None Better

Mr. Drake is my attorney, I originally retained him in 1998 , for two different cases, currently he is representing me again. He is very knowledgeable, he's great to talk with . I feel he has a no nonsense look on his job. I'm so fortunate I have him as an attorney.

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.

Lawyer John D. Drake Review

Lawyer John D. Drake is one of the best attorneys I have ever met, his work is sold, he is very trustworthy and very knowledgeable of Tennessee’s State laws. He never rushes and is very competent in his work and his court proceedings. I recommend him to anyone searching for a quality attorney. ...He listens to your needs and how the law applies to them and he has a very high quality staff. Thank you again for your help!

Attorney Skeptic

After dealing with attorneys over the years, as a law enforcement officer, hiring one is not something high on my list. With that said, I knew I had to find an attorney that I knew something about, trusted, and who would be a good fit with me considering my attitude at times. Over the years, John has... defended many clients that I arrested. So I knew right away that he wouldn't just half way do what he was supposed to do and that his knowledge of the law was very good considering the trials that we've had and that his cross examinations while on the stand during testimony were tough to say the least. I can say that when I brought my problem to him, even though it was family law and not criminal law, after speaking to him, he set my mind at ease about the issue. Well, my opinion has changed somewhat now, not on all lawyers, but in regards to John Drake....best decision I ever made in hiring an attorney!! His assistant, Kellie, always prompt, courteous, and on top of knowing where my case was at any given time, even though I know she's a busy person. Thank you for a job superbly done!!

This Law Enforcement Officer has challenged me in and out of court. I have to admit he taught me many things. I'm proud he chose me to help him. I'm also proud he serves our community well. Thanks Officer!
