I spoke with almost every attorney in Rutherford County before I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. John D. Drake. After eight years and two life changing events, I can say with the utmost confidence if you are in need of a family/personal injury attorney you can trust to represent your best intere...st look no further. John took the time to get to know me and the situation I faced before laying out a series of action for obtaining the outcome I needed. I was not always the easiest client to deal with due to the emotional nature of both my legal situations. If I was crying he would make me laugh, if I was angry he would make me laugh, if I was complacent he would call me out and encourage me to take action. With John and his assistant Kelly as your legal guidance you have a team who will go the extra mile for you. I am thankful to say that over the years I have gained two friends whom I fully trust to support my family's best interest if and when the need arises.

I found myself caught in some trouble from shoplifting. I felt like I was in a point in my life where I didn't have a choice which forced me to step outside of my character. I had to provide for my child so i stole. Going to court, I was treated like a criminal. When I knew deep down that that was no...t me. That's the day I contacted Mr. John Drake. I had a job opportunity come my way and the fact that a shoplifting charge was now on my record, hindered me from the job of a lifetime. When talking to Mr. Drake, he was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to help. Within a weekend's time, after some hours of community service and an apology letter to walmart, Mr. Drake got my shoplifting charge dismissed! I am now working and providing for my daughter with no help at all. Mr. John Drake truly changed my life!!
