I would highly recommend Scott Drake without reservations!

I've found Mr. Drake to be honest and straight forwarded in his approach to his work. He has demonstrated a high degree of loyalty and trustworthiness to his work as a criminal defense attorney. He has carried out his obligations with vigor and resolved the case in a timely manner. He believes in gi...ving an honest day's work for his clients for a honest day's pay. I am pleased. Thank you so much, Mr. Drake.

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. He was almost always available via phone. Also, in hiring Scott Drake came the backing of his law firm, which includes other powerf...ul attorneys and a helpful paralegal.

Criminal Defense Attorney You Want On Your Side!

Mr. Drake was nothing short of amazing. We've hired him a few times now for different cases and he's always pulled through with great results. He makes himself available for contact very often, and his staff and partners were incredibly helpful. I would definitely hire him again if I would need an cr...iminal defense attorney, but hopefully that won't be the case. I recommend him.

A Godsend

If there was ever a time where God showed me that He was present with me, it was when I acquired 'Scott Drake as my legal counsel. As someone who previously had never been in any trouble with the law, a random occurrence one day threatened to change the trajectory of my life forever. I was arrested f...or the first time and suddenly had two serious misdemeanor charges pressed against me that could've been tried as felonies. So, I initially experienced a lot of unease about the prospect of my situation and wasn't fully assured its outcome would end in my favor. However, after I gained Scott as my legal representation, and as we met periodically to discussed the particulars of my case, my confidence grew. Scott is direct and doesn't specialize in selling dreams. I really appreciated that about him. He told me the truth of what I was facing and always made sure that I understood what my options were. He was very knowledgeable of the laws surrounding my charges and at no time did I ever feel that he wasn't prepared to defend me. In my situation, I was actually the victim but the State's Prosecution treated me like I was a criminal. It felt good to know that Scott believed in my innocence from the beginning. I'm sure that made it much easier for him to fight on my behalf. There are a number of great things that I could say about Scott, but his desire to help people is his greatest quality. He did just that for me and I would quickly recommend him to anyone in need of an efficient and competent Defense Attorney.

Excellent

Attorney Drake represented me on a case that was complicated. He was very straight foward and was able to get several charges dropped resulting in the shortest sentence possible. This attorney never judged me or disrespected me. He is hands down the most impressive attorney I have ever come across. I... highly recommend Scott Drake.
