Scott Drake

Scott was professional and personable when handling our case. He was always reachable no matter what time of day or night if we had questions or concerns. Now I consider Scott a friend and someone I can go to if I need legal advice or help with another case. I would recommend Scott to anyone in need ...of legal representation. Thank you Scott for everything you’ve done and are still doing for us!

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.

Criminal Defense Attorney You Want On Your Side!

Mr. Drake was nothing short of amazing. We've hired him a few times now for different cases and he's always pulled through with great results. He makes himself available for contact very often, and his staff and partners were incredibly helpful. I would definitely hire him again if I would need an cr...iminal defense attorney, but hopefully that won't be the case. I recommend him.

A Godsend

If there was ever a time where God showed me that He was present with me, it was when I acquired 'Scott Drake as my legal counsel. As someone who previously had never been in any trouble with the law, a random occurrence one day threatened to change the trajectory of my life forever. I was arrested f...or the first time and suddenly had two serious misdemeanor charges pressed against me that could've been tried as felonies. So, I initially experienced a lot of unease about the prospect of my situation and wasn't fully assured its outcome would end in my favor. However, after I gained Scott as my legal representation, and as we met periodically to discussed the particulars of my case, my confidence grew. Scott is direct and doesn't specialize in selling dreams. I really appreciated that about him. He told me the truth of what I was facing and always made sure that I understood what my options were. He was very knowledgeable of the laws surrounding my charges and at no time did I ever feel that he wasn't prepared to defend me. In my situation, I was actually the victim but the State's Prosecution treated me like I was a criminal. It felt good to know that Scott believed in my innocence from the beginning. I'm sure that made it much easier for him to fight on my behalf. There are a number of great things that I could say about Scott, but his desire to help people is his greatest quality. He did just that for me and I would quickly recommend him to anyone in need of an efficient and competent Defense Attorney.

Scott Drake saved my son

Mr Drake took my son's case at a very fustrating time during my son's time in jail. After months of getting no where, including several set backs, and nothing accomplished with very few options at hand, Mr. Drake was willing to work with us and take my son's case. He did everything he could to make s...ure my son's voice and concerns where heard, and pushed his case forward, much faster than our previous experience with a public defender. Mr. Drake was able to spare my son being sent to prison, provided solid legal advise, and through his dedication and determation it ultimately resulted in my son receiving the fairest sentence possible. Thank you Mr. Drake for taking my son's case and working hard to make sure he received the best deal possible. If you are looking for a straight shooter lawyer that will represent you well, Mr. Scott Drake is the one. Thank you Mr. Drake!
