John David Drake and his staff (Kellie Finney) are much more than a temporary one-time business relationship to me. I feel that my case was very personal and that is how I was treated from day one as a client from this professional firm, “personal.” The representation I received was not just thoroug...h and with favorable outcome it was a learning experience in how the legal system works. The time that is taken to answer to my every question and the ability to cut through on a personal level gave me the utmost trust that this firm was in my corner. Thank you John David Drake and your skilled staff for your outstanding legal representation of my interest. I look forward to you being my family lawyer for any future needs that may arise and consider you and your staff not just my families representation, but also one of friends.

I hired Drake to represent my grandson on various charges. He did not call me or my husband as character witnesses as he had said he would. After my grandson was convicted and sent directly to jail to serve his full sentence, Mr. Drake told him to contact him in a few months and would be glad to fi...le a petition to try and get him out early. He told me and my husband the same thing after we left the court room and stood and talked with him for several minutes. Four months passed and I called his office and left a message for him to call me with his secretary. After not hearing from him for a week, I called his office again and the secretary said to me "this is about getting your grandson out early, right?" And i said yes, it is. She said again that she would have him call. Two and a half months later and he has still not called us. He obviously is not a man of his word. I thought about offering him more money to petition the court but came to my senses and decided I did not want someone who could not be trusted.

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.

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.
