Mary Prevost took our case all the way to District Court. She proved all along the way how willing she was to literally fight and "argue" for justice in our civil rights case. She went up against high powered "government attorneys" for both the City and the County. She NEVER backed down, nor was sh...e ever intimidated by opposing counsel at any point and time. When I say that Mary Prevost was relentless in our fight for justice...It is an understatement. Our case was a nightmare/complicated that involved fourth amendment right violations (illegal search and seizure), excessive force, and false imprisonment. A nightmare for my husband and I who had never even had a traffic ticket. Mary took the government attorney's on with no "fear". She has complete knowledge of both constitutional and criminal law. She fought every effort for the case to be dropped, and won at every turn. Finally, the case went to court where she proved how much smarter, knowledgable and trustworthy she is as a trial attorney. She won our case in District Court, and with it we received a very substantial settlement from a UNANIMOUS jury verdict. The chance to win against 5 Police Officers in a jury trial is less than .003% which makes her skill in the courtroom even more significant. Mary gives it all she has to get justice for her clients. Hire Mary Prevost for any criminal or civil case where you need the "Best" attorney...Mary is the "Best".

First, don't hire her if you want a babysitter, or someone to unload on. She doesn't have time. Hire her if you want to make sure your case gets the strongest defense. I was in a hotbed of trouble, brought on by my own sheer stupidity. I was looking at jail and losing my job. I can't tell you how m...uch I appreciate Mary's "take no prisoners" attitude. I walked away from a serious complaint, to a disturbing the peace. I thought I was a goner. Mary did her job, and she earned her money.

I hired Mary Frances because another attorney said she was fearless, and that's what I needed. The police had made a false allegation of resisting arrest, and I could not have that following me for the rest of my life. Mary Frances spent the time and energy on the case, and proved to the prosecutor... that the charges was false. My case was dismissed! I thought I was a cooked goose because people tend to always side the the police. My former lawyer told me to just plead guilty and get it over with. But Mary Frances did the investigation, and took the time to prove the cops were wrong.

A little over a year ago I was falsely accused of hitting a TSA officer at the Burbank airport and was put in the Burbank jail for over 6 hours. My first attorney got as far as a plea bargain with the prosecution. The pleas bargain was as follows: I needed to plead guilty, I would then be put on pr...obation to stay away from the Burbank airport for 6 months after which I would then go back into the court and rescind my guilty plea and they would dismiss the case. I told him I was not guilty and I would not plead guilty...he did not want to represent me in court so I needed to find a new attorney. I found Mary Frances Prevost via the internet. When I read her background I knew she was the attorney for me. She not only handles criminal cases, but she does civil as well. In addition to this, she also practices in both State and Federal courts. I wanted to have 1 attorney carry me through all of the legal proceedings and her credentials fit my needs. I had interviewed other local attorneys and most of them seemed to think that the plea bargain was a pretty descent offer. When Mary Prevost saw the video that I posted on U-Tube she immediately told me that I had a very strong case. Those were the words of encouragement that I needed to have. Finally I had someone on my side (even my family members wanted me to take the plea bargain). The Burbank City Attorney threatened me that he would press for the maximum penalty, including jail time if possible, if I did not take the plea bargain. Every time we went to court in the pre-trial mode the judges sided with the prosecution, even to the point of denying us the Discovery necessary to defend our case. I would get upset and frustrated (as I have never before dealt with anything like this before) and Mary Prevost just pressed forward. She told me not to worry and that everything was under control. Discovery continued to be denied to us so we finally went to the media. The case received coverage on CBS News, Inside Edition, various talk radio shows, and many news publications. If interested in the case, just Google “tsa applesauce”. The case is scheduled to be dismissed October 18, 2010. I don’t think I could have survived this ordeal if it had not been for Mary Prevost and her assistant Augustin Huerta. It’s nice to know when something comes my way (TSA is now trying to charge me a civil fine of $2500) that I can toss the ball to Mary Prevost and know that it will professionally handled. I highly recommend her.
