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.

When my father passed suddenly being 1500 miles away was so scary not knowing how to even start dealing with the process of probate. Mr Bauer's office was suggested to us by a family friend. Just the initial contact with Jaclyn made me feel so at ease and I knew that everything was going to be ok. Very professional and compassionate. They got our probate matters done in such a timely manner and made everything so easy for us I can't thank them enough!! Would highly recommend to anyone needing help dealing with a loved ones estate.

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 t

I cannot thank Jaclyn & Natalie enough for their help with my Dad’s estate. Living in California I was pretty overwhelmed with the thought of dealing with probate so far away. Bauer and Associates made the process easy and really took a huge burden off my shoulders. I highly recommend them and I am so grateful to them for going the extra mile with kindness and professionalism!

I can’t say enough nice things about Kirk and his team. Everyone we worked with – Kirk, Jaclyn, Natalie and Tom – was efficient, knowledgeable, always responsive and a real pleasure to work with. I first met the team at a difficult time when my stepmother was quite ill. My stepmom (and my late father) had a long-standing relationship with Kirk. Several years ago, her estate plan was reviewed and updated, including wills & trusts as well as all needed medical and financial authorizations. It was the completeness of that documentation that allowed my sister and me to step in and assist with paying bills and coordinating medical issues. After her death, Kirk and Jaclyn walked me through my responsibilities as administrator & trustee and then handled everything related to the estate. Jaclyn kept me informed at each phase and I honestly don’t know how I would have done everything without them. They have my gratitude and I recommend them without hesitation.

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 serviecs. 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 reccomend Bauer & Associates to help in addressing your legal concerns; they will be there for you!
