Drug/traffic charges

I was recommended by a family member that spent a lot of time in prison to reach out to Mr. Drake. He didn’t have the privilege to use him but word around the inside was that he was amazing. I did that for my husband who got himself in a hair situation. He ended up spending a year and a half in co...unty but Mr. Drake came through with flying colors and got us a dismissed case. Patience while he does his thing is important because I promise you, he is working on the best outcome! Thank you Mr. Drake!

Excellent

During an unfortunate time of our lives, we were fortunate enough to find an excellent and carrying team with The Drake & Estes Law Firm specifically, Mr. Drake, he helped us navigate the scary journey we were heading. As expected they are very busy but at the moment of truth they are there for you; ...his experience and demeanor gave us confidence and comfort during the trial; leading to a successful outcome! Our family can’t thank him enough. Definitely recommend him and will be using for any legal need!

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!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
