I’m sure if we need further assistance, I’m confident that Bauer & Associates with provide the appropriate legal help and guidance we would need. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates for both pre-estate planning and final trust administration."

”I am grateful to Kirk Bauer and Jaclyn Crawford for their diligent work in bringing my case to a successful conclusion. The legal processes of my case were explained to me in detail as they guided me every step of the way. Their knowledge and expertise were of great value to me. I highly recommend the legal services offered by the team at Bauer & Associates."

”I have had the opportunity to hire Jeff B. and his Amazing staff at Bauer & Associates to help navigate some Family concerns.

“I was recently the personal representative for the estate of a relative. Bauer & Associates handled the probate case for me in a very professional manner. I was very impressed with their service.”

“We had an unexpected death in the family so we were totally unprepared on the legal aspects. Our initial consultation gave us all the information we needed to start making informed decisions. Jaclyn was our main point of contact and any time we had a question, whether via phone or email, she responded quickly and accurately. Dealing with a death is never a pleasant experience but Bauer and Associates took the worry out of it.”

“Mr. Bauer is likely the best attorney in the area, as he truly seems to care about his clients, he's responsive, and ethical. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal guidance.”

Bauer & Associates made a complicated process as easy and pain-free as possible. Ms. Crawford was endlessly patient and good-humored. I'm thankful for her assistance.

I recently used Bauer and Associates located in Deland Florida to Retitle my home deed to the name of my family Trust. I am so glad that I made that call. Meghan was awesome! She made the process so easy and streamlined. When I explained what I needed on the phone, she immediately understood and got to work. My new deed was drafted and ready in less than a week. All that my husband and I had to do was go into the office and sign. Meghan also knew that I was on a short timeline to get the deed changed over so she took that into consideration as well. Their law office is very nice, and you get a real professional feeling when walking through the doors. They call you back when they say they are going to, and they are dependable. I highly recommend this office.

I never wanted to have a probate attorney for my 23-year-old son we lost. But Jaclyn Crawford was so amazing. Not only professionally was she amazing but also as a person, mom. She helped me get through the toughest time in my life. The receptionist Jenny was always so nice and helpful too. If I ever need any attorney I would go there, the whole team was great.

Excellent value and service. I recommend this firm to anyone needing legal assistance. They helped me resolve my probate issues. Jaclyn was super helpful and dealt with everything in a timely manner. I am thankful for the support and help I received.

I have known Kirk for over 35 years and he has always demonstrated the highest degree of integrity and professionalism in handling my legal needs. He is trustworthy and a reliable counselor. I would strongly recommend him for anyone looking for solid legal services. I have used his services for estate planning and business law.

My first encounter at Bauer and Associates was with the receptionist Jenny. She was very gracious, accommodating and knew immediately where to look for the answers to my questions. I had the privilege of working with Mr. Jeff Bauer and Mr. Glenn Nye. They both were very professional, knowledgeable and good at explaining anything about which I had a question. The paralegal, Ms. Diane Wardlow in particular, could not have been more responsive to my needs and worked diligently to prepare my documents . The office was beautifully and comfortably furnished. I would not look anywhere else for legal counsel.

I recently worked with Mr. Bauer and his paralegal Jaclyn on my mother’s estate following her unexpected passing, and I cannot express enough gratitude for their assistance. Despite the challenge of not being able to locate my mother’s will, they guided me through the entire process with clarity and patience. They thoroughly explained the estate administration process, which made a difficult time easier to navigate. Jaclyn was exceptionally responsive to all inquiries, providing insightful guidance at every phase. She patiently explained each required court document and the specifics of what needed to be submitted, ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Their professionalism and compassion made a significant difference during this challenging period, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Everyone was so kind and very considerate. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for all your help.

If you are looking for a probate lawyer this firm, is it. I hired them when my dad passed away who was recommended by my husband who used them when his mom passed away. They were everything and more. Jacklyn their Paralegal is Amazing. She was Always available. She answered my emails the same day. I was really impressed with this firm. This firm made me feel at ease and I knew I can trust them to get the job done. I highly recommended this firm.

