Best Lawyer in Georgia

I had an attorney that mishandled my case and I was reluctant to try any attorney. I went with Scott and it was the best choice I ever made. Scott and his staff are the most professional and caring people I have ever met. I will refer Scott to anyone that wants the best, most professional lawyer that... anyone could ever wish for. If I ever need legal help, Scott is the only lawyer I will talk to.

FELONY CHARGED DISMISSED!

It was the perfect recipe for disaster. . . 24 grams of Bubba Kush. . . 1 Weight Scale 1 Sharpie A Reported Stolen Vehicle with Tags EXPIRED! Prosecutor didn't even put up a fight! Scott Drake is an Alpha and the system knows it. He has Laser Beam Focus, an attitude like a Lion, and he h...as a great sense of humor! Everyone was left with their mouths open when the judge said Case Dismissed. YOU NEED THIS!

Best Attorney you could ask for

Scott Drake went above and beyond for me to help me with my possession case. He was able to work with the judge to get my fine reduced and allow me to move forward without having a felony record. Would recommend to friends and family. 10/10

A GIANT IN THE COURT ROOM

I've been using Scott for several years now and not once has he let me down... He beat 4 DUI cases for me and I o ly walked out with a fine and no Dui on my record. He got a bad plea taken back for me and when I was retried the case was dismissed.. He saved my wife from a six month sentence to o ...ly recieve a traffic charge and a small fine.. He pitches it to you straight with no bull and when you walk into court with him everybody listens to his words and some how the judge smiles... Hands down the best lawyer ever....

The greatest!

I hired Scott Drake a few months ago on a aggravated assault charge, to say the least, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you Scott Drake.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
