Thanks for saving my life

I was wrongfully convicted of cocaine trafficking facing 30 to serve 25 years. I was introduced to Scott actually in jail. He told me not to worry an told me what exactly to do. I listened an got the best deal I think anyone could get with my case. Probation.

A great lawyer!

Mr. Drake represented one of my family members last week. He was facing up to 40 years, we are very happy and beyond thankful to be expecting him home by the end of THIS YEAR! He did an outstanding job at representing my relative, and kept us all very well informed. Our family can’t thank him enough,... we are blessed to have had him fighting this case.

BEST LAWYER HANDS DOWN.

Mr. Drake and his team assisted me with one of the most terrifying cases of my life. During this process they have been nothing short of a blessing to me and my family. I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done and with the service he’s provided. Mr. Drake provided us with excellent servi...ce with great professionalism and communication. He always picked up the phone, answered our questions to the best of his ability, and fought long and hard for us as his clients. Given the circumstances of the case, Scott Drake was able to negotiate the deal of a lifetime for us. From 10-15 years in prison down to a 1 year modified work release, we really can’t thank him enough. We’ll forever be thankful for everything he’s done and will recommend him to all our family & friends.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
