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.

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

Bauer and Associates did an excellent job on our family wills. The process was well explained and completed in a timely manner. The draft wills were completed to our family needs and the signing process was easy, well explained and efficiently completed. My wife and I are very satisfied with the finished documents. Because I am a military veteran, I was offered a helpful discount on this reasonably priced, professional service. Thank You, Charles

Was very lucky to be able to use Mr Bauer , we were recommended from someone in Illinois , another lawyer , it couldn’t have been any more painless . The estate was out of probate in record time and there fee was unheard of . Jackie as well was doing all the correspondence and it was such a pleasure to be able to feel like family with them in this unhappy time for our family . It truly was a great experience !!!

My family and I needed a lawyer to handel 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.

Kirk Bauer set my mind at ease in the first conversation and let me know he would be there throughout the process of probate and he was a man of his word. Jaclyn Crawford as well walked me step by step through the process and was very helpful. With both of them we got through everything with ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
