The best lawyer in GA

In span of 10 years, Scott Drake represented us two difficult cases. Both cases have been dismissed. If you are looking for a sincere and capable lawyer, choose Mr. Scott Drake as your lawyer. He is one of the best lawyer that anyone can have. I highly recommend him.

Best lawyer

No one ever expects to go through things. Sometimes embarrassing ones, unfortunately. Drake has helped me out so much even with great advice. You can tell he is for the people. Top notch. Worth every penny. Thank you very much.

Best Lawyer in the city of lawrenceville

When I say you wouldn’t want to spend your money on no other lawyer than Mr.Drake himself I mean that. This man will go to the bat for you he will do everything in his power to have you a free man/women instead of behind bars. I’ve had Drake as my lawyer for 3 years now and I wouldn’t change him for ...anyone great man and you honestly feel comfortable talking to him about everything, he has gotten me out of probation violation, duo’s etc man drake is that guy I can’t thank him enough me and my family appreciate him and I’m sure you will too.. great man

Miracle workers

Scott and Tracy work miracles. Everyone knows them and respects them. My probation was giving me the run around and refused to do what they had promised by avoiding my family. Once they got on my case, it was only days and i was back to work. They even contacted my family every morning at 5:30 AM to ...ensure I was released in the timely manner!

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.
