Life Beyond Work

As part of Prescott & Prescott’s commitment to
give back to their community, each February,
the firm participates in the Juvenile Justice
Educators and Trainers Program (JJET). The
program is designed to function as a tool to help
young students understand the ramifications of
breaking the law. Attorney lead tours of the
Juvenile District Attorneys Office, Juvenile Hall,
the local courthouse, and a holding cell help illustrate
the consequences of unlawful behavior. While
learning about the judicial process, the regimented
daily schedule of inmates and participating in mock
trials, students are encouraged to make the right
choice to avoid regrettable consequences.

Additionally, concern for the protection and safety of victims of domestic abuse prompted Prescott & Prescott’s involvement with the Domestic Violence Program in Orange County. As an Orange County Superior Court sponsored program, volunteer attorneys assist victims in securing emergency restraining orders. The merits of this invaluable program are outlined in, “Orange County’s Domestic Violence Pilot Project”, an article written by Tonya and Valerie Prescott published in Orange County Lawyer.

Equally important is the time Valerie invests in the local community. Volunteering in the schools at a time when resources are scarce has proven to be invaluable. Her cheerful demeanor and willingness to assist teachers and administrators has helped maintain programs in the classroom. Valerie also enjoys lending her leadership skills to help organize events for local sports teams to the benefit of local families as well as her own children.
