Mary Frances Prevost

I came in to Mary referred by a cop in Orange County who she did some work for. I was arrested for a DUI with injury to another person. The cop knew her from some other case out of Riverside she handled. So I took his advice and hired her. It took 18 months and a lot of court appearances and a lot of... motions and aggravation. Finally Mary made enough damage to the DA's case that they offered me a misdemeanor, five days in jail, and a chance at expunging the whole thing down the line. I was in serious trouble and Mary fixed my mess for me. I will always praise the Lord for sending me to her.

I hired Mary to represent me in a felony DUI with a prior conviction two years ago. This case also included a bodily injury allegation. I thought the case was a slam dunk. They had me at the scene, they had my blood and they had accident cops there. Mary worked some hocus pocus and blew the validit...y of the blood test out of the water. They still might have got me for the DUI without it, but because of Mary, my case was reduced to a misdemeanor with fines and a program.

I came to Ms. Prevost after having viewed her extensive experience and trial skills, as well as seeing her videos and how she presents. I was charged falsely with two felonies arising out of a false accusation of domestic violence perpetrated by my ex wife. Needless to say, this was her first shot o...ver the bow at attempting to keep my 6 and 8 year old boys from me. I hired Ms. Prevost because I felt I needed a woman who could take on another tough woman if I was forced to go all the way to trial. Unfortunately, the prosecutors rejected all attempts by Ms. Prevost to have my case dismissed even after presenting her with ample evidence that my ex was fabricating her story. I was correct in hiring Ms. Prevost to proceed to trial. She was ready and raring to go. She put my ex on the hot seat, and didn't NOT let her lies go unpunished. I used the word "punished" because that is exactly what Ms. Prevost did to my ex by way of her tough cross examination. The jury returned with two "not guilty" verdicts within an hour. Really, we didn't have time to finish our coffee we had gone to get after closing arguments before the jury returned. My only wish is that the DA's office would try my ex wife for perjury. But Mary told me the DA would not be interested in that kind of justice. I highly recommend Mary Prevost. Highly. She was a superstar in trial.

I was arrested for domestic violence, resisting arrest and battery on an officer. I cannot tell you how ridiculous this was. My wife went crazy because she thought I was spying on her. She threw a cabbage at me, and hit me on the back. I picked up up, threw it back at her, and hit her arm. She call...ed the police. They came, and since I asked them questions about why they were taking me instead of either; 1) letting it go, or; 2) taking both of us cabbage throwing idiots away, they charged me with resisting or "delaying" an officer. I tripped when they hauled me out, and added a battery case on top of it because when I fell, I kicked on of the cops in the leg. I'm a medical professional. This was ridiculous. What is even more ridiculous, is that when the city prosecutors got it, they didn't throw it out. They went along with the police. My wife got contacted by a victim's advocate who harassed her because she did not want me prosecuted. They called her a battered woman who needed help. Remember, we were throwing a cabbage at each other. The city domestic violence advocate wouldn't let up. What a nut. Ms. Prevost had a polygraph done on both of us by the former police department chief polygraph examiner. It confirmed out positions on this case: that we had each thrown a cabbage at each other. It didn't impact the city prosecutors. Ms. Prevost did a police misconduct motion on the officers at the scene who falsely charged me with resisting/delaying and battery. it wasn't their first foray into lying on police reports, we learned. Ultimately, the case was dismissed. But it cost me a lot of money, and 8 long months of agony. The city prosecutor was a complete numbskull. I now have no faith in the legal system. But I do have faith in Mary Prevost. What caused me to hire her in the first place was not so much the AVVO client reviews, but the reviews from attorneys all over the country who apparently know her and know her work, and are comfortable providing glowing reviews. If other lawyers would use her, than I decided so would I. I did the right thing. She worked long and hard to get me out of this ridiculous mess.
