awesome
Mr. Drake is wonderful! He was worth the money. He made sure to keep me informed with the daily running around and getting a good result. Without his expert knowledge it would have so so much worse. Plus he always returned phonecalls! Thank you again and again!

Don’t hire this attorney
He showed no interest. Convinced me to take a ridiculous plea and told me I would only do about 1 year since I didn’t have a record and I done 4 years and just recently coming home. I guess he only fight for certain cases. So basically if you don’t want to do a lot of time don’t hire him.

Replied last February 27, 2020While we strive to get the best results possible for our clients sometimes a plea is the best option, because the effect of a conviction after trial is often times punishment that is more severe than that offered for a plea. Because this reviewer chose to post anonymously I cannot respond with any further detail other than to say the choice to plea or go to trial is always the client's not the lawyers.

Best criminal defense lawyer in georgia!
Scott Drake used his knowledge of law coupled with determined effort to help me be with my family for the holidays, as the situation was calling strongly for otherwise.
