Davidson County lawyer John Martin Drake was today reinstated to the active practice of law by the Tennessee Supreme Court. However, the court conditioned his reinstatement on him serving two years on probation during which time he must complete five addition hours of continuing legal education and engage a mentor in his area of practice. The mentor must report to the Board of Professional Responsibility every six months. Drake had been suspended on April 28, 2017, for two years. He filed a petition for reinstatement in March and a hearing panel found his petition to be satisfactory.
