Thank you for helping my grandson

Scott was responsive when I asked him about about my Grandson's situation. His staff was professional and helpful while we were waiting for trial. He is out now due to the Scott's ability to achieve fairness for him.

Very Good Criminal Defense Lawyer

Mr Drake, help my son who had a parole violation. He was able to help him get out of jail in a very reasonable timeframe (90 days), better than I had expected, due to how longer my son was in violation. Also when issues came up after the judges ruling where the paper work was not handled correctly he... was able to get the judge to resend an updated order correcting the mistake. Mr Drake is a great attorney to work with!

Criminal Case

Mr. Drake provided solid counsel for my son who was facing several felonies related to a mental health episode and an encounter with the numerous police officers. He provided good advice and perspective from both sides as to the potential outcomes and strengths/weaknesses of the case. He was respon...sive, albeit very busy with other cases. Although we had hoped for a better resolution, the resolution negotiated by Mr. Drake was reasonable and kept my son out of prison. We are grateful for his counsel and happy this phase is over.

Saved my life

Mr.Drake absolutely saved my life! Outside of my lord and savior I couldn’t have did it without Mr.Drake. I was facing 7 violent felonies and we took it to trial. Mr.Drake told me I’m lookin at a maximum of 110 years. Mr.Drake is an amazing guy, he seen I was running low on suit and gave me one of hi...s OWN! He put on a show for the jury, and I was found not guilty within 2 hours of jury deliberation. There won’t be a next time but if I just do happen to get caught up in something because I haven’t learned my lesson then Scott Drake is gettin the first phone call!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
