While the caseload and the totals are impressive, volume and dollar amounts do not tell the story of success. What stands out is how Bauman Law undertakes to treat every case, with integrity, with preparation, and with an unwavering focus on producing outcomes.

Trust like that is very rare, and Bauman Law puts in the work to earn the trust.
How The Team Works Together
What you see on the outside, a professional, performance-based law office is fueled on the inside with collaboration, problem-solving and open communication. Weekly meetings are the industry standard across departments. The members share thoughts, discuss changes in statutes or case law, and brainstorm the best way to attack complex issues.

A Different Kind of a Law Office
If you spend time at Bauman Law, you will see a few differences right away. First, the firm actually limits its practice to personal injury. This is not a general law practice, or a firm that handles injury cases when the circumstances are right. This is a firm that is exclusively designed to handle and win personal injury claims – from minor things like fender benders, to catastrophic injuries. Second, the law firm leadership is diverse and straightforward. The culture at this firm does not revolve around hierarchy, it revolves around performance and ethics.
And third, the firm invests in technology and process improvement. Clients may not see this right away, but they feel the difference when their attorney is available, when timelines are accurate, and when there is more consistent communication. This efficient back-end management is what makes Bauman Law capable of managing a large case load while still giving things the time and attention required.
