A True Professional

I needed a lawyer to represent me in a probation violation. It was my second violation and I just didn't want to go to jail again. I searched the Internet for "Best Lawyers In Murfreesboro" and John Drake came up, next to other lawyers. I called him and left a message with his secretary and he got ri...ght back to me. I told him my problem and he went right to work before I even paid him. He told what to do, he had a plan, he met with my Wife and I and he treated us like family. He didn't make promises but he said he would fight for me and that's exactly what he did. He faught to the end for me and the result was.... NO JAIL TIME. That's exactly what we wanted and HE DID IT!!! If ypu need an attorney call him. WHAT A RELIEF!! Thanks Mr. Drake.

Kevin made a mistake. That mistake resulted in a violation of his probation. But after his violation he made every right decision there was to make. By doing that he got his probation officer to take his side. Kevin's actions were brilliant and he received an exceptional result. Thank you Kevin for "DOING THE NEXT RIGHT THING!" Now you can parent your kids and be a husband to your wife. Clients like Kevin make me look smart. - John D. Drake

Dependable Representation

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.

Thank you, Carrie for your trust in our work.

John Drake really helped our family....

We had a sensitive custody case that lasted the better part of a year, and was finally over this August. John did an outstanding job representing us, and we won our case thanks to his diligence and patience. We were awarded more by the Judge than we asked for, which is a testament to how well John p...resented our case. John's paralegal, Kellie was also extremely helpful and responsive. During several bumps in the road, she kept us calm and balanced with her guidance and reassurance, and so did John. Forever grateful to both of them for taking such good care of us.

That Kathy chose to laud my assistant, Kellie, before me, is not surprising. I'm proud to have an assistant of twelve years who can fill the needs of our clients when I'm in Court. Way to go Kellie. Thank you Kathy

Too good to be true? Yes!!!

What an amazing firm- especially John D. Drake and his paralegal Kellie go WAY above and beyond what a person could expect and get the results you want! For example, I was arrested for PI and I am a public figure..... He and Kellie worked their butts off and suggested community service and AA meeting...s! I did what they suggested and we actually walked out of court with everything being completely dismissed!!! Like it never happened! John and Kellie are proficient, knowledgeable and caring! Other firms can promise you the moon, but IF you want someone honest, loyal and would fight for you at a reasonable cost..... Please look no further! They literally are for you!!!! TRUST ME!

When a client listens and follows up with the advice of her lawyer, doing good things for her becomes a lot easier. Thank you for your trust.
