Representative Work
- As a prosecutor, Ms. Prentice brought justice to a wife and son who saw their father/husband gunned down in front of them.
- She joined a trial team that won fifty years against a man who tried to lock his wife in a house and set it on fire after murdering the family dog.
- She’s proud of bringing a sexual assault case to trial knowing she would lose. The victim (a minor) needed to tell her story. Ms. Prentice “got [her] ass kicked,” but upon returning to her office, her client left a note on her desk that said thanking her. Ms. Prentice was the only one that listened to her and fought for her.
- She won one of her first trials, despite the defense attorney’s attempt to bring in false evidence against her client.
