Attorney for 6 years

We had a very complex case dealing with custody of children. Mr. Drake worked hard and was honest about everything, every step of the way. We knew exactly what to expect, even if it wouldn't be what we wanted to happen, he led us in the direction of getting us there.

Everyone involved with divorce, custody and subsequent adoption wants things done immediately, but occasionally there is the case that is a marathon, not a sprint. This client's case was just that. Regardless, they stuck by me and I stuck by them. Thankfully, they got custody of their children and I know they're better for it. Congratulations, again. -John

Thanks Mr. Drake

I have used Mr. Drake in the past for several cases such as, divorce, simple possession and business related issues. Every time, to my amazement, I have gotten the fair end of deal but this last case i was truly caught of guard. A couple of years ago Mr. Drake represented me in a DUI charge, on which... he got drop down to a reckless driving charge (five days in jail and 11-29 probation). Well i didn't go to probation, couple years later got arrested for probation violation. First appearance verdict....... pay the court cost, probation fines, DUI class and 45 days in jail for the violation. Mr. drake ask the courts to rescheduled my court date for 30 days. Mr. drake then advised me at that time to pay all cost, take the class and go to probation for the next four weeks and he would work out the rest. Second appearance verdict.... after giving Mr. Drake all the receipts and certificate of the class, Mr. Drake went to bat on the violation charge with the DA. To my amazement Mr. Drake returned with a motion to drop the probation violation. After going in front of the judge the violation was dropped and I am no longer on probation. With Mr. drake acknowledgement of the law I would recommend him with any case.

Best Dui Lawyer in all of Murfreesboro

Mr. Drake was very knowledgeable and helpful in my case. Not only did john get my DUI case dropped to a reckless but even managed to get a 7 day mandatory jail sentenced reduced as well. As far as his professionalism and staff, they are second to none. They are friendly, polite and made me feel very ...comfortable. I would highly recommend John for any case and know I would be represented with the highest caliber on knowledge, experience and professionalism in the nation. Thank you John.

Thank you Mr. Drake!!

I went to child support without an attorney because I thought (First mistake) it would be a for sure adjustment. Well it wasn't and by 10 cents I lost 200.00 dollars a month. So I went to Mr.Drake and he flat out told me after looking at my case that he wasn't sure if he could do anything or not beca...use the numbers were so close. He told me it would be a gamble and if I was to hire him and he didn't want to take my money at the time. He told me to think on it over the weekend and let him know. So I thought about this long and hard over two days. Myself not being the gambling man decided to go for it. I hired Mr. Drake to represent me. They filed the paperwork. We got a court date and the other parties Attorney wanted it dismissed but Mr. Drake went before the court and explained the circumstances to her and she heard our case. After getting on the stand and answer questions from both Attorney's it came to the conclussion that I had been over paying in my child support. The reason being was because without Mr. drake I had gotten confused on the stand and answered a question wrong that benefitted the other party. Mr. Drake clarified that before the court and I won. Thank you Mr. Drake and I will always have your card in my back pocket!!
