Drew’s practice centers on the intersection of science and law. He holds a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience and a master’s degree in experimental psychology and before becoming an attorney, he spent several years engaged in academic research in the areas of psychology and neuroscience with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital & Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati Departments of Psychology, Biology, and Neurology. Drew has published multiple peer-reviewed journal articles and presented at national conferences, including the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting.

Before joining PRWK, Drew litigated multi-party product liability actions involving medical devices and pharmaceuticals, commercial transportation and aviation cases, and complex medical injury lawsuits. In those cases, he managed extensive discovery, performed legal and scientific research, and drafted numerous complex motions, including pre-answer motions to dismiss, discovery motions, summary judgment motions, and motions to exclude the opinions of expert witnesses. Drew also regularly consults in traumatic brain injury and other complex medical injury claims, where he analyzes medical records and other claim materials to advise regarding case strategy. His unique background and experience allows him to understand, identify, and utilize the complex medical, scientific, and technical issues involved in his cases to most effectively advocate for his clients.