As an out-of-state executor, I was incredibly overwhelmed by the probate process. Jaclyn Crawford at Bauer & Associates turned out to be an absolute lifesaver. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and compassion made a complex situation manageable. Jaclyn handled everything with her team from court filings to communication with beneficiaries, always keeping me informed every step of the way. They were incredibly patient with my questions and made sure I understood everything happening with the estate. I never felt like I was alone in this process.
If you're an out-of-state executor, I cannot recommend Bauer & Associates enough. They made the entire probate process as smooth and stress-free as possible, and I am so grateful for their expertise and support.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mr. Bauer for my personal estate planning in the past, and I cannot praise him enough for his thoroughness and exceptional ability to explain every detail. Recently, after the devastating loss of my children's father, Jaclyn Crawford stepped in as the probate paralegal. She meticulously handled our probate and estate planning, navigating all necessary court checks and balances to appoint a personal representative for the estate. Her expertise and unwavering support during this incredibly challenging time were truly priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm for their unparalleled professionalism and unwavering dedication to their clients. Thank you for everything.

Me and my husband own a business as well as a few rental properties, we wanted to get a will set up to make things easier for our children and make sure we were set up correctly, Jackie and kirk sat with us and helped us set everything up, they made it so simple and explained everything!! Definitely recommend!

My uncle ended up passing away and my mother and grandmother were so stressed about how to handle his property and getting all that sorted out as he had no will, no children or living wife. Jackie made the process so simple for them!! She truly went above and beyond for them and took such a stressful situation and turned it into a simple one! My mom I quote said "Jackie was an angel!" Highly recommend!!!

We have employed This firm to update several wills over the last 15 years. They have followed our wishes and informed us of updates in the law as well. They were very carefully reviewed and caught details that we overlooked. Thank you very much for the comfort and care that you have given our family over the years.

I recently went through probate after the passing of my father. Jackie Crawford was such a pleasure to work. Any time I had a question she was always there to answer it. Jackie and Kirk were incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and they made everything easy to understand. They were patient with my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. If you need a someone for probate, I would definitely recommend Bauer and Associates. I can't say enough how great Jackie was to work with. Mr. Bauer you got a keeper in her.

I chose Bauer & Associates after looking through reviews and really just needing a lawyer who could help me with the things regarding my mother's estate that could not be handled without probate. I mainly worked with Jaclyn, FRP and she was amazing from start to finish. I was thankfully down in Florida to begin the process but had to go back to NJ where I live and still, the communication and process was simple and easy. It really took a great load off my father, who not only was grieving the loss of my mother, but really did not understand what probate was in the first place. Additionally, my father was able to work with Jeff Bauer to update his POA and other legal paperwork that he needed. This process was also straightforward and simple. He was able to complete and sign everything in less than 2 months.

I recently went through probate after the passing of my best friend. She had used Jackie Crawford and Kirk Bauer's office for estate planning, and I'm so grateful she did. Their prior work made the probate process incredibly smooth during a very difficult time. Jackie and Kirk were incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and they made everything easy to understand. They were patient with my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They truly were lifesavers, and I can't recommend their services enough.

The passing of your father is difficult, but when his passing involves multiple properties in multiple states, you need to assemble a team of professionals to help, and we could not be more happy with the help provided by Bauer & Associates! From the start, Jaclyn Crawford and Kirk Bauer, Esq. teamed-up to provide us with all the help we needed. Since we were new to property and partnership management, they were able to proactively help us navigate state departments and requirements that there is no question we would have over-complicated (or completely messed-up) if left on our own. We have worked with a number of professionals, and Bauer & Associates has provided the best experience we've had. We heartily recommend this firm without conditions.

Our attorney, Mr. Glenn Nye, is patient, knowledgeable, kind, and humorous. We highly recommend him with no reservations. His office staff actually answers the phone, returns calls, and is pleasant and thoughtful in person. It was a delightful, positive experience from start to finish.

Bauer and Associates are knowledgeable and personal in their dealing with clients. Highly recommend.

We recently moved to ORANGE CITY FL and were referred to Bauer & Associates to re-write and update our Wills, Trusts and all related paperwork. Their whole team was very friendly, patient, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process from the first introductory meeting to the final closing. Their work is First Class.

