Absolutely the best !!!!

Scott has been there for me twice. Once I was not he best citizen I should have been and the 2nd time I had nothing to do with the situation. Both times I was treated with respect and kindness. He is very professional and extremely competent. Also a very sharp dresser.

Thank you for helping my grandson

Scott was responsive when I asked him about about my Grandson's situation. His staff was professional and helpful while we were waiting for trial. He is out now due to the Scott's ability to achieve fairness for him.

Very Good Criminal Defense Lawyer

Mr Drake, help my son who had a parole violation. He was able to help him get out of jail in a very reasonable timeframe (90 days), better than I had expected, due to how longer my son was in violation. Also when issues came up after the judges ruling where the paper work was not handled correctly he... was able to get the judge to resend an updated order correcting the mistake. Mr Drake is a great attorney to work with!

The truth!!!

I hired Scott Drake because I heard great things about his firm. He started working on my case immediately. His firm is very professional and they answered my calls everyday and let me know everything that was going on. When I did go to court I didn't even have time to sit down and Mr. Drake had got ...me off on all allegations. I'm grateful for him and his firm. He will fight for you and win. Thanks Drake I'm very grateful for you and your firm.

  • 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.
