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.
- Trial-tested from both sides of the courtroom
- Straight answers, in plain English
- Available across the North State, from Redding to Chico
