Working with Kirk Bauer's paralegal Jaclyn was amazing. We had a tricky probate situation with my father's estate and she made the process very easy. I would highly recommend this law office.

Working with Jeff and Jaclyn was as good as it gets, excellent service & communication. You hear that typically the probate process is grueling, time consuming, exhausting and frustrating, this was absolutely not the case with Jaclyn, she knows every aspect of it and did a fantastic job. Both my brother and I really appreciated all her and Jeff did. Greg

I didn't speak with Mr. Bauer, but Jaclyn was the one who handled my family's case. She did a great job, and did it all with a smile! Perfect handling of such important legal matters. 10 out of 10!

Jacalyn Barath handled the probate process of my mother’s estate. She did an amazing job with all aspects of it. I highly recommend this firm for your probate needs.

They are the absolute best. I had a complicated probate case, due to my husband passing with out a will. Mr Bauer, Jaclyn and Tammy made this complicated situation go smoothly. They informed me of each step and walked thru it all with me. They returned every phone call and email. Jaclyn talked me thru my low points and assured me everything was ok. Very fair priced, excellect service. I will be forever greatful that I found you all. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

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.

Bauer & Asssociates got us through probate quickly and easily. They did not waste any time. I am in another state so getting it done remotely was very important. The fee was more than fair. I won't have to do this again, but would certainly recommend Bauer & Associates to anyone with similar needs.

Mr. Bauer and his team made an extremely stressful situation easy. I had my mother in the hospital while trying to process the passing of my grandmother and handle her probate at the same time. Jaclyn was fantastic! She answered all of my questions, was in constant contact with me, and took such an enormous weight off my shoulders in the process. I would recommend anyone to utilize their expertise. I could not have asked for a better team to be in my corner during such a difficult time.

I was happy that we could conduct our business over the phone and on-line since I live out of state. Everything was conducted professionally and gave clear instructions.

We hired Kirk Bauer & Associates to handle a probate and trust administration matter, and I’m very happy we did. From the outset, Bauer & Associates inspired confidence, letting us know what to expect at every stage and what we needed to do to move the process forward. Even though we were working from out of state, we were able to communicate everything readily by phone, email, and US mail. The team was very responsive to our questions, managing to be both highly professional and compassionate at the same time. Our legal situation proceeded smoothly and well within the expected timeframe and budget. I highly recommend Bauer & Associates.
