Frances-Marie Angeles Prizzia

I highly recommend Atty. Frances and Ms. Kristin — they were outstanding throughout my entire case. From beginning to end, they guided me with genuine care, professionalism, and excellent communication. I never felt alone during the process; they had my back every step of the way. Atty. Frances is a ...true fighter who goes above and beyond to defend and advocate for you. What stood out the most was how they treated me like family, always making sure I felt informed, confident, and supported in every decision. If you're looking for a legal team that truly cares and delivers real results, this is the firm to trust!

II express sincere gratitude for your invaluable assistance in uncovering the truth and seeking justice to vindicate my reputation. I extend a heartfelt thank you to Attorney Prezzia and her dedicated team for their exceptional support. I wholeheartedly endorse this law firm to individuals seeking im...partial and ethical legal counsel.

First off, I'd like to mention a credible source regarding Attorney Frances-Marie Prizzia. After mentioning I parted ways with her, the Orange County sheriff replied, "She's horrible. Good thing you got rid of her." If you won't listen to the other negative reviews, then maybe his response will carry... some weight. Frances and Kristen (Krisi) are deceitful. They claim to be sympathetic and end up preying on your vulnerability. Like the other negative reviews, after payment, they disappeared and waited until the last minute to review and address my case. Long story short, the evening before my court hearing, Frances raised her voice on the phone and started prosecuting me as if I were on the stand in court. I hired and paid her; I'm supposed to be her client, yet she was defending my ex. She didn't have my best interest, and she blantantly disrespected me. In her response, she claims that I yelled, "was condescending and demanding, and extremely aggressive." The truth is I was in tears, full on crying halfway through our conversation on the phone, and every time I tried to speak, she'd cut me off and yell "I'm not done!" or "Answer the question!" and I was supposedly the aggressor?? She basically described herself. I was hesitant to hire her due to multiple negative reviews, but I fell for their act. I knew I had a long shot of winning my DVRO, but Krisi made it seem possible; she encouraged me and gave me false hope. I wish I had listened to all the bad reviews rather than hope that a fellow Filipina would actually be helpful. What a waste of $4k. Please read all the reviews on every platform before you hire this person. To Frances (and team), I don't need a lengthy email or response summarizing what supposedly happened between me and my ex or between me and you. I know the truth. I'm a good person who was going through an extremely emotional and stressful time. Shame on you for taking advantage of me.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Frances Prizzia and Kristin Davis, and cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and expertise. From the moment I spoke with Ms. Davis, I was greeted with warmth and courtesy, and felt an immense amount of reassurance. The staff demonstrated a dee...p understanding of my legal needs and provided me with clear, concise guidance every step of the way. Not only did they handle my case with precision and efficiency, but they also made me feel like a valued client, taking the time to listen to my concerns and address them with care. It did not matter if it was 10pm at night, or 7am the following day. Their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me was evident throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend Frances Prizzia Law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction sets them apart in the field, and I am grateful to have had their support during one of the most challenging times in my life. Thank you, Frances Prizzia & Kristin Davis for your outstanding service!

I was happy Ms. Prizzia extended a retainer agreement during my difficult circumstances that were no fault of my own. Before I spoke with Ms Prizzia I was matriculated through to her via her two office staff assistants at the time then lastly to Ms. Prizzia. I was assured by her office staff a copy o...f my discovery would be procured from my then current representation. I hired Ms. Prizzia to review my discovery with me and give a second opinion. I requested her office staff confirm they can obtain the discovery before I paid. Everything was yes and amen. They could not procure a copy of my discovery after I paid. They never gave me a second opinion from said discovery, only re-read a redacted version of the police narrative (which can be done within the free CA Bar 30min free consultation and therefore no need to pay). My then current representation told me to call and get my money back. I did and Ms. Praizzia had a royal melt down over it and refused to give it back. I wish I could upload the txt messages she sent here so you can see. I filed a CA Bar complaint not to get her law licence taken but to have some measure of accountability and oversight and to attempt to get resolution. Ms. Prizzia falsely said I didn't pay her to review the discovery, only a second opinion. This is logically self refuting; I don't need to pay someone to give a second opinion on a police narrative (that takes 5-10min out of a free 30 min consultation), However, I would need to pay an attorney to review discovery, a much more involving process, ever so much more than 30min. As someone who has training in psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy as well as many numerous business associates in the performance industry, Ms. Prizzia conduct is clear. This is not a one time offense, she is not stupid or misunderstood, this is a "Pervasive Character Pattern." This happens when you have no accountability or grow as a person. Who was she serving, her client or herself? Did her staff conduct themselves professionally? It's too bad, I was really hoping she would help me, but Ms. Prizzia chose not to- she did not do anything and she exploited my difficult situation for her own unjust financial enrichment. In this regard, her and her staff were behaving more like one of those Gold Diggers. She is fortunate the case workers at the CA Bar are not attorneys and they are not that smart. And Ms. Priazzia's response to the CA Bar's inquiry was hollow and generic, bereft of any authentic connection, but was rather evasive. After all, her bar licence is on the line, telling the truth would come with undesirable consequences. Mr. Prizzia is in a position of trust for people going through vulnerable and traumatic situations. Talk is cheap, actions are everything. Looking back I would have chosen a better person and the best criminal attorney. Best wishes for those other first time victims of the system getting put through the ringer when it's no fault of your own. Hopefully your family believes you. To Ms. Prizzia: The God you may or may not believe in created you, loves you and will one day review all things you have done even in secret, seeing even your thoughts and intentions. This is not over. See you then and hopefully with those marching in.