Hi Kirk, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for facilitating our closing. You did such a nice job; very organized which made all of our lives easier. Five star review.

If you are looking for an attorney that takes their time to understand not only what you need but why you need it this is a law firm I would highly recommend. Jeff and Jennifer worked with me to make sure everything I needed was taken care of in a timely manner. Because Jeff to listened to why I was needing some aspects of my will he provided ideas that I had not even considered. I have already recommended to friends and they will be reaching out to Jeff shortly as they were impressed too.

Hi, my recent experience in spring of 2024 was great. Staff was friendly. My attorney, Jeff took a few extra minutes to discuss other unrelated matters and offered advice. The office seems to care about you and your needs. My needs were more than met.

My family and I needed a lawyer to handle probate for the loss of my mother. We used Bauer & Associates, and could not have asked for a better firm. Jaclyn was the sweetest and most kind person you could meet as well as Jen in the front office they both made this difficult situation easier to handle. I would recommend Bauer & Associates over any firm in Volusia County.

Attorney Glenn Nye meticulously explained each document of my trust. The team is courteous, gives you their complete attention and tends to each of your needs. I would recommend Bauer and associates for all your legal needs.

We were very happy with the services we received at Bauer & Associates. Very helpful, very professional and answered all our questions and concerns.

Jackie handled everything regarding my dad's estate. We couldn't have been in better hands. She communicated with us the whole way and took care of everything. She is professional and sweet and easy to talk to. What could have been a stressful situation was made easy. And she's local which is convenient. We are so happy we chose this law firm.

Bauer & Associates was recommended to me by good friends when it became apparent that I needed to set up a trust, update my will, and complete all the necessary health directives. While I have a lifelong skepticism about attorneys, this could not have been a more professional and pleasant experience. Kirk Bauer and his paralegal, Tammy Carter, were more than competent, helpful, cordial and very respectful. I did not hesitate very recently to refer longtime friends to Bauer & Associates for exactly the same services. I have no doubt they will be as pleased as I was.

Jeffery Bauer was very helpful during my time of grief. He understood my situation and give me expert legal advice. I am extremely grateful to have found him and recommend his firm for professional advice.

I recommend this law firm 100%. Jacklyn Crawford, the office manager, went above and beyond for my family during a tough time. She answered calls and emails without delay; and explained everything to me in terms that I understood. In my opinion, the best attorney's office I have ever dealt with.

I am so happy I decided to hire this firm to handle our probate case. Jaclyn Crawford was AMAZING!!!! I can not stress enough how wonderful my experience was because of how responsive and helpful Jaclyn was during this entire process. She made a horrible situation less stressful for my siblings and I and never made us wait if we needed a question answered. Everything went extremely smooth and customer service when calling in was also outstanding. Everyone is so friendly. You will not regret hiring this firm.

Jeff and his office staff do a fantastic job. Very responsive to any questions. Jen at the front desk is always there to greet you and get your meeting started promptly. The staff is polite, professional and caring. Bauer and associates is a reliable firm for your needs in DeLand, my wife and I highly recommend them.

Jaclyn Crawford, did a wonderful job of handling probate issues from both my grandmother and mothers passing. All I had to do was read, sign and return the forms provided by Bauer & Associates. The job was done quickly and professionally with no work being required on my part the way it should be when you hire an attorneys office to take care of things for you. Thanks for all your help.

I had originally reached out to this firm with questions regarding my mother in law's estate and putting everything in order prior to her passing. Unfortunately we did not retain them before she passed but I decided to hire them to handle probate. We were able to do a simplified probate and Jackie the paralegal was great. She took care of everything by email and was very responsive. Highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Kirk Bauer handled a fairly complex trust construction promptly and meticulously. We had a tight deadline to complete this and the firm prepared all documents for the final signing to be done on time and correctly. I would recommend this firm for anything from a basic will to more complex trust work.

I was very impressed by Jeff Bauer and his office throughout the process of revising my Last Will & Testament. He was highly professional, courteous and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I felt very at ease after I signed on the dotted line. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates for legal guidance.

I worked with Jaclyn to settle my late husband's estate. She took care of everything very efficiently and with absolutely no effort on my part. I was very happy with the process and would recommend Bauer & Associates to anyone.

