Absolutely the best !!!!
Scott has been there for me twice. Once I was not he best citizen I should have been and the 2nd time I had nothing to do with the situation. Both times I was treated with respect and kindness. He is very professional and extremely competent. Also a very sharp dresser.

Horrible Attorney report to GA BAR
Horrible Attorney! Have filed a grievance with bar association Mr. Drake has a very dangerous legal defense for his clients, “WAIT UNITL YOU ARE INDICTED” is what he will tell you. He will take your money and do NOTHING. You will sit in jail without any communication from him. He will not visit no...
While we always strive to obtain the best results for our clients, sometimes those results take longer than we would like. When dealing with serious felony charges involving allegations of a drive by shooting with multiple victims, some of whom were children, and a similar allegation from the city of Atlanta, it is unfortunate but not surprising that bond was denied twice. In response to your allegation that nothing was done I personally met with your loved one 3 separate times in the 3 month period of his confinement, conducted a preliminary hearing and bond hearing and another separate bond hearing. I would add that our efforts on the case lead directly to some of the allegations of aggravated assault being dismissed. Further we took great pains to take your many phone calls and made myself available for conferences, text messages and emails to answer your many questions and concerns. We are sorry your loved one did not contact our office if he was confused. I would again note that in the 3 months this client has been detained I personally visited him at the jail 3 separate times. Apparently he had no problem contacting you, and all our clients are welcome to contact us via telephone as well as collect emails from the facility are always accepted and responded to promptly. We, as is our normal course of business, have provided a full accounting of all work performed in the case and have returned the unused portion of the retainer to you via certified mail. We wish you and your loved one the best of luck going forward with this case. Our hearts go out to you and your family and all those who are unjustly detained on unproven allegations. In the immortal words of the late great Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt."

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...
