Scott Drake

Scott was professional and personable when handling our case. He was always reachable no matter what time of day or night if we had questions or concerns. Now I consider Scott a friend and someone I can go to if I need legal advice or help with another case. I would recommend Scott to anyone in need ...of legal representation. Thank you Scott for everything you’ve done and are still doing for us!

Very Pleased!

Scott Drake is an awesome attorney. He was able to negotiate an excellent plea bargain. Scott continued to negotiate with the prosecutor and gained additional concessions beyond what I expected. Scott was more than willing to take the case to trial, if an acceptable deal was not reached. Scott wa...s responsive and was available above and beyond. The fees were very reasonable, as well!

Best criminal defense lawyer in georgia!

Scott Drake used his knowledge of law coupled with determined effort to help me be with my family for the holidays, as the situation was calling strongly for otherwise. He was almost always available via phone. Also, in hiring Scott Drake came the backing of his law firm, which includes other powerf...ul attorneys and a helpful paralegal.

Criminal Defense Attorney You Want On Your Side!

Mr. Drake was nothing short of amazing. We've hired him a few times now for different cases and he's always pulled through with great results. He makes himself available for contact very often, and his staff and partners were incredibly helpful. I would definitely hire him again if I would need an cr...iminal defense attorney, but hopefully that won't be the case. I recommend him.

Great Lawyer

I had a felony case in which, I had to reach out to Scott Drake about and had also had a bench warrant served for me, because of me having no knowledge of my court proceedings. When Drake was retained by me, he wasted no time getting the bench warrant recalled and made sure I understood the process g...oing forward. Despite the district attorney offering me two serve years because of my offense, He was was able to negotiate me serving the time on probation which I was very happy about.
