Drew is an experienced trial lawyer specializing in catastrophic personal injury, defective products, and chemical exposures. Drew has litigated these issues in 15 states.

Drew is one of the only trial lawyers in the country to have secured a seven-figure verdict, an eight-figure verdict, and a nine-figure verdict, all before the age of 40. He holds the record verdict in Rabun County (GA), the record verdict in Lowndes County (GA), and the largest pain and suffering verdict in Georgia history. He holds the 7th largest premises liability verdict in the Southeast in 2019, the 8th largest vehicle crash verdict in the Southeast in 2020, and the largest verdict in any product liability or wrongful death case in Georgia in 2021.

Drew has a special expertise in cases involving defective products of all kinds, including automobiles, aerial lifts and cranes, ATVs, boats, industrial equipment, and a variety of consumer and household products. To date, manufacturers have issued four separate nationwide recalls as a result of his work in cases; most of which were issued in almost unprecedented fashion – in the middle of litigation.


In addition to these areas, Drew has attained substantial verdicts and settlements in cases involving trucking collisions, auto crashes, complex multi-vehicle pileups, industrial injuries, and foodborne illness cases. Drew’s work has resulted in three eight-figure awards, and dozens of seven-figure awards for his clients.

Drew is also recognized as an expert in e-Discovery. He graduated from the renowned Georgetown e-Discovery Academy, has attended the Advanced e-Discovery Institute, and has been asked to speak all over the country on e-Discovery topics. Drew planned, organized, hosted, and taught at the first ever e-Discovery conference for trial lawyers.

Most of Drew’s work comes from other attorneys who refer him cases that are difficult and often require dedicated focus over several years. Drew takes special pride in taking cases that other law firms have turned down, and helping those families get the justice and accountability that they deserve.
