The Best

Scott A. Drake was appointed to me in Gwinnett Co. I never heard good things about a court appointed Lawyer, they have so many cases and there goal is to get your case over with as soon as possible hell there really not getting paid for it but every lawyer has to go through this. But this man went ab...ove and beyond for me it took 3 years to get the DA to drop my case they wanted me to take a plea but that was not going to happen he is very thorough and a detailed Lawyer. I recommend him with 5 Stars.

GREAT LAWYER

Scott Drake is an awesome attorney! My son and I, was blessed to have Mr. Drake on our side. He answered all of my questions, Kept me informed when neeuded, answered about a hundred emails, and never let me down. I am HAPPY to write a review for such a hands on lawyer that will absolutely try his bes...t to represent his clients. I believe in my heart that there aren't many lawyers like Scott Drake any more. He went over and beyond to represent my son in a criminal trial. My son was set free because of the commitment Mr. Drake gave day after day, week after week, month after month. And FINALLY!!! NOT GUILTY!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! THANK YOU, SCOTT DRAKE FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE. AND THANK YOU FOR TREATING US MORE LIKE FAMILY THAN JUST CLIENTS. GOD BLESS!

Eloquent

Scott A. Drake is a person of understanding and knows the system of justices. When he speaks people listen. I Robert D. Blackmon saw Scott in action in the courtroom representing my daughter in a jury trial and I am so glad I chose him. He is the person I would have representing me because I have se...en his skills as a lawyer. Scott has rhetoric in the courtroom.

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.
