Hired Attorney

Tom Drake is way past his prime. His strategy now is to coast - go along with whatever the other side wants and charge a lot of money to do it. He cannot put together all the facts of a case to create a defense. His writing is even shaky.

Hired Attorney

The biggest problem in this country is that the very people who are guardians of law generally are the most disrespectful to law. Showing a vast disregard to law and then depraved indifference toward law are two of the strongest characteristics of Thomas Drake. He personally oversaw a case where fraudulent Behavior occurred he not only looked the other way it seems as though he may have been part of the criminal act When he was notified of forged documents that occurred by a party he was representing he did nothing he said nothing and he still acted upon the fraudulent information towards a desired outcome that would financially benefit him. He actually told somebody one time that they needed to prove they were innocent in order for him to leave them alone. Showing a total disregard for due process and the laws he is charged with upholding as an officer of the Court. Unfortunately I found that anybody who decides to hire Tom Drake is most assuredly going to have to hire another lawye

Typical attorney it's all about money and nothing about law I get the feeling he would steal from an old lady if she wasn't looking. Oh wait a minute that's exactly what he did to my mother

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
