Expertise

After spending 28 years on the defense side, Mr. Drake knows from the inside how insurance companies and their defense attorneys think and what strategies they try to employ to defeat or minimize claims, and that knowledge makes him a far more effective plaintiffs’ attorney. In addition, Mr. Drake has impressive connections to a vast field of medical providers who he can call upon and employ as experts diagnose and testify about his clients’ injuries. Having the best medical experts can be the difference between winning or losing personal injury or wrongful death cases, and can also be crucial to establishing the maximum value of such cases.
