• How much does it cost to hire Drake for a real estate case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Drake walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

  Simple real estate matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Drake gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Drake take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

  Drake is licensed in Georgia. Matters governed by Georgia law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Drake will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Drake?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Drake will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
