An attorney that is a cut above the rest.

On 04/28/2023 i was charged with 3 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. First contact with scott he represented me in a bond hearing and i recieved a bond when i was told it was impossible. My first thoughts about scott was he is different than any representstion i have had in the past , it seemed to me lik...e he really was concerned about how i was doing and reassuring me thathe was looking out for my best interestsThroughout my 2.5 years of waiting for my trial scott kept in touch with me and alleviated my fears even though i was facing serious jail time. Scott never promised me anything but told me that he was going to try and keep me out of jail. I walked out of the courtroom with 2 minor offences and basically a slap on the wrist. If i am ever in need of legal representation in any form i will look no further than Scott Drake. I trusted him with my life and it paid off. Thank you Scott. Forever in your debt.

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.
