Martindale Hubbell rates Bauer’s legal ability and ethical standards as AV Preeminent, which is the highest possible rating. Bauer has been named a Rising Star by SuperLawyers Magazine multiple years. He was named one of 40 under 40 by National Trial Lawyers, Top 10 attorneys under 40 by Attorney at Law Magazine, and one of Jacksonville’s 40 under 40 to watch by the Jacksonville Business Journal.
