Licensed throughout Florida he has maintained an AV® rating from Martindale-Hubbell for 25 years, reflecting peer recognition of his preeminent skill and integrity. A long-time member of The Florida Bar, the Florida Justice Association, and the Tampa Bay Trial Lawyers Association, Brian previously chaired ethics committees at both the Florida Bar and the St. Petersburg Bar Association.

For over a decade, Brian Barker has been our go-to attorney when someone in the family has been in a car accident. Brian has handled every case with absolute professionalism, integrity, and an unmatched dedication. What sets Brian apart is not just his legal skill (though he is exceptional at maximizing settlements while never cutting corners), but his genuine kindness and personal touch. He remembers the little details about our lives, checks in long after the case is closed, and treats us like people, not file numbers. He's truly become part of our family’s support network. When my stepson got his driver’s license, “Mr. Barker-Car Accident Lawyer" was added to his contact list because I know without hesitation that if anything ever happens, Brian will be there with the same calm strength, honesty, and fierce advocacy he’s shown us for years. Brian is the rare attorney who is both relentlessly trustworthy and reliably responsive. We trust him completely!
The Baker Firm is truly exceptional. I worked with Mr. Baker for two separate car accidents, and he consistently maintained clear and prompt communication throughout the entire process. He advocated for me every step of the way and ensured I was always informed. I will continue to choose The Baker Firm for any future legal needs.
Brian is top notch. He helped me when I was in real trouble (health emergency) out of a bad car accident in 2019. He dug in fighting for me to have the necessary surgery to keep me from being permanently disabled. Brian is very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. I trust no other attorney to handle my claims except for Brian.
Brian Barker is the real deal. He is concise, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent me after my car accident. I will recommend him to anyone I know- I can’t thank you enough, Brian!
Brian did an outstanding job handling my auto accident claim. He dealt with all aspects/persons of my claim in a professional and compassionate manner. My car was broadsided by a red light runner. My car was pushed across three lanes of traffic. I had shoulder injuries, four herniated disks and numerous bruises , cuts etc. I had complete confidence in Brain. I am very satisfied with my claim settlement. I highly recommend Brian if you need someone to handle your auto accident claim.

His assistant Lori is very kind, supportive and very responsive to your needs and questions. They make a fabulous team! The Barker Law Firm is the only place you should be calling for legal representation for personal injuries.
Wise, caring, timely, and steadfast! Brian L. Barker gets it done and takes care of his clients. Both Brian and his assistant Laurie remain in your corner even after the case closes. Always available to communicate. Zero stress or worry needed!
