Great Lawyer

I had a felony case in which, I had to reach out to Scott Drake about and had also had a bench warrant served for me, because of me having no knowledge of my court proceedings. When Drake was retained by me, he wasted no time getting the bench warrant recalled and made sure I understood the process g...oing forward. Despite the district attorney offering me two serve years because of my offense, He was was able to negotiate me serving the time on probation which I was very happy about.

Efficient, no hassle, satisfactory results

Was able to have my DUI case reduced to wreckless driving, which is exactly what I wanted. No games, no fuss, desired results. Recommended.

Scott Drake saved my son

Mr Drake took my son's case at a very fustrating time during my son's time in jail. After months of getting no where, including several set backs, and nothing accomplished with very few options at hand, Mr. Drake was willing to work with us and take my son's case. He did everything he could to make s...ure my son's voice and concerns where heard, and pushed his case forward, much faster than our previous experience with a public defender. Mr. Drake was able to spare my son being sent to prison, provided solid legal advise, and through his dedication and determation it ultimately resulted in my son receiving the fairest sentence possible. Thank you Mr. Drake for taking my son's case and working hard to make sure he received the best deal possible. If you are looking for a straight shooter lawyer that will represent you well, Mr. Scott Drake is the one. Thank you Mr. Drake!

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.
