What People Are Saying
“I hired Tom earlier this year while dealing with a significant health issue and needed his services. I can assure anyone who needs a lawyer for financial advice will not go wrong with this attorney. Unlike many lawyers I have dealt with in my life, my experience with Mr. Bauer was different.
He will truly CARE about you and have compassion for your situation and will do his best to protect you and is patient and thorough. He answers phone calls and messages immediately, has your best interest at heart and is truly the best attorney I have hired. Five stars for certain!”
— Jolie D.
“You will not find a better, more experienced and knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer than Thomas Bauer. After researching a few area bankruptcy lawyers I found that Mr. Bauer had direct experience with the bankruptcy courts and trustees in his early law career. He applies this experience to each individual case he manages. More than that, he is very approachable, patient and thorough in considering the individual needs of his clients. After my first interaction with him I felt like I had a partner rather than more formal representative for my particular bankruptcy action. His fee is manageable and he was generous with his time in answering my many questions. I am very satisfied and urge anyone considering bankruptcy, especially during this difficult time with this terrible pandemic, to contact Mr. Bauer. He is very professional and yet he is both comforting and reassuring. Give him a call while you are looking for a very experienced and compassionate bankruptcy attorney.”

I said I have to do something and I need to find the best of the best to help me. That is exactly who I found. Mr Bauer’s knowledge, professionalism and kindness was what I found.

“I only wish I came to Thomas sooner! Happened to find this gentleman after reviewing numerous attorneys via Google for my specific real estate situation. All of the positive reviews are spot on: Thomas is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and took time to understand my concerns and provided sound guidance. I was left with such a positive impression that I will be referring his services to other friends and family members in the Hudson Valley. I think it’s also a unique advantage to have such a learned real estate attorney who is also a CPA. Thomas-thanks again for a really taking your time with me and helping me out.”

“I have used Mr. Bauer for various legal and accounting services these last 6 years. I am eternally grateful for all his kind help during a difficult time after my cancer. His thorough detailed evaluation of my situation and sound advice made him indispensable and led to a very successful outcome. I couldn't imagine being represented by anyone else.”
— Maggie Y.
“Tom was referred to me Frances Chiu ( Wonder Woman of Realestate )
I am very very impressed, been to several closings starting in 1973.
Tom provided me with a draft closing statement prior to closing.
Best closing ever ever, Tom does all work up front no paper shuffle at closing.
A true professional.”
— Vincent M.
“Mr. Bauer has been our guardian angel! He helped my husband and I open a new business after we closed out my husband’s family business when my mother-in-law passed away. He patiently explained the pros and cons concerning the various business entity options and guided us in choosing the best business entity for our situation. He is clearly an expert in the field of law and he also skillfully guides you with regard to possible tax implications as well. However, what I found most incredible was his skill in helping us navigate some unexpected, difficult family dynamics that emerged. He’s not only a great lawyer, but he’s an awesome counselor as well! He truly listens, is compassionate and offers sound, sage advice. A visit with Mr. Bauer is more beneficial than a counseling or therapy session! We are so grateful that we were lucky enough to have the privilege of working with Mr. Bauer!”
— Andrea C.
“Mr. Bauer is kind, considerate & thorough. He is well organized and is an asset to anyone who needs help considering bankruptcy. He is thorough with his explanations & makes sure you completely understand your options. In the process of claiming bankruptcy, he made me feel confident and never once made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of needing to go through this process. He is very quick to respond to questions, works around your schedule & is very helpful throughout the process. I never felt unsure or alone.”
— Julie C.
“Thomas Bauer is best attorney you never knew you needed. I am a total newbie when it comes buying real estate and I had to learn a lot very quickly. Tom listened and patiently answered all of my questions. He’s very knowledgeable and service-oriented. He actually cares about protecting your best interest. He also is very responsive and makes you feel like you are the most important person on the planet. As a woman trying to navigate my first home purchase, having Tom on my side helped me feel empowered, supported and protected. I was very fortunate to find an attorney who carefully considered any scenarios that might arise and made sure to account for and protect me from possible pitfalls. There’s no one better that you could have on your side. Tom is the best!”

He is personable and just plain old "down to earth" while being the professional lawyer you would want ...and of course expect! Looking for a great lawyer....Thomas W. Bauer!

“Tom is an unbelievably responsive attorney. The case in which he represented me was complex and anxiety-producing. Tom managed to address each issue patiently, and carefully walked me through the entire experience. I'm very grateful for his patience and effectiveness. I can't imagine, frankly, having a better attorney than Tom to work with. If I need an attorney in the future, he'll be my first call.”
— Rene S.
“Tom Bauer is an exemplary attorney and an exceptional individual. I needed legal representation as I was purchasing a home and luckily my real estate agent referred me to Tom. He not only handled the closing expeditiously, but he also provided me with legal guidance and counsel throughout the entire process. As I was making this purchase on my own, I would have felt stymied had it not been for his wisdom and professional support. I never had to wait long for him to respond to any questions I had as he always did so within a very short amount of time, thus relieving a great deal of my home-buying stress. Tom Bauer is now my comprehensive attorney as I will turn to him for assistance on all legal matters.”
