Jerry is the person you want in your corner!

Jerry Baker is a skilled attorney that knows the law and isn't afraid or too proud to lean on the expertise of those that came before him in his profession. But beyond that he has something that a lot of attorneys are missing and that is compassion. He went into the legal field for the right reasons ...and deeply cares about the cases he takes on and the humans behind the issues he is fighting for. If you want someone in your corner that won't sugarcoat things and will give it to you straight, while fighting for you every step of the way, then Jerry is your guy! Jerry took on my case after another attorney had already irreparably damaged it. He did everything he could to repair the damage done by the prior attorney. He was in constant contact with me and kept me apprised of all updates with my case. He also gave me very realistic expectations during every step of the process. While the process of being involved in litigation in anything but pleasurable, having Jerry representing me made it bearable. Highly recommend.

A big help post accident

After a pretty nasty carr accident I foolishly believed I could handle the insurance claim myself. As it happens, I was pretty clueless about how to even document the injuries well enough to even get the other driver's insurance company to pay my medical bills. Jerry stepped in and handled everything..., and managed to get me a settlement that I was happy with and that caused minimal stress to my family. I have consulted with him on a couple of issues since then and would definitely trust him in another personal injury matter.

Smart and tenacious

Very good experience! Jerry was super helpful right from the first phone call and all the way through my case. He communicated clearly and promptly with me at all times and delivered what he promised. I've recommended him to several friends.

Excellent experience

Jerry helped me in what turned out to be a very simple legal issue for him to untangle. I simply could not manage it on my own. He managed to help me keep from being screwed out of money that I was legally entitled to. In the end, he did not even charge me for the assistance. Just helped for free. I... would absolutely trust him to do the right thing.

"I endorse Jerry. He is a hard working lawyer with an eye to detail and working a case harder than the defense, and he genuinely cares about getting his clients the outcome the law says they are entitled to. He's an enthusiastic advocate and works at finding creative solutions to client problems. He brings to the practice of personal injury law the right balance of empathy for injured clients and a willingness to fight the insurance companies who too often make recovery from injuries so difficult. Many lawyers are dedicated, but few are as dedicated and passionate as Jerry."
