I've been on the Front Range of Colorado since 1999, and grew up in Crested Butte, Colorado. After college in Oregon including a year in Paris, France, I moved to New York City where I worked as a paralegal and attended law school at night. I've traveled all over Europe and a bit of North Africa, as well as having lived in Japan and the Philippines. I practice up and down the Front Range of Colorado with an office on the west side of the Denver area, in Golden. My hobbies include wildlife photography, hiking and skiing.

Marie Drake is Terrific
We had a great experience with Marie Drake. We hired Marie to help us get out of a timeshare. We didn’t think it was possible, but she did it. It also cost less than we expected. We definitely recommend Marie Drake—she’s terrific.
"Marie is a dogged advocate for her clients as well as a very bright, ethical, and professional attorney."
"Having worked with or consulted with Marie on various cases over the past year, I can say that she is knowledgeable and experienced and has the nuanced, tactful insight clients so often need from their counsel. I would never hesitate to send her a friend or family member in need of legal services in Colorado."
"Marie and I are both graduates of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. I have had the pleasure to meet her at several events, and we now serve on the alumni board together. She is a force of nature - dedicated to her clients and her community. I have been so impressed by her. I'd happily refer my Colorado friends to her."
"Characters tell stories, lawyers tell stories, and Marie.... SHE can tell a story. I attend a lot of things in other, and Marie is one of the draws. Besides being a highly respected lawyer with a large network, Marie connects with People on an intimate and profound level. She is not "just" a lawyer for folks, Marie brings a library of knowledge and experience to show a trier of fact the fundamental truths. I have the deepest respect for her practice and wound not hesitate to have her on my team or work for one of my clients. She is incredible."
"I have worked with Ms. Drake for several years. I have seen her prepare her cases, observed her care and concern for her clients, and witnesses her excellent results for them. Ms. Drake brings great passion, wisdom, and creativity to her work for her clients. She spends countless hours working on the story of her client, developing a sound case strategy, and getting her client the best results. Her varied and quite adventurous life has made her very prudent, empathetic, and clever in finding a way to best achieve a good result for those for whom she fights. Every one of Ms. Drake's clients benefits from her legal acumen and her wonderful caring personality."
"I know Marie from Trial Lawyers College, the best training for lawyers -- in the world. She is an excellent lawyer, brilliant, and so compassionate. You will be lucky to be represented by this exceptional attorney."
"I met Marie through the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming and I have remained in contact with her here in Colorado. Marie has a wealth of experience and is a committed advocate for her clients. I endorse Marie!"
"Marie Drake is a passionate legal advocate and a person worth knowing. Her heart is in her cases, and she possesses what it takes to fight for her clients. I have gotten to know Marie as a fellow student and active graduate of Trial Lawyer’s College, and my world is better for it. I recommend her!"
"Marie is one of the strongest people I've ever met. She is incredibly intelligent, client-focused, and dedicated to providing the best legal services for her clients. You will be well-served by hiring her for your legal needs."
"I couldn't ask for better co-counsel than Marie. First and foremost, she genuinely cares about her clients and their wellbeing. You only need to sit in one meeting for a few minutes to realize that. She's also an incredibly skilled trial lawyer who is easy to work with (whether you're counsel or a client). She is unafraid of the courtroom or putting a client's best case forward. I wholeheartedly recommend her."
"Marie is very well respected in the legal community here in Denver. If you're headed to trial, Marie can help you. She is very comfortable in the courtroom and unafraid to go to battle for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"In addition to her commitment to her clients, Marie is committed to mentoring younger lawyers and working to make the legal community more civil. She's an asset to our Inn of Court and to the Colorado Bar as a whole."
"I have worked in close proximity to Marie (although not ever on the same projects) in the past and found her to be refreshingly forthright and honest in her opinions. She is NOT a hide-the-ball kind of lawyer, which I find so helpful. She is efficient, diligent and one of the most ethical lawyers I have ever had the opportunity to know."
