We know divorce is hard. We know it feels like your life is falling apart - like you will never feel normal or whole again. You have more questions than answers and every which way you turn, someone is giving you (mostly unsolicited) advice about what you should be doing. It doesn't have to be this way.
Your goals, needs, emotions, concerns, and fears all contribute to what kind of legal experience you have. What happens during your divorce is important, but what happens after your divorce is equally as important. Our entire team is dedicated to supporting you through this journey and we are committed to ensuring that you feel empowered to make important decisions by providing legal advocacy and mindset coaching.

I recently worked with attorney Joe DiSilvestro and he and his staff are responsive, considerate and helpful! I fully recommend using Bauer Law Group as they were professional, timely and attentive to my case. Joe answered all my questions, was always available to help in any way he could, and was forward leaning throughout my time working with him.

Attorney Megan McGrath and her staff have been nothing short of amazing during this difficult time. Attorney McGrath was always attentive to my case, responsive to my questions and concerns, and made me feel heard. It's not everyday you have an attorney who validates your thoughts, provides expert advice, and teaches you along the way. I would recommend Bauer Law Group to anyone looking for support and guidance during these times, it has been such a relief to have the representation of Megan and the rest of the staff at Bauer Law Group.

Renee represented me in my recent divorce. She listened to my concerns, and guided me through a difficult time. Her knowledge of the legal system allowed her to give me perspective and insight that I would not have had otherwise and, while the legal proceedings were frustrating at times, I always trusted that Renee was doing what was best for me and my son. She was exceptionally responsive and, even in the midst of Covid and court closures, was able to make progress on the case and get the divorce finalized in under a year (for which I am extremely grateful). She artfully balanced keeping me in

Attorney Joe, as the kids and I refer to him as, is admired by me for his clear understanding on knowing what is truly best for my two kids.
The children look up to him as a kind, gentle advocate.
At the beginning of our divorce proceedings, he was referred to us. Not only did I feel comfortable, both kids felt immediately confident and comfortable speaking with him.
From the start, it was obvious that he had a great rapport with them.
Joe had to assist our family on different occasions and we have always felt safe and comfortable with him.

The staff is extremely friendly and responsive, attorney Disilvestro was highly recommended from several people, after dealing with him through two closings, I now know why. He and the entire staff made me feel at ease through the whole process. I would highly recommend the Bauer Law Group to anyone in need of an attorney.

Megan has been helping me with my case for over 5 years now. She has gone above and beyond for me since day 1. She always has had the best interest in my son and myself. Her professionalism and attitude are absolute top notch. If I ever had a question or concern and needed to contact her, she is ALWAYS there. If you are looking for a lawyer who will work with you, listen to you, give an honest and realistic opinion, do what’s best for your child and yourself, and who overall puts her heart in her work, look no further thank Megan and the Bauer Law Group!!

In my experience Renee was such a life saver. She went up against a very difficult case for me. Against all odds, she was able to bring forth important facts to help grant me sole custody. She went above and beyond for me since day one. She was there to listen and seek justice! She did not give up on me or my daughter when some days I felt defeated. She kept me strong. She not only acted as a lawyer but someone with a generous and loving heart, who will stand for what is right and is willing to put up a fight no matter what is thrown her way. She can handle just about anything. She has the wit

Bauer Law Group was incredible to me through everything. Both Megan and Renee were fantastic attorneys on my behalf, and Shannon and Leslie offered all the support and help I needed with financials and details. I remember walking in for my first meeting so scared and overwhelmed, yet when I walked out, I felt much more prepared to face what was ahead and equipped with all the information and power I needed. They were powerful advocates for me and my son and yet also so kind, supportive, and understanding through it all. They know the system inside and out and truly specialize in family law. Would
