Got me what I wanted

I was charged with DUI, speeding (19 mph) and open container. Scott Drake brought all that down to just Reckless Driving. Thanks to Scott Drake being my attorney, I was able to have peace-of-mind everyday. I knew that Scott Drake had my best interest in mind. He is a wonderful attorney to have on you...r side.

The best guy for your money

Scott Drake is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He always takes your calls or gets back to you promptly and he gets the absolute best results you could ask for. I had 2 shoplifting charges come up together; he got one totally dropped and got me credit for 30 days time served on the other char...ge with NO probation afterwards. I would absolutely hire him if I ever have any future issues. Definitely a great guy.

An Excellent Attorney

I have used Mr. Drake for many years. He has always done great for me and my cases. I had 3 shopliftings on my record since 1998. Well I got arrested for a petty misdemeanor shoplifting and the state turned it into a felony. After your fourth conviction you are now charged with a felony and are to do... no less than 1 year and no more than ten. The state was offfering me 3 years. Scott went to the county to where I got my first 2 shoplifting charges and filed for me to use "retroactive first offender status." And he won. The state had to drop it back to a misdemeanor because I was then not considered a "repeat offender." He is a legal genius in the eyes of my family. If you want a Fire and Brimstone attorney to fight for you, call Mr. Drake.

  • 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.
