I decided to become a lawyer while working for my father's law firm when I was in high school. I watched my father try cases, and decided that I wanted to become a trial attorney. In 1984 I spent a year abroad, studying at the Gymnasium Mussenredder in Hamburg, Germany.

I graduated from the University at Santa Barbara in 1985 with Honors in History and German Literature. I obtained my law degree in 1991 from McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. In 1992, I left California, and moved to Alaska. When I arrived in Alaska, I clerked for a Superior Court Judge and then worked as a public defender for approximately 5 years. I opened my own law firm and limited my practice to the areas of criminal defense, family law, and personal injury.

Practice Areas

Criminal Defense:

I have been successfully and aggressively defending Alaskans who have been charged with criminal offenses, specializing in misdemeanors and felonies. My practice consists primarily of DUI defense, assault offenses, drug offenses, and theft crimes. Since 1992, I have aggressively represented my clients by litigating numerous jury trial cases, and have obtained successful verdicts.

When working up a case, I bring with me many years of experience, and a promise that I will fight for my client's rights, and litigate any and every issue that is present in the case. I believe that a successful defender must put the State to the test and make them prove every element of their case. I am thorough, meticulous, and relentless. I purposefully look for the path of least resistance in every case.

Personal Injury:

The Law Office of Leigh Ann Bauer is dedicated to serving Alaskans who are injured or killed in automobile, airplane, and maritime accidents. Ms. Bauer has obtained multi-million dollar settlements on behalf of her clients. She is able to assist the client through all stages of a personal injury action, including trial. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, please call the Law Office of Leigh Ann Bauer for a free consultation.

Family Law:

A divorce action for many people is the most traumatic event that an individual goes through. Many times it involves children, years of accumulated assets and debts, and the termination of a relationship. I explain to my clients what they can expect in a divorce action, and how to get the best possible result. My office is sensitive to my client's expectations, walking my client through each and every aspect of a divorce action, offering words of encouragement, and ultimately being their front line of defense.
