Yardley Drake Buckman II's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"I have worked with Drake on several matters, including a several day jury trial on a serious criminal matter. Drake is one of the best attorneys I have had the good fortune to work with over my 20 year career. He is focused on the task at hand and protects the client at all costs. I wholeheartedly endorse Drake and Buckman and Buckman."
"I have worked with Drake on several difficult cases over the years. He has consistently gone above and beyond on behalf of his clients. He is a credit to both the community and his profession."
"I have known Drake for approximately the last 10 years. He is an excellent advocate who is always prepared and cares deeply about his clients and causes. Along with his wife, Aimee, Drake operates a very successful practice highlighted by client service and a will to succeed in the cases his firm accepts."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Drake is a highly skilled advocate. His professionalism and dedication are a real asset in representing injured victims and families."
