about

Benjamin Drake

Drake Law Firm was founded by Benjamin Drake in Los Angeles, California and has recovered over $150 million for clients.

In the year 2006, Benjamin acquired his Juris Doctor(JD) and since then has been practicing law and persistently fighting for his client’s rights. He has been an Associate Member of the Consumer Attorneys of California since the year 2009 and a member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association and Encino Bar Association. He has been featured in Newsweek as a Premier Law Firm.

Benjamin Drake has been several radio stations including KJLH 102.3 about the ways he strives to maintain the true principles of good old’ fashioned service when people actually cared and got to know a person on a personal level.

Benjamin Drake’s main area of practice involves personal injury claims such as vehicle accidents, bicycle and motorcycle accidents, train accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, dog bites, birth injuries; all of which he has successfully pursued to completion including collecting millions of dollars in settlements and judgments for his clients across the state of California.

Benjamin’s professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate nature are the three assets that have enabled him to excel in interpreting California’s laws to favor his clients.

"What sets my firm apart is the attention to each client’s special needs"

Every day he fights to set himself apart from other law firms by really getting to know his clients, showing them how invested he is in obtaining the settlement that they deserve, and by helping them regain a sense of hope and normality back into their lives.

Throughout the years, he has maintained friendships with clients who have portrayed him to be as part of their family. He never rests and is always available for his client’s needs. He genuinely expresses emotion and empathy towards his clients. To Benjamin Drake, his clients are not just another case or a number, but an actual human being who deserves the utmost care and customer service attention.

Benjamin is well-aware of the impact that a personal injury accident can have on an individual. A person might be in excruciating pain along with emotional distress and have to face the financial burden that an accident brings due to the negligent act’s or omissions of an individual, but Benjamin Drake is with his clients every step of the way and takes them across the finish line while making sure that they are taken care of, emotionally, physically and financially.

about

Megan Valles

Megan Valles was born in Fresno and later moved to San Fernando Valley where she has enjoyed living ever since. She was later inspired to become an attorney by two things. The first was her love for legal drama tv shows like Law & Order. She loved watching attorneys present their cases and fight for their client’s case. The second came as a fortunate result to a very unfortunate situation. Megan was in a serious car accident and needed an attorney to help her take on the insurance company. Eventually, she found herself working for her attorney and enjoying the fine details of law and research.

Megan did her undergrad at Cal State Northridge where she majored in sociology and criminology. After graduating, she enrolled in University of West Los Angeles, juggling a heavy course load while working full time at a personal injury law firm. Megan has gained valuable experience since becoming a lawyer at the Drake Law Group. She enjoys handling personal injury cases because she can deeply understand her clients having been in a similar position twice.

When she isn’t fighting for her clients, Megan enjoys snowboarding, hiking, and running. She has done six half marathons and is aiming to do a full marathon in the near future.