Jaclyn was awesome. We had two unexpected deaths within a month and she walked us through the probate process making it much easier than expected.

Jaclyn and Mr. Bauer have been great to work with! We had a complicated case and we could not be happier with how well we were treated by this first class organization! Jaclyn is a rock star! Thank you!

I came to know Mr. Bauer and Jaclyn Barath when my younger brother passed away suddenly while taking care of our mom in Florida, I lived out of state. In the confusion of getting mom resettled and arrangements for my brother, who did not have a will, it was recommended to me, to contact Mr. Bauer to help out with the probate of his estate. I have never been through a probate court proceeding and with help from Mr. Bauer, and his staff of Jaclyn and Natalie, it was a great comfort to me. Jaclyn walked me through getting information, updating me and a clear understanding on the status of what was going on. Natalie passed the information to myself and Jaclyn and was a smiling face when I came into the office. Three months into the proceedings my mom passed away and Mr. Bauer, Jaclyn, and Natalie were there of me as well. I highly recommend them whenever you need their professional, friendly and prompt services.

Jaclyn made an impossible situation possible. This group assists their clients through every step with clear and consistent communication during the process. Jaclyn exceeded any expectations I had and I cannot thank her enough for her help during this time. I strongly recommend her and this law group.

My family used this office for probate following the passing of our mother, and worked directly with Jaclyn Barath throughout. The entire office was compassionate, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend using this office for your legal needs!

My mother passed away unexpectedly. I had no idea how to handle her estate. After a few days of trying to do it alone I realized i needed professional help. I am not from the Deland area so I had no idea who to call that would not rip me off just because I was from out of state. I mentioned my dilemma to her neighbors and nurses that were caring for her and I got recommendations from 4 people that did not know each other to call Bauer and Associates. I'm glad I did because Jackie took over the needs of my mom's estate and put my mind at ease so I could concentrate on getting her house ready to sell. Jackie is very professional and can explain the process and what to expect very clearly. Without Bauer and Associates help I probably would have made some serious financial mistakes.

Jackie worked on a probate matter after my mother’s passing. She answered all questions in a timely manner and responded to all questions asked. She kept in communication throughout the process so that we knew what to expect and when. I also had a conversation with Mr. Bauer during the process to ask questions about my mother’s trust. He was straight forward and clearly communicated the important details.

My husband passed with out a will. I found Bauer&Associates on Google. I chose them due to their reviews. Best choice I could have ever made. My probate case was a little complicated, Jaclyn, Tammy and Mr Bauer were the absolute best thru each step. They told me each thing that needed done, and what would be the next step. Always returned my phone calls or emails. Kind and caring group and understanding of the hard situation I was going thru. Thank you all for the fantastic job you did for me. I WOULD highly recommend them to ANYONE.

I highly recommend Bauer & associates for your legal needs. They are very professional and have years of experience. Went in and they helped me with what i needed and were very straight forward!

Absolutely a great organization. Professional on every level and fairly priced.

Excellent and Professional service, I recommend Bauer & Associates for your Probate and Estate Planning needs. My Probate was done without any delays, Staff was always available to answer my questions.

We have had to contact Bauer & Associates on two separate occasions and both times they have been nothing short of excellent. They are very comforting and friendly as well as being very knowledgeable. They help make the probate process smooth. If you need a quality and trustworthy attorney give them a call.

Needed probate attorney to handle property, I lived out of state. The process was handled professionally. Quick response, answer any and all questions, everything explained and every detail handled. Definitely recommend.

One of the best law firms in the state of FL hands down! Professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with! Highly recommend!

We have used Bauer & Associates on numerous occasions for real estate and family trust needs. Never have we been disappointed. Always professional and courteous service. Kirk Bauer, Jeff Bauer and the entire staff are a delight to work with. I recommend them with the maximum confidence to anyone needing services that they provide. Good job to all at Bauer & Associates. Thanks for your continued service.

Since my sister and I both live far away from Florida, we needed someone reliable to help with our father's estate. Fortunately, a friend of our father referred us to Mr. Bauer. His paralegal, Jaclyn, went above and beyond to help us. She was reassuring, answered our questions quickly, and whenever anything came up she just took care of it. My sister and I greatly appreciate the help we got from the staff at Bauer & Associates, and highly recommend them.

