It's time for something different; a fresh and innovative approach to personal injury law. When you walk in our lobby, you'll see the quote, "The most dangerous phrase in any language is we've always done it this way.". Communication is at the forefront of our operation. The number one complaint about lawyers across the profession is a lack of communication between attorney and client during the course of representation. Many personal injury firms assign "case managers" or other administrative staff to handle cases and field client calls. I assure you this is NOT the case at the Baker Law Group. As a boutique firm, our team is strong and well informed. You will speak to an attorney when you have questions regarding your case.. Insurance companies are more than willing to accept your premium every month. However, when you file a claim for fair and reasonable compensation, full cooperation is rare at best. Tort reform, caps on jury verdicts and keeping you out of the courtroom are the mechanisms insurance companies use to reduce the bottom line. They also spending countless sums of money on advertising for a product you are legally required to purchase if you choose to drive in the State of Ohio. For them, it's just business. For you, it is a serious disruption in your quality of life.. We are a low volume firm. Personal attention to our clients and their cases matter. Stretching resources results in an overall reduction in quality leading to diminished outcomes. We are a boutique operation for a reason; quality over quantity produces the best results. Read our reviews, they speak for themselves.. Our results are recovery driven. Our approach is not limited to physical injuries, but also the mental and financial difficulties that stem from accident related injuries and challenges.. I very much look forward to meeting with you and reviewing your case. At The Baker Law Group, gone are the days of allowing the insurance companies defining the process in which our clients are compensated.. Andrew S. Baker, Managing Partner
