Don’t hire this attorney
He showed no interest. Convinced me to take a ridiculous plea and told me I would only do about 1 year since I didn’t have a record and I done 4 years and just recently coming home. I guess he only fight for certain cases. So basically if you don’t want to do a lot of time don’t hire him.
While we strive to get the best results possible for our clients sometimes a plea is the best option, because the effect of a conviction after trial is often times punishment that is more severe than that offered for a plea. Because this reviewer chose to post anonymously I cannot respond with any further detail other than to say the choice to plea or go to trial is always the client's not the lawyers.
"Scott Drake is a highly experienced and respected attorney. He works, and fights hard for his clients rights, and gets excellent results. Scott has an enormous amount of criminal law and trial experience, and anyone who hires him will be in great hands."
