What is the most important attribute in a Criminal Defense Attorney?
Aggressive Advocacy.
You deserve an attorney who is not afraid to stand up for you and protect your constitutional rights — no matter how complex the case or how long it takes. You need someone who will fight, negotiate strategically, and, when necessary, take your case to trial with confidence.
Attorney Joseph Bauer is your Aggressive Advocate.
Joe began his legal career in the Prosecutor’s Office, where he participated in four jury trials and countless bench trials across Porter County, Tippecanoe County, and Berrien County, Michigan. During that time, he secured convictions on misdemeanors and low-level felonies, gaining invaluable insight into how the State builds and prosecutes criminal cases.
That prosecutorial experience now serves his clients. By understanding the State’s strategy, procedures, and weaknesses, Attorney Bauer strengthens his defense approach and negotiates from a position of knowledge and leverage — always focused on securing the best possible outcome.
After transitioning into Criminal Defense, Joe quickly built a record of powerful results. A few highlights include:
Collectively, Attorney Bauer has helped save over 150 years of potential incarceration for his clients. He is not afraid to take cases to trial when he believes in the person he represents.
For Joe, time matters — especially your time. He believes accessibility is essential to effective representation. Clients have direct access to his office cell phone for texts and communication, monitored at all times by Joe or his paralegals, Sara and Chloe, ensuring you are never left in the dark about your case.
When your freedom is on the line, you need more than representation — you need relentless advocacy.
