ABOUT THE FIRM

The Law Offices of Kenneth W. Drake & Associates, Inc.
("Drake & Associates") is a boutique litigation firm with
offices in Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks) and Santa
Barbara. We take pride in offering the highest caliber
legal services in the following areas of law:

Historically, the cornerstone of our practice has been the
representation of hospitals, physicians, psychologists,
therapists and others in the health care, mental health
and related fields (e.g., clinical social workers) including
malpractice defense and licensing matters. Our
attorneys have over 30 years of combined experience in
these areas. For more information, click here or call us
to speak with an attorney.

As a small firm, we do not stretch ourselves thin trying
to handle every possible type of case. Rather, we limit
our practice to provide clients with the best possible
representation in a four specific areas of law.

In those areas of law, our attorneys have recovered
millions of dollars for plaintiffs. On all plaintiffs' cases,
we offer the following:

Additional information on our four plaintiffs' practice
areas are provided below:

We represent victims who have suffered serious
personal injury or who have lost a loved one due to
another's negligent or wrongful conduct. Our attorneys
are well-versed in handling all manner of personal injury
cases including (but not limited to) auto accidents, slip
& falls, product liability and assaults. For more
information, click here, or call us to speak with an

We represent victims of sexual harassment both in the
workplace and in consumer relations. Many people do
not realize that California law prohibits sexual
harassment not just by an employer, but also in various
consumer settings, such as if a lawyer sexually harasses
a client. Our attorneys offer skilled and aggressive
representation of victims of sexual harassment at work
and in consumer settings. We also offer a monthly
seminar, "Know Your Rights: Recognizing and
Responding to Sexual Harassment." For more
information on this practice area or the seminar, click

Neglect of the basic needs of the elderly is a epidemic
problem in our society. California has specific laws
which address neglect of the elderly as well as physical,
mental and financial abuse of the elderly. Our attorneys
are experienced handling elder abuse cases. Though we
do not sue hospitals or physicians, we can handle elder
abuse claims against other persons and entities, such
as nursing homes. We also offer a monthly seminar,
"Know Your Rights: Recognizing and Responding to
Elder Abuse." For more information on this practice area
or the seminar, click here or call us to speak with an
attorney now.

Often attorneys commit errors that cost their clients
substantial money. For example, a client may have a
personal injury claim worth $100,000, but the client's
attorney fails to file the lawsuit in time. In such a case,
the client may be able to recover the same $100,000
from his attorney. We aggressively represent plaintiffs
who have suffered substantial financial harm due to
their former attorney's negligence or other misconduct.
Though some lawyers shy away from suing their own
kind, we believe that shoddy lawyers must be held
accountable or the whole profession suffers. For more
information, click here or call us to speak with an
attorney now.

We also offer an Appeals and Writs Practice as well as a
Mediation Practice.

Our attorneys are well-versed in appellate practice and
procedure, as well as seeking and opposing relief by
way of extraordinary writs. We can offer such services
as co-counsel, or can take a case on referral when it
reaches this stage. For more information, click here or
call us.

Our attorneys are available for private mediation
services, usually in one of the practice areas identified
above. For more information, click here or call us.
