Review for John Drake

John Drake did all he agreed to do. He did it in the time span that he said he would and for the fee agreed on. I was pleased and will contact him again when I am in need of a lawyer.

Strong and Caring Attorney

We contacted John Drake for assistance with a difficult legal issue involving our nephew. We are from out of town and an attorney friend of mine recommend we call John. He immediately checked into our issue and gave good, solid legal advice and assured us he would be able to help us. John Drake wo...rked diligently on our case and skillfully negotiated the best possible outcome. He did not merely accept the first offer and settle; he kept at it until he got a resolution that was acceptable and will allow our nephew to move on with his life. John can be tough when he has to be. He is honest and straight forward, and through the whole process we knew he had our best interests in mind. He left our nephew with some solid advice about how to make the most of his life. I feel that I not only have met a very skilled attorney, but also I have made a friend for life. I hope our paths continue to cross during happier times. You absolutely cannot go wrong with John Drake.

Hugh's nephew is a brilliant young man who had strayed from his path and he received a criminal charge. When his case was over, I left him with these words: "IF THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE, THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT LIFE." The important thing for him to learn is that he is not the crime he was accused of, nor forever a criminal. All he has to do is: "MAKE THE NEXT RIGHT DECISION." Hopefully, he will. Thank you, Hugh and your family for your faith in me. - John Drake

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

John is great!

John made this whole process so easy! All I had to do was look over the case with him once, and he took it from there! I hardly remember it because he handled everything with promptness and professionalism.

Sarah is a brilliant, vibrant and hard working young person. She has all the skills to succeed in life. I look forward to the day that she can come to me and tell me I was right to believe in her. If what happened to her is the worst thing to happen in her life, she is going to have a great life. I know it will happen for you, Sarah. Thank you- 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.
