About Blake Bauer

Blake Bauer started his legal career while still in law school as the Judicial Law Clerk for Judge Joanne Smith in Ramsey County Minnesota. While working as a law clerk, Blake handled thousands of cases and several jury trials, providing him with courtroom and trial skills. After several years of working for the government, Blake joined Marso and Michelson, P.A. and quickly became the managing partner of the firm.

At Marso and Michelson, Blake represented consumers who had trouble paying their bills, typically their medical and credit card debts. He defended hundreds of state court lawsuits for consumers and brought Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) claims on behalf of clients in Federal Court against harassing third-party debt collectors. Blake has always enjoyed practicing law in this area because he can make a real difference in his clients’ lives, and helps them in their time of need.

In 2017 Blake joined Fields Law Firm, bringing the Marso and Michaelson Consumer Law clients with him. This move was a perfect fit because the two firms focus on areas of law that are dedicated to helping people in need. In fact, Blake has dedicated his entire career to helping individuals who are dealing with life’s unanticipated circumstances. Blake understands and appreciates the struggles people experience when they are unable to work, and knows how crippling it can be emotionally, financially, and physically to not be able to support your family.

At Fields Law Firm, Blake focuses his practice on representing individuals with work injuries, disability claims, and credit reporting inaccuracies nationwide. He has achieved great success for his clients fighting against both the biggest insurance companies and the major credit reporting agencies. Blake has proven to be a fierce litigator that gets results for his clients. Blake’s goal is to help his clients get back to as close to 100% as possible while pursuing the maximum recovery for his clients' claims.

Blake was selected as a Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Blake has lived in the Twin Cities area his entire life. He played basketball at Saint John’s University and graduated cum laude with a double major in political science and psychology. Blake went on to study law at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Blake excelled at William Mitchell, academically ranking in the top tier of his class, he was on the William Mitchell Law Review as both a Staff Member and as an Editor, and obtained a full time law clerk position for a Judge in Ramsey County, Minnesota while completing his Juris Doctorate.

Mr. Bauer is admitted to practice in the Minnesota state courts, United States Bankruptcy Court of Minnesota, and the United States District Court of Minnesota, the Northern District of Texas, the Eastern District of Michigan, and the Eastern District of Tennessee.

In his free time, Blake enjoys spending time with his wife and two young boys, fishing, playing golf, going to the Minnesota’s Brainerd Lakes Area, and coaching youth basketball teams.

He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. His dedication and expertise gave me peace of mind and resulted in a successful outcome. I highly recommend Blake to anyone who needs a trustworthy and compassionate Workers’ Comp attorney!

I was fortunate to have found an excellent lawyer when I went with Blake Bauer of Fields Law Firm. He was readily accessible to me by phone, email, and text. He answered my questions and kept me apprised of each step he was taking to ready my case. Whenever there was a decision to be made, Blake explained the situation and options in words I could understand so I could make a fully informed decision. When a ruling was made against us, we discussed our options and upon mutual agreement he appealed the ruling. He worked hard and won the appeals case. I was awarded long-term disability benefits. Blake ensured I had a positive outcome and thanked me for the opportunity to serve me. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs an attorney to litigate a long-term disability claim.

Firm was very easy to work with. They started working the case before they the phase of settlement even begun. Meaning they helped me at a critical time to submit all records without a guarantee they get any paymemt. Other firms just couldn't get on board until the next stage of denials which meant having to start along and a risk of not being prepared at the next stage and having a weak case. Fields did not let that happen. They swiftly got documents together, contacted all needed parties and on a fast time frame. Blake took over the case midway and treated it like it was his own. They charged a few percent less than others which was also nice. They reached out to me to keep the case moving. I wouldn't use anyone else! But hopefully never have to go through fighting disability insurance claims again.

Blake and his team always took the time to answer any and all questions I had, always explained all the steps that needed to happen and was going to be happening. I can not imagine having to go through by myself. Highly recommend.

Blake Bauer and his entire team at Fields Law Firm represented me in a credit reporting case. I was blown away with the level of service and the end results. They were able to settle my cases against the three credit reporting agency and a mortgage company who continued to report derogatory information about my discharged chapter 13 bankruptcy. I would definitely recommend them to all of my family and friends. They are the best and get results.

Blake Bauer was a tremendous help. He was communicative and knowledgeable. I provided the information needed and he won the case. When I did have questions, his response times were quick and efficient. He was able to maximize my outcome and got me paid for my injuries sooner than I initially thought. Professional yet compassionate guy here! I think no matter the case, he will win!

Three years ago, my husband suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed and disabled. His long-term disability claim was denied, with the reason being that the stroke was linked to pre-existing conditions, even though strokes can occur due to numerous factors. I decided to appeal and contacted several law firms, but none were willing to take the case, stating that we wouldn’t succeed if the claim was denied for pre-existing conditions. However, Fields Law Firm stood by us and fought tirelessly on our behalf. Thanks to their efforts, and with special gratitude to Blake Bauer, we were able to secure compensation. Thank you, Blake and Fields Law Firm, for making it possible!

Hired Fields Law firm and they successfully represented me in a dispute with a Long Term Disability (LTD) Insurance claim. I would highly recommend using them and would advise others the same verse attempting to navigate the process themselves.
