Anchorage, AK
One of the worst experiences ever. I was working with both Leanne and Kael. Apparently Leanne was selling her practice to Kael and I didn’t know that I thought they worked together but talking between 2 people about one case was ridiculous. Kael did absolutely nothing for me and charged me 5500$ and didn’t do anything for me. At the time of my hearing I was sitting right behind him and he didn’t know I was there. He started reading off my sentence and was totally the wrong sentencing, the prosecutor had to correct him at which time he laughed it off. Complete neglegence. Unprofessional. I’d be in the same boat I’m in if I never even hired them. What a waste of money. Do not use Kael. Horrible.
I consulted every lawyer in town for my case, not only was Kael the most confident and knowledgeable, but his pricing was fair and competitive. I was facing a possesion charge as well as an oui and open container charge. Kael was able to get all my charges dismissed before my job ever found out.
leigh ann bauer is a must go to attourney i highly recommend if your stressing to choose an attourney for dui charge. she is the best
Nate - thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We appreciate you & are so glad to have had the opportunity to help you!
Leanne and her office were incredibly helpful from beginning to end. They helped me get through all the paperwork and in the end negotiated to the point where my DUI was 100% dismissed can’t oversell how helpful they all were
Thank you for the review, and for trusting us along the way. We were happy to help, and thrilled for you with the outcome!
Best law firm is Anchorage. Leigh Ann and her team are top shelf lawyers. They were able to get one of my husbands DUI's dropped, his gun charge dropped and a handful of other court violations dropped. They also care about people, they got him into a treatment facility and gave him his life back! Great people, 10 out of 10. Would highly recommend!!
Wow, thank you so much! We are so happy to have helped him out and are so proud of him for getting treatment.
She was amazing her whole team was.. Fought for me on the most Unpredictable circumstances… She is rough around the edges, but it’s because she very much cares about what she’s doing.. Her staff performed a miracle with my care and I’ll be forever grateful… Highly recommend her
Thank you so much! We appreciate you trusting us with your case and are so happy (and more importantly) that YOU are happy with the outcome!
Leigh Ann is extremely unprofessional and rude. She talked over me and belittled me almost every phone call. Her and her team were no help and a huge waste of money. I believe the 5 star reviews are fake. Please don’t fall into the trap of this operation taking money from people going through a hard vulnerable time.
You are not being truthful. You wanted to be your own lawyer, so I was terminated from representing you. You need to own what you did or didn't do with your own case.<br><br>Abraham Lincoln put this best,<br><br>"The man who represents himself has a fool for a client."
Leigh Ann and her team always fight for the best outcome and were very helpful with helping me take the right steps through my OUI case I would recommend her services to anyone that’s looking for good representation in there case
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are appreciative of your trust in our firm and were happy to help.
Unfortunately, federal law could dictate bad things and that is not something that we have any control over, federal law governs many situations and that is outside of anybody's control. Unfortunately, federal law will take precedence over state cases, and there is nothing any attorney in a state case can do to trump a federal matter. We wish you the best moving forward.
You must have me confused with another law office. I have no record of you calling our office, I have never met with you, nor are you a client. You never left any feedback on what our office can do to improve or what we did wrong. We researched your name and found nothing but blank accounts leading us to believe that you are a bot or troll.<br>
I was on vacation when I ran in to trouble. Googled and her office was the only one that answered. I’ve ran in to trouble other times and spent thousands leading me to believe all lawyers are liars until I met Leigh Ann. She’s professional, lets you know what to expect and lets you know what she will focus on doing for your best possible outcome. No promises, but you feel reassured she will do her best for you..By the way her fees are incredibly reasonable and she works with you to save you money. Her team of paralegals keeps you up to date on your case and anything pending.Miraculously thanks to her , my case was dismissed otherwise I’d be serving time in Alaska very far from home. Even after my case was closed , she and her team reached out to find out if I needed help with any other paperwork in my home town. I highly recommend her. If you want the best outcome choose Leigh Ann as your representative.