Being from out-of-state, searched the internet for a Florida law firm to handle the probate of my father’s estate in Florida; took a chance after reading reviews for Bauer & Associates. Was not disappointed, their paralegal Jaclyn and attorney Rick Bauer were exceptional in handling the matter in a timely professional manner.

Helped us through several problems. They are the BEST. Even took the time to answer questions not related to the problems at hand. The whole office staff is great and helpful. Thank you Bauer & Associates.

My father recently passed away leaving me with the responsibility to manage his trust. Upon trying to sell his home, we realized there would also be need for probate. I am not familiar with these things and turned to a lawyer in my local area, in the same state and within a couple of hours from the county in which my father resided. The lawyer indicated the trust was a mess and that she would not even take the case. I was disheartened and dismayed not knowing where to turn. Then I found a lawyer in adjoining county, Bauer & Associates. Jaclyn, a paralegal at this office, not only took the case, but took away my dread and fear of the unknown. She handled everything with ease, kindness and compassion. Her professionalism and can-do attitude was reassuring. Jaclyn is the BEST!! The law firm got the job done in a very short time, with no issues and took a huge burden off of me. I can’t say enough about them but if I ever need a lawyer or legal advice, I know exactly where to go. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates!

Could not be happier or more TRUSTING and confident of Mr. Bauer's 35 years of serving our family well in the area of Trusts, Will and probate matters! THANK YOU BAUER & ASSOCIATES!

Knowledgeable, personable and gracious with their time. So glad that I found this law firm and have recommended them to friends. Highly recommend them!!

Great company, they have been a great help to me on two occasions. I would certainly use them again!

I am an Illinois attorney who has had, in the recent past, three estates with Florida property. In each of the three matters we contacted Bauer & Associates. Their handling of the matters in Florida was very timely, very professional and their fees very reasonable. I would highly recommend Bauer & Associates.

Mr. Bauer and his staff are the best.

This firm took care of a very small but very complicated estate settlement for my family. It was no small effort, given all the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. They were extremely responsive and always available for the many questions and concerns we had. While remaining professional, they made us feel like family. A special shout out to Jackie, who is simply amazing!

Completing our estate planning documents left us with a sense of comfortable security in knowing our final wishes are well documented and legalized. Thank you Mr. Bauer - a true professional - and thank you to every one of your staff members for their kindness and attention to detail. You hit every check box we were looking for in our estate planning process.

This is the third estate I was in charge of in 5 years, two dealing with two states. This went the smoothest and was the most economical one I dealt with. They were responsive in all communications and clear. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you.

After many months of trying find a probate attorney that would deal with our case and get us in quick we came across Bauer & Associates. From the start the process was seamless and straightforward. We worked with Jaclyn and she was always there to answer any questions we had and to handle any dilemmas(6 siblings…so a little chaotic at times). Thank you Jaclyn, for making this difficult situation as easy as possible. Definitely recommend!!

Mr. Bauer took over my moms estate after the prior attorney retired midstream. I am thankful that he did. We found out that the prior attorney had messed up the probate pretty bad. Mr. Bauer's paralegal, Jaclyn, was amazing and helped me along the way and never got irritated with all my constant questions. I ended up using his office to prepare guardianships for me as well which we got taken care of very quickly. Once I sold my mom's house his title company staff handled that side of the puzzle. His office made the process as painless as possible for me and I couldn't be more grateful! Should I ever need legal assistance again I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Bauer and his team to help me.

Bauer & Associates was wonderful to work with, very informative and responsive throughout the entire probate process (which was new to me). I highly recommend them to others.

Excellent professional service with a personal touch. I highly recommend Mr. Bauer and his team.

Bauer and Associates did our Estate Planning. Mr. Bauer understood our needs and customized our Estate and made recommendations that far exceeded my expectations. We are very happy with the services provided and the courteous and professional staff. We highly recommend the firm for your Estate Planning Needs.

5 yr on my team! If you're a small business looking for legal advice hands down this is the go-to firm. Very friendly helpful definitely a very smooth process check them out.

