John W. Drake

Attorney John Drake was court appointed to me as a defense attorney when I was falsely accused of some very serious crimes in summer of 2012. He remained calm and steadfast through the whole nightmare of a process. He helped me keep my head on straight, explaining to me the ins and outs of what was h...appening with the case. Though it was hard to listen sometimes, his advice to me was sound: we just have to wait, and the truth will come out. At times I was frustrated with the lack of movement in the case and nagged him to do more for me. I see now that this was not laziness on his part, but wisdom that comes from his years of experience in law. He was honest and very up front with me from day one. Slow and steady sometimes does win the race and I am thankful that Attorney Drake was my lawyer (and that the allegations were finally proven to be false and that I am free of this absurd nightmare!).
