    "If you want the best, retain Attorney Bauer"
    Attorney Bauer is not only knowledgeable in family law but she personally cares about her clients and how they are impacted by the legal system. I found her to be smart and compassionate. Hiring her was the smartest thing I did and my family is very grateful. Thank you Renee for everything!

    "Amazing. Would recommend Happy Even After to everyone."
    Renee helped me through the horrendous process of divorce. I recently divorced my husband of 10 years and have two small children. Renee really helped me understand how to make our new family dynamic work with my children's best interests in mind. Thank you to Renee and her whole staff for always keeping me informed and being incredibly supportive. I truly can't express my gratitude enough. I would recommend anyone going through divorce or child custody issues to work with Happy Even After. This firm will work tirelessly for their clients and will be very upfront and honest about your options.

    "Couldn't have had a better experience."
    I was initially very hesitant to consult a lawyer because the process and language was all very foreign to me. From the minute I met Renee I felt completely comfortable and I knew she would do everything she could to represent me in my divorce case. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a very personal and professional experience.

    "Uncontested Divorce"
    In March of 2016 I had a consultation with Attorney McGrath - an associate of Attorney Bauer. Within 10 minutes I knew that I was going to hire her to handle my uncontested divorce. She provided me with information on new laws that would waive the 90-day waiting period (a relief) and also assuaged concerns I had about potential financial support my spouse could petition for and be awarded. The entire staff was professional and extremely responsive with all paperwork that was required (a lot). It was an emotional time and Attorneys McGrath and Bauer made it less painful by being positive and taking care of everything. No missed steps anywhere along the way and they provide very accurate invoicing - everything is very transparent. They were even able to get a court date within a week of having all paperwork and agreements signed which was a GIFT to not have to drag it out for weeks and weeks. Would highly recommend.

    "Hire Renee Bauer. .... That would be your first best move."
    Renee and her staff are amazing. I was well informed and they answered all question and handled everything perfectly for me. They were super supportive and encouraging and they have been and still are more than a great legal "team". After 10 months of working closely with them, they have become very important to me. I feel as though they saved my sanity. I can't say enough good things about them. They cared about me and my case and still do. Hire Renee Bauer. If you do that would be your first best move. And after you hire her, do EVERYTHING she says and just trust her. She won't steer you wrong. She answers concerns very quickly, even on weekends. I only have positive things to say. There could not have been anyone better for me and my case. Thank you for everything!!!

    "Without all of you I would have failed and self destructed"
    The team at Happy Even After are absolutely amazing. Never did I feel unaware or uncomfortable throughout my whole process. The fair and prompt services from start to finish had me so at ease and left me with no wondering of what was needed to move forward and on to get me through this hard time. Very professional here. I am a male and have heard so many horror stories of men being treated unfair and unjust throughout These processes of divorce, well I can tell you this from first hand......I had the great opportunity to work with a team, not just any team....a team of amazing women ...( yes guys and I mean you men....that think only a man can be represented by a man in these matters to have a fair chance) ...this team of amazing human beings cannot be compared with other law groups. They are steps ahead of the pack. When I had my consultation with attorney McGrath one of the first things from her was concerning my children. To assure my children were taken care of first. That meant a lot. Then a question of am I sure I want a divorce that also meant a lot ...the concern of my situation and not the business aspect of the matter was put first. I want to thank the Happy Even After for all the hard work. I want to thank all of you amazing women from the bottom of my heart. I could not have done this without you all. I could not have done this with any other firm. People go through a lot throughout their lifetimes and meet people that have greatly impacted their lives. I will never forget you all and will never find enough or the right words to describe my experience with you all. If you need to obtain representation and you are reading reviews to see where to go. Stop after reading my review and call happy Even After you will not be disappointed or unsatisfied.

    I just wanted to write to again express my great thanks and appreciation for all the work you did and support you gave on my behalf through what of course is a difficult and very stressful process. Through any difficulty it was nice to be able to turn to you for guidance and assistance. And I never felt rushed, pressured or dismissed. You and your staff were always unequivocally responsive, intelligent and pleasant to deal with. I appreciate you walking me through it all and being on my side. Like me, I know your current and future clients are and will be in very good hands. And I hope our paths cross again, just under very different circumstances!

    "Renée was very thorough and smart when it comes to divorce and child custody especially for fathers’ rights."
    I had to find an attorney and the Happy Even After was highly recommended to me so I made my consultation with Renée. Right away I felt at ease. Renée took some of my worries away and she reassured me this is all normal procedure in getting a divorce. Renée was very professional, respectful, polite and kind... Renée was very thorough and smart when it comes to divorce and child custody especially for fathers’ rights. Everyone in her office was very professional, polite and caring. The paralegal was very helpful. She would get things done ASAP and if you needed something, she would send it through email right away. It was always a pleasure speaking with her on the phone, in person or through email. I also had the pleasure of working with Leslie who prepared my financial affidavit. She was always a pleasure to speak with, very polite, professional and helpful. Leslie would walk me through something I did not understand step-by-step or would find the answer for me. Overall, the whole firm was excellent. I highly recommend Happy Even After to anyone that's going through a divorce..... thanks for the positive experience from Renée and her law firm!!!!

    "I highly recommend Attorney Bauer and her team."
    I could not be happier with Renee Bauer as my divorce attorney. Attorney Bauer expertly guided me through my divorce and made the process as smooth as possible. Renee is a strategic thinker who offers practical and helpful advice and solutions. Her staff members also reflect these attributes as well and are also highly competent and a pleasure to work with. For these reasons and many others, I highly recommend Attorney Bauer and her team.

    "Attorney Bauer was very professional, a true advocate and always responded to my inquiries and concerns immediately."
    I wanted to write an honest review about my experience with Happy Even After. Before I retained Attorney Bauer, I was trying to navigate the court system on my own. After almost a year of going back and forth to court and accomplishing nothing in my effort to get divorced, I realized that I needed to consult with an attorney. Attorney Bauer was very professional, a true advocate and always responded to my inquiries and concerns immediately. The office staff went above and beyond for me whenever I needed something. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and professional attorney, I would recommend Attorney Bauer.