If you are looking for a great legal firm to handle your probate needs, you needn't look any further. Bauer & Associates came highly recommended. I found them professional, prompt, competent and courteous. They handled my probate matters painlessly and in a timely and expeditious manner. I too would highly recommend them. Jaclyn B is the best!

I couldn't be happier with the process of writing my Will, setting up a trust, etc. Kirk Bauer was professional, efficient and friendly. He made something I've been avoiding for too long easy!

Had a probate matter to be handled and Bauer & Associates headed up by their paralegal Jackie did a great job. Excellent follow through, timely and thorough. Would highly recommend.

I was referred to Bauer & Associates by a family member in the law profession. After making an appointment for my father to discuss estate planning, we had the opportunity to meet and speak with Mr. Bauer. Unfortunately a few months later before the estate planning was done my father passes away. Reaching out again to the firm to seek advice, I was introduced to Jaclyn the paralegal. I told her the situation and she immediately explained what I needed to do. I followed all Jaclyn's instructions and she was by my side every step of the way. She got what I needed done and in record time I feel. Jaclyn was always quick to respond to all emails and phone calls. I was never made to feel as I was bothering her. I can not express enough thanks to Jaclyn & Mr. Bauer as well as the staff at Bauer & Associates. I highly recommend them, and I will continue to use them for my future needs.

I live in NY and had to find someone I could trust dealing with a probate issue concerning my mothers estate. I conducted a search in google and their firm showed up. I read the reviews and they seemed to be a good choice after dealing with them and how they helped me I was so glad I chose them. Jacklyn was a great help and communicated with me constantly. Its hard to choose a lawyer when you can't get out to meet them face to face but this couldn't have gone better. I would definitely recommend them.

Kirk Bauer and his team helped our family close our aunt's final affairs who lived in Florida. We live in Texas and travel was extremely complicated during this very challenging and awkward COVID-19 situation. We thank Kirk and his team for helping us with high professionalism during a sensitive and difficult time.

I highly recommend this law firm. They are quick, efficient and very responsive. The staff is friendly and considerate.

I was dreading going to a lawyer and had a lot of emotional turmoil with the thought of putting my will together and resolving a real estate issue. Mr Bauer was recommended to me by a friend. He and his assistant Nicole took time to explain things and made me feel at ease. He truly took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions and even leant an ear to listen to my troubles. I could tell he was looking out for my best interest and he ensured I was able to make all my own decisions privately and without pressure from family or friends. I called a couple weeks later with changes I wanted to make in my will. Everyone was so understanding and helpful. Everything was completed timely, they made it so easy for me. The staff is pleasant and they know their jobs well. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates. I will definitely return for any future needs.

Losing my husband was worse than anything I could have imagined and having to go through probate at the same time scared me. Jaclyn took my calls, answered my questions, talked me off the ledge and held my hand. Kirk went over everything on a level I could follow and understand. He and Jaclyn took away the fear and anxiety and stood between me and the parties trying to hurt me and discredit my husband. In the end everything they told me came to pass and without their help and guidance I couldn't have gotten through it. Integrity, honesty and compassion all rolled into one. Kirk also took care of my Will; he and Nicole made it simple, easy and convenient. My deepest gratitude to the entire staff!

I have used Bauer and associates a few times for different legal matters and have always been pleased with their service. Jaclyn Barath is great to work with.

Bauer & Associates is the place to go if you have any Estate needs. I work in Real Estate and work very close with Jaclyn Barath, Mr. Bauer's paralegal - she is very good at what she does and keeps you informed of everything going on and gets things done in a very timely manner. Love working with their title company, Ability Title also, Megan and Nicole get even the hardest transactions closed!!

Bauer & Associates were there for me in dealing with the estate of my late father at a time of great sorrow, loss and heartache. They took the heavy burden in contending with the legal processes of probate off my shoulders, and, their costs to do so were sensible. I could then solely focus on mourning the loss of my dad without having to worry about all the legal details or being overcharged for legal services. Also, living out of state, I was concerned that I would not be able to deal with all the back and fourths with the courts, but they took that worry off my plate, too. The paralegal, Jaclyn Barath, sent all of the legal paperwork that needed reviewing, notarizing and/or signing directly to my email. She could not have made the process any more easy for me and I am very grateful! I appreciate that they gave me direction at a time when I had no idea which way to go. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates to help in addressing your legal concerns; they will be there for you!

