Legal assistance after a car accident

Niomi was incredible to work with after I was involved in a car accident. She was highly knowledgeable and trustworthy and genuinely cared about my well-being. She kept me informed every step of the way, making an extremely challenging experience so much easier. Beyond being a great lawyer, she’s an ...even better person—compassionate, personable, and truly dedicated to her clients. I can't recommend her enough. Niomi is amazing!!!!

Car Accident

After my car accident I went through an extremely rough patch in life where I continued to make very poor choices. However, Niomi Drake never gave up on me or my case. She went the extra mile to ensure I received what I deserved and and always kept my best interest in mind. I would recommend her to a...nyone!!!

I couldn't have asked for better representation!

Quite simply, Niomi goes where others are afraid to tread. I was injured while on vacation in Seattle. I knew that it was a preventable injury and negligent on their part but, after making 2-3 calls when I returned home to Chicago, I felt pretty defeated because others seemed to think it was no big d...eal. Being hurt so far from home, with no one to help felt bad. Getting home and realizing no one seemed to care about the damage done was worse. Then, I came across Niomi Drake's information. I reached out, and even in the midst of peak Covid lockdowns/work from home time, she didn't rush me through explanations, or push me off onto an assistant. She listened to me but, more importantly, she heard me. Every step of the way, she explained what was happening, and continued to touch base with me to make sure I knew I wasn't alone and that she had my back, even from 2000+ miles & 2 time zones away. Niomi was upfront and honest, good or bad, through the whole process. She asked me to trust her to make this right and I never once regretted doing so. 1 year, start to finish. Where others said I shouldn't bother, or that it wasn't worth it, Niomi stood up for me. She bothered. She cared. She made sure the persons who hurt me knew I & my situation were worth it, and then some. After the settlement she even offered advice on how to find help regarding my financial settlement. Several months later, she still checks in time time to say hi. I'd recommend anyone that needs someone to fight for them with empathy, compassion, and a little bit of "take no prisoners" thrown in, call Niomi Drake. It'll be the best thing for you and your case.

Personal injury lawyer | Jun 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have tried and arbitrated cases with Niomi. I have referred cases to Niomi. And I have no hesitation in saying that she is one of most brilliant young attorneys I have ever worked with. She is not only an accomplished trial lawyer, but a great human being, known both for her advocacy in the courtroom as well as her tireless pro bono and volunteer work outside. Already at a young age, she has recovered huge verdicts and settlements that seasoned attorneys would envy. Despite her success, she remains humble and delightfully "down to earth." She is truly a model all young up and coming attorney should aspire to be. I endorse her in the strongest terms possible."
