Prescott & Prescott’s Community Outreach
Prescott & Prescott is committed to giving back to its community through its participation in the Juvenile Justice Educators and Trainers Program (JJET) each February. The program serves as a tool to educate young students about the consequences of breaking the law, with attorney-led tours of the Juvenile District Attorney’s Office, Juvenile Hall, the local courthouse, and a holding cell.
Education on the Consequences of Criminal Behavior
Through JJET, young students gain an understanding of the judicial process, the daily routines of inmates, and participate in mock trials, encouraging them to make the right choices and avoid regrettable consequences. The program is an effective means of illustrating the ramifications of unlawful behavior, helping to ensure that students understand the importance of following the law.
Domestic Violence Program
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 Holden published in Orange County Lawyer.
Valerie’s Commitment to Community Volunteering
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. A responsible corporate citizen, 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.
“Prescott Holden Family Law did more than live up to their reputation in winning my custody case.”
Valerie Prescott Holden put my concerns at ease with her pleasant but straight forward approach to securing my right to see my daughter as much as possible. Her staff simply could not have been more helpful or easy to work with. Michelle, in particular, went above and beyond for us on more than one occasion when time was of the essence, she flat out made it happen when the heat was on. Just a tremendous legal team that gets things done.
