The Advantage

The former-prosecutor edge.

Timothy Prentiss spent years as a prosecutor before founding the firm, trying serious cases from the other side of the aisle. He knows exactly how the District Attorney builds a case, because he used to build them.

That insight becomes your strategy. We anticipate the prosecution’s next move, find the weaknesses in their file, and fight for the best possible outcome: a reduction, a dismissal, or a win at trial.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Prentiss is an exceptional attorney that won’t leave you hanging.   My family used him in civil litigation matter and he successfully recovered damages.  He even got a portion of their attorney fees recovered.   He has a strong criminal  background and is a reputable family law attorney.  His rates are reasonable and I would use him again if need be.  Thanks
