Mastery and Accomplishment in Action

Mr. Drake is exceptional in criminal defense cases. He was very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning my defense strategy. Watching him in court was like watching mastery and accomplishment in action. Mr. Drake thoroughly reviewed al...l the evidence in my case and formulated a remarkable strategy that ultimately led to my victory in court. His preparation was exhaustive. He answered my many questions with patience and very promptly. Mr. Drake visited me while I was still in holding at the detention center. This gave me peace of mind and a feeling of encouragement. Thanks to Mr Drake I wasn’t held very long at all for a “no bond” situation. He worked tirelessly to arrange for my prompt release. His staff was also courteous and quick in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly appreciative for their services.  I highly recommend Scott Drake as an attorney. Worth every single penny!

Extraordinary!

First of all, don't even hesitate, retain Scott Drake. He is thee best lawyer in Gwinnett County. My story: Before this year, I had never known anyone that had spent any time in jail. This year 2 close friends were looking at long-term sentences in prison. It's an unbelievably frightening ex...perience for everyone. We asked several people to suggest the best attorney and one name kept coming up… Scott Drake I'm writing this still in disbelief that he was able to help both of my friends, one who was looking at 25 years. No one ever wants to have to go through the justice system, especially in Gwinnett, but if you're facing what seems like overwhelming odds, Scott Drake is who you need. We thank God every day for him
