She remarks, “I work to ensure that if our client has questions, we don’t end the call, meeting, or email exchange until all those questions have been answered and they have a complete understanding. I actively look for solutions and consider the ‘what-ifs’ that could arise during the case, and then assist the client to plan accordingly.”

Victoria’s Top Tip for Family Law Clients

“Litigation doesn’t have to be scary. Listen to your legal team and not your friend’s internet search results! Respond timely to what is asked of you and know that we will walk you through this process one step at a time.” 

Client Reviews

… I would be remiss not to highlight the contributions of [Ryan Bauerle’s] awesome paralegal, Victoria C. She is not only a consummate professional but also a kind and attentive presence throughout the process. Her support made a meaningful difference in both our family’s experience and the outcome. I am profoundly grateful for the impact this team has had on my child’s life and our family’s peace of mind. It is with heartfelt sincerity that I offer my strongest endorsement of Ryan Bauerle and Victoria C. Their dedication and skill are truly extraordinary amongst the best in the business. – Hakan O.

Going through divorce is hard no matter the circumstances. Mine were exceptionally challenging, but the staff at Goranson Bain Ausley, in particular Ryan R. Bauerle and Victoria Cernadas, provided timely, professional, and caring expertise throughout the process. With their help, I was able to walk away knowing I had done everything to save my marriage, and when that wasn’t possible, settle as amicably as possible for all parties involved, including my children. I highly recommend them. – Travis H.
Ryan and Victoria did an awesome job explaining the whole divorce process to me and keeping me protected throughout an emotional event.

I appreciate them and highly recommend this firm for anyone who is going through the awful divorce process. – Alex S.
I had the pleasure of working with Ryan, Lerrin, and Victoria who were all amazing! All three of them were knowledgeable, professional, and looked out for my best interest.

If you are looking for great representation, I recommend stopping your search here and choosing GBA. A big thank you Ryan, Lerrin, and Victoria who were an absolute dream team when I needed it the most! – Gabriela
I initially spoke with Paralegal Connor and worked directly with Paralegal Victoria and Attorney Ryan. All of them could not have been more professional, friendly, and empathetic. Responses to my emails came at the speed of light! My domestic relations issue was resolved and I am grateful to have had them on my side. If my issue resurfaces, I will not hesitate to reach out to them again and would recommend them highly. – Carol P.

Highly recommend Ryan Bauerle and his paralegal Victoria! Ryan is thoughtful and honest. He knows the law well. Interprets existing documents, and can explain how the courts view things. He listens to his clients and advises you directly. I get timely responses to questions. He really helped me on my case, and afterwards I’ve kept him on retainer for anything that arrives until both my kids are grown. – Anne E.
Going through a custody modification is one of the most stressful things a parent can face, and I’m so thankful I have had Ryan Bauerle and his assistant, Victoria, by my side!

Most importantly, they have consistently helped to guide me in making decisions based on what makes the most sense for my children and have always kept my kids’ best interests at the center of everything. I feel like my case and my opinions matter and that they truly care about my kids. I’m grateful for their guidance and representation. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a trustworthy and compassionate family law attorney on their side! – Kristin R.
Working with Mr. Bauerle and Victoria was a phenomenal experience. I came to them as a defendant in a long-standing, complex custody dispute that had spanned years under previous counsel. Within just three months of hiring Ryan and his team, the case was successfully resolved in mediation with an outcome that was both in my favor and in the best interests of my children. The moment Ryan took over, the dynamic of the case shifted instantly. The level of professionalism, efficiency, and accountability provided by this firm is truly unmatched. Their work ethic transformed a stagnant, difficult process into a swift victory, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. – Ashley C.