Extremely satisfied with everything they did for me at Bauer and Associates. They took care of every detail for me and handled my legal matters quickly and professionally. Made it so easy on me. Thanks.

Bauer & Associates is the place to go if you have any Estate needs. I work in Real Estate and work very close with Jaclyn Barath, Mr. Bauer's paralegal - she is very good at what she does and keeps you informed of everything going on and gets things done in a very timely manner. Love working with their title company, Ability Title also, Megan and Nicole get even the hardest transactions closed!!

The sudden death of my brother was a tragic time for our family. From the introductory phone call, Jaclyn Barath was patient & knowledgeable. It became clear that she & the firm would assist & guide us through this difficult process. Jaclyn was extremely responsive and always took the time to answer all of our questions (and there were many) since we live out of state and had no idea on where to start with the probate/estate process for my late brother. I really have only positive things to say about our experience and would highly recommend Jaclyn and the staff of Bauer & Associates.

The loss of my grandmother and father was definitely a difficult time in my life. About two years ago I was out in a position that required me having to hire an attorney. I was so very lucky to have come across Bauer & Associates. During a time of grieving but also being taken advantage of by a family member Mr. Bauer and his team went to work, filing a perform and reversing court orders to get what was rightfully mine. It was a long process, not due to Bauer and Associates, but they stuck beside me and they were always keeping me updated on the processes. They were life savers and saved me so much traveling time and stress. Needless to say I was happy when Bauer and Associates fixed everything wrong but was sad because it would probably be the last time I talked to Mr. Bauer and his team!! Natalie was always so pleasant to speak with and Jacklyn was always available to answer questions I didn’t quite understand. I can’t thank them enough!! I highly recommend Bauer and Associates and you will get the results you’re looking for and have peace of mind at night knowing you’re in good hands. God bless you all and thank you for everything!!!

Mr. Bauer and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in doing my Will. Mr Bauer covered all issues I had and explained everything in detail. I never felt rushed or ignored. Mr Bauer gave me insight to other areas of interest that I was not aware of and this will help me with finalizing my plans for the future. I highly recommend this firm.

Very positive experience. Mr. Bauer was very thorough preparing our will and trust. His staff is very efficient and was responsive to all questions. I highly recommend Bauer and Associates.

Bauer and Associates has been an invaluable resource. My family member died suddenly and without a will. I had no idea how to proceed. Mr. Bauer was very clear when he went over everything with me. He even advised me to take a different route than I was planning - which actually did not benefit his bottom line. Jackie, the paralegal, then helped me navigate the legal process. I knew nothing and we were even in different states - she was patient and explained every step. I had no problem getting in touch with Jackie. She always took my calls (and there were a few). She took care of everything. The process was quick and easy. This is the kind of firm you need when you are grieving. People who understand and WANT to help. Thank you Mr. Bauer, Jackie and Natalie!

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Bauer and Jaclyn in a probate and guardianship case. Because of the nature of our case, it was a complicated process that took time and patience. Having them at our side made it painless. I will be using Mr. Bauer's services in the years to come. Thank you!

Mr. Bauer and his staff, Natalie, Nichole and Jackie will make a difficult situation go smooth and easy on you. Great communication with all and easy access for all the questions I had with a complicated event. I have had the honor of working with Kirk Bauer for 20 years and will only use him for legal advice.

My siblings and I hired Mr. Bauer for help with an immoral situation with our other sibling after our mother's passing. Mr. Bauer listens intently; takes notes. Never wavering, he's compassionate to your situation. He works very well with his peers and our outcome was positive. His staff is knowledgeable with friendly personalities; such a joy. Great communication skills throughout.
Then...I immediately hired him for my Estate Planning. I have a few special desires at death. Everything in in Perfect order.
Mr. Bauer, I thank you for your professionalism, knowledge and skills.
All Staff, especially Natalie...You are ALL such amazing Women. Thank you for everything.
Yes, you want to hire Mr. Bauer.

