If I'm ever in need of an attorney again, Darren Drake has earned a client for life with me!

I retained Darren less than 24 hours before having to appear in court. Within that time, he met with me and spent the better part of a day talking to me, explaining what he planned to do, how he planned to do it, and prepared me for what I could expect to happen. There was no way to know the outcome ...until it was decided by the judge, but regardless of the outcome I truly felt like Darren gave me best chances of winning. On the day of court, He and I discussed the case once more before going in front of the judge. The odds were not exactly in my favor and I had almost come to grips with the notion that I might not get a favorable outcome. When it came time for Darren to his thing and argue the law, he did it beautifully. He advised me on how to handle opposing counsels tactics and what to expect so I wasn't caught off guard. He knew how to ask questions to A) get the facts, and B) keep things flowing, which in my opinion also kept the judge and court officials happy. After it was all over, the judge ruled in my favor for more than we anticipated. We didn't get everything we asked for but I still considered it a victory. Darren is an exceptional Attorney with a drive to serve his clients like nothing I've experienced before. If your considerng him for your case, big or small, he knows the law and how to use it to get his clients the results they need.

Bright Skies Ahead

Darren Drake is brilliant. His profound knowledge of the judicial system & warm compassion for his client's circumstances/imminent future, places him at the top of the list in terms of best overall representation. Here is an American man of the people, highly motivated to go above & beyond the call o...f duty in order to help inform, represent, & better his client's circumstances/future in any way possible. Professional & organized, Darren Drake was consistently up to date with all aspects of my case. Straight-shooting & determined, his manner of handling my case was to not sugar coat my current circumstances through deception, but to lay out the facts of my case for me, evaluate the options for my future with myself & my family, & pinpoint the best plan of attack for my case. Without his know-how & expertise on how best to clean up the wreckage of my past, I would be rotting in jail at this moment in time. Instead I am loving every moment of this second chance at life as a free woman because of this amazing hard-working man. I have a bright future ahead of me now thanks to his gracious help & dedication. I am forever grateful. Highly recommended.

The best in middle Tennessee

Mr. Drake took on my case when he did not have to. He is not only a great lawyer, but a great man as well (which seemed impossible to find in a lawyer these days). Although my case was not big, he made it seem to me like it was the most important one to him. He pulled out every stop to assure that I ...got the best possible outcome in court. He went far beyond what I had hired him for and made it 100 times easier on me. When called to the docket it seemed as if he was the one in control of the court room which gave me a sense of comfort seeing as how I appeared I didn't belong In a place like that. I firmly believe that if you hire any other lawyer in middle Tennessee besides Mr. Drake you are making a mistake. I am forever grateful for what he did for me and the lessons he has taught me.

Fantastic representation!

I was dealing with an extremely sensitive situation regarding domestic violence with my wife, namely facing a class C felony and misdeameaner. I was scared, (I had never been in trouble with the law before) but knew I had made the right decision when I hired Darren Drake as my lawyer. He explained ev...erything to me as many times as I needed him too, was geniunly concerned for my well-being and was enthusiastic and well prepared for my court date. His hard work kept me from any jail time with minimal community service and only a couple of anger management classes. I would highly recommend Mr. Drake if you are facing any legal issues. He will be the best man for the job. Thank you again Darren for all your hard work and dedication.

D. Drake ' s services to me.

Mr. Drake provided me with the best legal defense I could have hoped for. I was charged with a much higher crime than what I was convicted of. The way he approached my legal issues was impressive beyond belief. He always was very knowledgeable and informative about any questions I had concerning my c...ase, constantly prompt to answering or returning my phone calls and importantly telling me the truth about my situation. Even after his duty to me as my defender was fulfilled he went above, beyond and even out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and understood the extent of my situation. Mr. Drake even took his own personal time after my conviction to ensure my jail time was arranged so I was thankfully able to keep my job, car and home. I was more than impressed with the way he defended me. If anyone ever needs legal help or advice I would definitely recommend Mr. Darren Drake and his associates for any problem. Absolutely would trust him with my life again without hesitation, but following his excellent advice I should not get myself back in this situation again. Thank you Mr. Darren Drake for your impeccable service and help.
