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.

Scott Drake - literally save my son from Prison...

Scott Drake is an outstanding attorney. He is smart, articulate, knows the law and court system. But what makes Scott rise above the rest is that he genuinely cares about his clients and their families. When my son got in trouble with the law the only piece of mind I had was knowing that Scott was re...presenting him. Scott literally saved my son from going to prison and for this I will forever be grateful. If you or your loved one is in need of a criminal attorney hire Scott Drake!!! He and his team will be there for you every step of the way. Spoken from a Mother's heart.

HANDS DOWN THE #1 ATTORNEY IN GWINNETT

I watched in awe as this wizard of the court room made light work of my case and convinced my jury to return a swift and concise NOT GUILTY verdict. Thanks to Scott I was able to walk out of the court with my head high knowing that the rumours of his excellence had just come to fruition in front of... my eyes as he masterfully won me my freedom. If you are so lucky to call Scott your attorney then take a deep breath and try to relax because chances are it's all going to be ok. The nature of charges and the evidence against me could have very easily gone the other way in my case, but Scott told me to trust him and let him be the lawyer! I did just that and now I'm writing this review on my own accord, in the sun, with a cold beverage, rather then the confides of a cell. Scott you are unequivocally the smartest guy in the room! Thanks man. Thanks!

NO ONE BETTER

Couldn't have wanted anyone more professional & personable than Drake Scott. I've recommended him to family & frnds ranging from big & serious to small & minor cases. He's honest & more than fair in cost. He's not just a/my lawyer. He's a frnd.