Very pleased with the outstanding professionalism and communication I experienced while working with the Bauer team. I live out of state and needed an attorney for a probate case in Florida, so having someone I could trust to stay on top of my case was critical. Everyone involved went above and beyond, staying in communication with me throughout the whole process. I wanted to write a glowing review here because as someone who puts a lot of emphasis on the experience of others who have used a service, I would whole heartedly recommend Bauer & Associates to anyone.

As a small business owner with over 20 years of customer service experience I'm highly critical on what the term "Great Customer Service" entails. Mr. Bauer and team truly provide Great Customer Service from every facet of the words. It is a dying breed of experience to be Highly Satisfied with service now a day's, but on the contrary Mr. Bauer does a wondrous job in making a connection and finding out about whats important to you.

Mr. Kirk Bauer and his staff have handled the legal affairs of many of my family members for years. Everyone is very professional, courteous, efficient, and attentive. These qualities are sometimes hard to find in todays world. I would highly recommend this law practice, for any of your legal needs.

Mr. Bauer and his staff have been extremely helpful, prompt and professional with all our legal needs. I highly recommend them.

Great bunch of people. Highly recommend them. Tom Hill does a great job.

Mr. Bauer and his staff (particularly, Jaclyn Barath) handled the probate of my mother's Florida estate flawlessly. Although a relatively simple probate, there were a few twists and turns that were unfamiliar to me as a Pennsylvania resident and he and Jackie guided me expertly through the experience every step of the way. I particularly appreciated Mr. Bauer's willingness to negotiate a fee that suited the difficultly level of the probate.

Mr. Bauer was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind while helping my parents with estate planning. The office staff was the same. A good location, easy to get to. I'll definitely go back to get my estate in order. The appointment was on time and went smoothly. Everything thing was well explained. I'd recommend this attorney.

Flawlessly executed our estate planning. Met with us on two occasions to make sure all our questions were answered and make sure it was exactly like we wanted. The office staff is super as well.

Kirk and his excellent support staff have been invaluable to both to growing and protecting our business as well as providing confidence and security in our personal lives. He is of unquestionable professionalism and integrity and acutely aware of our business and personal needs. Simply, he has helped our business and individually move through the challenges, opportunities, and stresses with wonderful outcomes. Finally if you need a "business grownup" and incredible individual, Kirk's your man!

I recently used Bauer and Associates to do Estate Planning. Mr. Bauer was very thorough, and when we completed the paperwork, I felt very confident that my affairs were all in order. Mr. Bauer never rushed me – he answered all of my questions and made recommendations to me based on his professional knowledge. The staff was friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this firm and plan to use them again as my needs may come up."

I can't say enough about the quality of work that Mr. Bauer has done for me and my wife. Kirk is always available to talk with us, is very knowledgeable, dependable and honest. I highly recommend his work. I cannot say enough good things about him."

I was found in the position of being the Executor for my good friend’s estate due to her untimely passing. This was a very complicated estate and if it were not for Mr. Bauer and his staff I would not have endured all the things that were involved. They were there with me every step of the way and always in a timely manner. They went way beyond my expectations and helped make this much less stressful than it could have been, I would recommend Mr. Bauer to anyone and everyone if you are looking for someone down to earth, honest and someone that will work hard for you and support you all the way...I can't thank Mr. Bauer and his staff enough for what they have done for me and for always being there when I needed them."

I recently sat down with Mr. Bauer to do my estate planning. He answered all of my questions and thoroughly explained the documents I would need. I was very impressed with Mr. Bauer's professionalism and his staff. I would highly recommend Mr. Bauer."

Thank you for handling my mother's estate. It’s never easy choosing a business out of state to work with, let alone a law firm. You both made this process as easy as this could possibly be for me – Thank you, it was a pleasure working with you."

A note of thanks and appreciation for the exceptional job and effort. From the borrower’s initial phone call to closing…six days. Unbelievable. Thanks so much."

Thank you for always “taking care” of my legal matters – but most of all for being my friend. With your advice, I know everything is as it should be."

My thanks to you for being so prompt and thorough…Might be the best experience (certainly most expeditious) I have ever had with an attorney over my career in the business world."
