A 70 year old male client
Drake is a conscientious person and a knowledegable attorney. He's a great counsellor to have working for you. His costs are reasonable; and he will tell you the truth whether that's what you want to hear or not. He's experienced in writing Wills and setting up trusts and estates. I highly recommend him.

Unknown Attorney | Aug 11
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I met Drake on the first day of law school and our friendship grew quickly and deeply from there. I credit him with helping me overcome my fear of public speaking, and consequently saving my legal career before it even had a chance to begin! Drake is one of the most creative and charismatic people I've ever known. Both excellent qualities in a trial attorney! In fact, I believe my own courtroom style was subconciously modeled on his. Although I've never had the opportunity to work with Drake in the real world, I have spoken with him about cases on numerous occasions, and it is clear to me that his brilliance and work ethic have not faded in the least since law school. I have often turned to him for advice or to bounce an idea off of him, and he has never failed me. I would recommend Drake in a heartbeat for any type of legal issue, with full confidence in his abilities."
