My savior

I can’t begin to thank Scott Drake for all the hard work and time he spent working my case. He got me the best possible option for my case and also was able to get me out of work release to be there for the birth of my daughter. Grateful is an understatement for the work this man has done for me. He ...has gone to extra lengths to make things happen for me. I would recommend him as a lawyer to anyone needing help.

Best Attorney you could ask for

Scott Drake went above and beyond for me to help me with my possession case. He was able to work with the judge to get my fine reduced and allow me to move forward without having a felony record. Would recommend to friends and family. 10/10

A GIANT IN THE COURT ROOM

I've been using Scott for several years now and not once has he let me down... He beat 4 DUI cases for me and I o ly walked out with a fine and no Dui on my record. He got a bad plea taken back for me and when I was retried the case was dismissed.. He saved my wife from a six month sentence to o ...ly recieve a traffic charge and a small fine.. He pitches it to you straight with no bull and when you walk into court with him everybody listens to his words and some how the judge smiles... Hands down the best lawyer ever....

Awesome

Mr. Drake is an awesome lawyer. He took out time to talk with me about my son's case. He answered every email and never left me feeling hopeless! He has compassion and understanding which is always a plus. He will fight for you with all he has! Thank you Mr. Drake you are AWESOME!

The Best

Scott A. Drake was appointed to me in Gwinnett Co. I never heard good things about a court appointed Lawyer, they have so many cases and there goal is to get your case over with as soon as possible hell there really not getting paid for it but every lawyer has to go through this. But this man went ab...ove and beyond for me it took 3 years to get the DA to drop my case they wanted me to take a plea but that was not going to happen he is very thorough and a detailed Lawyer. I recommend him with 5 Stars.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
