Supreme Court-Caliber Attorney
Mr. Prescott handled our constitutional challenge in the Southern District of Georgia with extraordinary skill. His Supreme Court admission and deep understanding of constitutional law were evident from our first meeting. He crafted arguments that were both legally rigorous and persuasive. The judge ruled in our favor on all counts. An exceptional federal litigator.

Best Federal Appellate Lawyer in the Southeast
After losing at the district court level, we retained Mr. Prescott for our appeal to the 11th Circuit. His appellate brief was a masterwork of legal writing. He identified a circuit split that ultimately worked in our favor. The panel reversed the lower court's decision unanimously. His CLE presentations on federal appellate practice should tell you everything about his expertise.

Brilliant RICO Defense
Facing federal RICO charges was the most frightening experience of my life. Mr. Prescott's expertise in federal criminal procedure and his experience across multiple federal districts gave me confidence from day one. He methodically dismantled the prosecution's case and secured a complete acquittal. His pro hac vice work in the Southern District of New York showed his reach extends well beyond Georgia.
