Call someone else

I’m wishing I had come here before hiring. I deeply regret using an attorney after this experience just like everyone else here poor communication not getting paid money that I am entitled to because I’m disabled due to an accident. That wasn’t my fault. They haven’t done anything for me they don’t r...eturn calls what they say they never do and yet to have someone keep their word This accident ruined my life and it’s been months since I’ve been paid. I am beginning to think that they’re not able to handle this case, but what can I do when I’ve already had to borrow money from them, conveniently at a one percent interest, so don’t think it’s out of the goodness of their heart.

Great Lawyer, Great Guy

Benjamin is personable, genuine, attentive, immediately responsive, thorough, professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable. He was committed to a successful closure of my case. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants a lawyer who will give personal service and compassionate care during a difficult... time.

Poor Communication & Wate of Energy

I wish negative stars were a possibility because it has been well over a year since the accident and I am still never able to get updated on the case. I am the one who is constantly calling and will have to call between 3-5 times before I get a call back because naturally they never want to answer th...e phone. I was told on multiple occasions that the case was going in for the demand and that everything would be settled pretty quickly but clearly that has not happened yet, or if that did happen they have not had the ability to communicate that with me. I find it completely ridiculous that I have to be the one harassing the office to get any update....you would think that you want to have good communication with the customer and would call the customer with updates not make them call you on a daily basis to get information that at this point I have no idea if its true or not. I will NEVER be using this company again and I will ensure that if anyone asks me about finding a lawyer I warn them about this office. HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION SKILLS! If I knew it was going to be like this I never would have used them, I regret not doing further research before allowing them to take on my case.

At the Drake Law Firm, we are constantly checking for updates from the insurance companies on the status of claims so that your situation can be resolved as quickly as possible. I, personally, want to find out more information from you about your experience. I am embarrassed that anyone would have such experience with our firm.

Trustworthy

Mr. Drake was courteous, professional, a gentleman and very caring as was his staff. He kept in contact with me and updated me about the status of my case. I'm extremely satified with Mr. Drake and would highly recommend him to family and friends without hesitation. I am very satified with the way... Mr. Drake and his staff has handled my case.
