Serious Cycling Accident

I was in America from the UK traveling with a friend. We were doing a charity bike ride coast to coast. As we were on our way through Ohio, we were struck by a motorist. I had 16 broken bones, my ribs were broke in 10 separate places, a shattered wrist, 2 broken vertebra, three different breaks to... my pelvis and clavicle injury. To say I was injured was an understatement. I thought my travel insurance would cover my medical bills and the case as a whole. They refused to help me and I found myself in a hospital bed unable to pay for any of my medical treatment. Luckily, one of the nurses in the operation was part of a local cycling community in the city of Columbus. She knew I was in a bad situation and recommended a lawyer that focused on representing cyclists struck by motorists. I asked her to request a meeting with Mr. Baker. I didn’t know what to do smashed up and no way to pay a very large amount of medical bills. That’s when I first met Drew. He came to visit with me at the hospital on memorial day weekend to talk to me and see how I was. After hearing my story, he wanted to help as much as he could, and he really did. He explained how the process worked and how he could help. He told me that he and his team would take care of everything and to just focus on healing and getting better so you can come back and complete your ride. I thought about this my whole stay in the hospital and afterwards. I did exactly what he said and healed and worked hard to recover so I could get back on my bike again and finish what we started. I kept my part of the deal and The Baker Law group kept theirs. I trusted Mr. Baker even though I had met him to start with for a short period of time, but after everything he did for me, I couldn’t thank him enough because he lifted a heavy load and let me focus on getting better. After the therapy and operations I was flown back to the UK where I finished my therapy and get back on my bike. I was in contact with Drew as he worked on my case. We set a date to finish the case by which was pretty much the time it took me to get back to return to America and finish my charity bike ride. It happened. We finished the ride. I was told by all of my doctors I healed very quickly and they were surprised of my progress. So if people ask me would you recommend Drew and his exceptional team I would every time say you would be silly not to.

An experienced and professional lawyer

Drew and his staff are extremely professional, and more importantly very personable. Drew represented me at a very tough point in my life, he never judged me and always did his best to make me feel comfortable. "Recover with us," is more that just a statement, it is something his firm lives by. ...As someone who is naturally inquisitive and likes to understand how everything works, Drew was so thorough that I didn't find myself asking a lot of questions or wondering what was going on. When I did have questions he was always quick to respond. I think its important to note that I had a favorable outcome in my OVI case despite an uphill battle, and that was in large part due to Drew's experience, strategy, and ability to work with people. At the end of the day I would wholeheartedly refer Drew to anyone who needed his services.

A Truly Remarkable Experience

Drew Baker is truly an amazing attorney and counselor. Drew was focused not only on every aspect of my personal injury claim, but he took a genuine interest in my personal recovery and well-being. I received timely updates from Drew and his professional staff and felt at ease due to Drew's deep und...erstanding of the law and possible outcomes for my case. Drew's keen negotiating skills helped me obtain a highly favorable result for my personal injury case and property damage claim. Not only would I engage Drew for any future issues I may have, I will highly recommend him to anyone else who needs assistance in his areas of expertise.

Accident to Justice

I broke my hip on a public establishment's wet floor. Mr. Baker handled all my legal rights through a very well planned out lengthy trial and mediations. His cross examinations , witness statements, and objections were superb as his summation. All times I felt cared for and taken care of by one of... the best lawyers I could have picked to represent me. His knowledge of these kinds of court proceedings "blew me away." At no time did I feel that justice wasn't going to be in my favor.

Client x 2

I was referred to Drew by my divorce attorney after getting stopped for an OVI. Drew was amazing. He was very honest with me about possible results and fought my case like it was his only one. His rapport with the prosecutor, the judge and the staff was very professional. Drew is a brilliant atto...rney!
