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.

Scott Drake is a GREAT lawyer

I hired Scott Drake to help me with an ongoing situation that several other lawyers were unable to untangle. Scott quickly determined the issue, worked with the right people and speedily got me through the process. He is an expert at the law and extremely good at what he does. I would recommend him t...o anyone. I can now move on with my life and no longer have to worry about my future.
