Great & Very Knowledgeable Attorney

Me and fiance had the chance to work with Mr Scott Drake & his lovely wife. Very professional and made sure to stay in communication with us. He also is very straight to the point and doesn't BS like a lot of attorneys do. Definitely recommend him especially if your in the Gwinnett County area. 5 ST...ARS!

Best of the best hands down!!

Like the title says he's best of the best. He always kept me in the loop, answered my questions and let me knew what is was he was aiming for and wouldn't allow me to get anything but the best and in return that's exactly what I got. I can't thank him enough. He's the man. You definitely want him on... your side trust me . Thanks again!

Best Lawyer Hands Down

Mr. Drake has been my attorney for several cases but after getting arrested for my 3rd DUI, I thought my license was gone for years and I was going to have to pay high fines to try and get it back or even do jail time. Mr. Drake got the charge reduced and got my license reinstated . I am so glad I de...cided to hire Mr. Drake as my attorney. He always has great advice, great attitude, very upfront and honest, and has your best intrest at heart. I couldn’t have done it without him. His office has been very efficent on every case he’s worked with me on. I wouldn’t hire anyone else. Thank you again!

Avvo Rating

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.
