About:
What is the most important attribute in a Criminal Defense Attorney? Aggressive Advocacy. An attorney who isn’t afraid to stand up for you and your rights, no matter how long it takes! Attorney Bauer is your Aggressive Advocate. Joe started his career in the prosecutor’s office and participated in four jury trials and countless bench trials in the counties of Porter, Tippecanoe, and Berrien, MI, securing convictions on misdemeanors and low-level felonies. Understanding the prosecutorial process only broadens Attorney Bauers’ knowledge of the Due Process and helps him in negotiating your case for the best possible route. After gaining experience from the Prosecutors office, Joe began his career in Criminal Defense. To highlight a few of his trials; - Tippecanoe County: Defendant was facing 8.5 years: NOT GUILTY - Wabash County: Defendant was facing 6.5 years: NOT GUILTY (found guilty of lesser misdemeanor charge and only served 60 days) - Lake County: Defendant was facing 6 years: NOT GUILTY - Kosciusko County: Defendant was facing 8 years: NOT GUILTY - Kosciusko County: Defendant was facing 3.5 years: NOT GUILTY - Fulton County: Defendant was facing LIFE: AQUITED ON MURDER - Fulton County: Defendant facing 37.5 years: Plead down to 3 years Probation. - Fulton County: Defendant Facing 12 years: Plead down to 2 years Probation. - Marshall County: Defendant facing 8.5 years: Plead down to 2 years Probation. - Floyd County: Defendant was facing 33.5 years: Plead down to 128 days. Attorney Bauer has collectively saved over 150 years of people’s lives by not being afraid to take cases to trial because he believed in his clients. Time is important to Bauer. He believes that being readily available for his clients is necessary to provide them with the best service. Joe has an office cell phone he uses for receiving texts from clients that either he or his paralegal, Sara, have at all times.

"I hired Joe in 2022 and he was always available any time I needed him. Stuck to his word and got me the exact deal that was discussed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a legal situation. His paralegal, Sara, is awesome! Thank you guys for all you’ve done."

"This guy represented a wonderful mother that raised their child by themselves with any help from the other party while he took off outta state and caused his girlfriend to loose her kids to CPS. We had a very hard case to work but I think he is misunderstood about a few things so if anyone is planning on hiring him for custody make sure he is very clear about the case you have he goes outta his way on his time for his clients it's important that he is understanding and not misunderstood I could only imagine the stress of this type of job I just wanted to thank him for the work he done with attorney conference which I don't know what was said during these conferences to even answer to but I suppose all I can do is be positive about things and move forward. My daughter and I are doing great without the other party that decides to show up when I ask for child support but we all know how that game is played"