Leigh Ann is easily the worst person and definitely the worst lawyer I have ever met. My father hired her for my second DUI in February of 2020 and it has been a nightmare to work with her since then. She acts as if doing anything her job requires is a huge hassle and makes sure you know "how much effort she is putting in", without ever actually showing proof of any of it. Initially, I did not want to go to Seattle for "treatment" because I knew I didn't need it. Liz, her paralegal/secretary then instructed me to just go to a different program and not tell Leigh Ann about it. I did that and graduated. Received no recognitiion from Leigh Ann or the court, nor did they ever ask for any proof of it. So it was pointless. I was also on house arrest for almost all of 2020, with Leigh Ann not trying to get me off of it once, no matter how many times I asked, and ended up not receiving credit for any of it because she refused to argue my case. I ended up getting in trouble again in February of this year unfortunately, due to my mental health issues, which Leigh Ann and the entire court were more than aware of, and all I got in return was Leigh Ann compeltely quitting as my lawyer and taking all of my money with her, not ever showing me any proof of what she had actually done as my lawyer in the LAST YEAR. She did not quit due to me having issues; she quit because I asked for evidence that she had argued my case. I have several voice recordings of her screaming at me and calling me names, as well as many emails including her lack of professionalism and downright rudeness. This is not how you treat people, much less clients who are paying you. I have already started my complaint to the bar. All of this being said, based on her reviews, you can definitely tell she picks favorite clients who she actually wants to help and those that she doesn't. Which is why she receives either 5 or 1 star. So hey, if you want to waste $10,000 in hopes that you will be one she'll actually like and do her job for, go for it. But I wouldn't risk it. I now have a public defender who is doing 10 times more than she ever did and actually keeping me updated on what is going on with my case. Who would have thought that someone provided from the state would be more helpful than an attorney? It's because they actually have something to prove; she doesn't. Leigh Ann and her office don't care about you as a person or a client. Look somewhere else. UPDATE: I now have a public defender who actually communicates with me and is helping me stay out of jail. Leigh Ann never did this. She was going to let me rot in jail for months. Also, he is getting me credit for being on house arrest March-August of last year when Leigh Ann refused to even try. In regards to her comments, well, you can see how she always has an excuse for people who are unhappy with her service. Update in 2024: I have now graduated from a wellness court program and have been sober for several years. I still feel the same way about Leigh Ann Bauer. She chooses to represent some people well and others her team chooses to throw away. I’m still upset that my father paid her $10,000 to verbally abuse and belittle me for having alcohol issues and trying to seek help and representation.
This is completely untrue. This a retaliatory post from a former client, who is upset with her current self-imposed legal situation. The Professional Rules of Conduct, prohibit me from commenting on this post. We will use the client's own words to portray the truth.<br><br>1. "My father hired her for my second DUI in February 2020"<br>2. "I was not the easiest client to work for, because I didn't want to go to Seatle for "treatment" because I didn't need it"<br>3. "I was on house arrest for almost all of 2020"<br>4. "I ended up getting into trouble again in February of this year"<br><br>This client was treated with respect by myself and my staff, even when she did not reciprocate. We were available to her 24/7 and wish this client nothing but the best.<br><br>UPDATE: Since you have self-identified yourself, we encourage any concerned reader to look on courtview and learn for themselves that this person is unable to tell the truth.
June 28, 2024 I called their "office" which sounded more like a call center answering service yesterday and today. I told the person who answered that I wanted to make an appointment to have a Will and Trust made up. I was told both times that message would be forwarded and that somebody would call me. I never heard a word. I guess if you need a Will or Trust or both to be done, this place doesn't consider it big enough money to mess with. I will now go somewhere else. Thanks Leigh Ann
Office ladies are amazing but Leighann is not.
I used my hat, cat, and broom to get your case dismissed. You are upset over a dismissal of your case? I wish you could see my resting witch face right now.
Ms. Bauer, and her team are hard working and care about your outcome. Her work and results reflect her years of experience. She did a wonderful job getting results for me, and I highly recommend her.
Leigh Ann and her team were the best choice I could have made when I found myself in a terrible situation. They were all super helpful and insightful and Leigh Ann herself, a superstar. I highly recommend Leigh Ann Bauer to anyone looking for a solid, dependable lawyer and legal team.
Your kind words mean more than you know! Thank you so much.
Leigh Ann Bauer was amazing representing me in a DUI case! It was a very challenging case in which the state was not being truthful with their evidence and testimonies. She, and Liz worked very hard in a very knowledgeable way and were able to get my case dismissed. I cannot thank you both enough!!! Sincerely, Todd Blanchard
ALL of us were so excited about the outcome of your case. Thank you for trusting us and we are so glad you're as happy about it as we are!
Leigh Ann works really hard to make the best of what can be a really bad situation, and you can tell cares very deeply for all her clients.
Leigh Ann help me keep my license for a few months, house arrest, even tho that depend on your background🙄,got my probation knock down a year and got my sentence knock down by a day. But to be honest when it comes down to it, she an average lawyer. Look into a public defender before spending thousands of dollars on her, you probably get the same results regarding a DUI if the evidence is heavy on you. If you are trying to get your conviction knock down to reckless driving, try another lawyer. Terminology she use on me "March your little butt to jail" " if there better lawyers then hire them" extremely rude and always interrupted me when I talk. Be careful guys, these lawyers get paid regardless if your convicted or not.......so some lawyers might not care.
Thank you, Mr. Roney, for your valued feedback. You’re right, there are many defense attorneys to choose from and we’re grateful for every client that selects our office to help them with their case. Ms. Bauer’s job is to examine every minute of a case and locate legal defenses. Admittedly and regretfully, we’ve had many cases that do not provide us with circumstances that allow for a dismissal or reduction and unfortunately that is not something that can be predicted prior to “spending thousands” on an attorney. Our office works diligently for the dismissals and reductions that we do get every single month. Furthermore, our office has set limits for what cases we take and cities we take cases, so that we are able to give each client careful attention and walk them through every step of the process, especially if there is no dismissal or reduction. Ms. Bauer would never say “march your little butt to jail”. She has tremendous respect for the penalties our clients suffer though. Part of assisting a client through a conviction is getting electronic monitoring set up so they can do their jail time at home rather than jail, so to make such a casual and insulting comment about a penalty that is taken very seriously is implausible for a defense attorney of 30 years.
