BEST LAWYER IN ATLANTA

Scott is the best lawyer ever, after fighting a case for almost 3 year he was able to close my case with a great outcome . He wont sugarcoat anything and will tell you straight up how it is !! He kept me out of jail twice.

Don’t think twice, this is your lawyer!!

After seeing Mr. Drake in the courtroom and hearing good things about him, I decided to hire Mr. Drake on a case that had been on going for the past two years. First time I ever hired a paid attorney. Within about a month of hiring him I was in court and accepting the deal that I needed. Mr.Drake lis...tened to me, showed respect and empathy. Most importantly he got the job done. His experience showed in the courtroom and he is well respected in his community. I would definitely hire him in the future although I’m definitely not planning on ever needing his services again :) Mr. Drake is a great lawyer that will fight for you. He is also a nice guy and down to earth. Don’t pass on Scott Drake. You won’t regret hiring him. Thanks again Scott!

AMAZING LAWYER

Scott is AMAZING!! I have hired him on 2 separate occasions and he has done more for me than I could have done for myself. He is responsive, willing to go the distance (literally, he drove 5+ hours to represent me in court) and his whole team cares about his clients. He answered any questions I had w...ithin a timely manner and helped me get the best possible outcome in both of my cases. He is truly a blessing and has been amazing for me in every aspect. 10/10 recommend him to ANYONE!

Best Lawyer Around

Scott and Tracy are both amazing people and they are the best around! My husband had used them for many years. This time was my first time personally but he got my case thrown out and got straight to the point.

I’ve used Mr.Scott drake one two occasions and both times were better out comes then I ever expected ... His Law firm is very professional with keeping you up to date and relaying messages between each other .. If there were times he wasn’t able to see me he would keep in contact via email so I was p...retty much always up to date .. If trouble comes my way he will be the first person in call .. Again thank you for your services Mr.Drake !!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
