Baird Law Group represented me

I cannot say enough of how completely professional and aggressive Cory Baird was in taking on and finishing my case. He was able to cut through the red tape and slow moving legal process to tackle a large insurance organization and settle things in both record time and record settlement amount.... I am not an easy person to please yet I found myself highly impressed with him and his firm. I definitely recommend Baird Law Group. Glen Howell

One of the BEST!

I rarely right reviews, but in this case it warrants a 5 star review. One word to describe Cory...EXCELLENT! I did an extensive research before I chose The Baird Law Group and after reading reviews on all websites and reading about Cory's stellar credentials, I decided he was going to represent me af...ter my nasty accident. I was very impressed that any time I needed to talk to him, he would be there or return my call within the hour. He took the time to explain all my options and what the process would be. He also got me some of the best therapy and doctors out there. Cory got me the maximum amount that he could and wrapped my entire case up within a year. I would also like to mention his legal assistant Courtney, who is extremely friendly and helpful. If you are looking for one of the TOP attorney's in the Tampa Bay Area, I HIGHLY recommend The Baird Law Group. Cory WILL be my attorney should I ever have another accident.

Handled professionally and thoroughly

I was involved in an auto accident. BLG was referred to me by a third party. They handled my case professionally and thoroughly. I would recommend them and use them again should the need arise.

A FINE HUMAN BEING AND EXCELLENT LAWYER

I am very pleased with the services that Mr. Baird and his very attentive assistant, Courtney, provided to me due to a car accident this past March. Being new to Florida and local resources, he was referred to us by a respected neighbor. From the initial phone consult to every personal update call..., I felt at ease and not worried about the outcome. His kind manners make It even feel most appropriate to call him Cory! He kept me well informed at each stage of his procedures, verified my medical care was proceeding as expected and worked to settle the case very quickly. Without any doubt, I highly recommend Cory Alan Baird and his firm.

"I endorse this lawyer. Having co-counseled a few cases with Cory, I can attest to not only has skills as a litigator, but also his amazing passion for helping his clients. He maintains a terrific balance of taking the time to keep his clients updated and constantly learning about any and all changes to his field of practice. I think that best endorsement that I can give to Cory Baird is the fact that I have trusted him to represent my family members and he has never dissapointed. Referrals should never be taken lightly, but I strongly encourage any attorney to rest assured that your clients are in very good hands should you refer them to the Baird Law Group for an injury case."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
