Priscilla L. Berthold
Attorney at Law
About Me
Being a criminal attorney has been my passion since childhood! I was unsure of how to get started until volunteering at a law office doing paralegal work made me decide to go to law school. I enjoyed everything about it. I was involved in Moot Court and Trial Workshops, received the Book Award for Law Office Management, and managed to finish in 2 ½ years—half a year sooner than most. It was an exciting time!
In January 2023, I started my own law office. I enjoy my job and truly love helping my clients. It is such a pleasure guiding and directing them to better opportunities and better decision making.
To me, being an attorney is more than just showing up in court, but includes caring for and supporting my clients through each stage of the criminal process.
I am available to my clients seven days a week, and if they leave a message, I will get back with them within 24 hours. It is important that clients understand the charges and both present and future consequences. As a defense attorney, I promise my clients that I will be truthful with them and will work tirelessly to get the best possible outcome for their case. If you need legal representation, you can reach out to me and know without a doubt that you will be represented zealously and diligently!
Professionalism
Professionalism is a must. It is non-negotiable that my staff and I maintain a professional law firm.
Ethics
It is essential to me that all of my clients know that my morals & values will not be compromised.
Quality
The quality of my work is very important to me because it represents my character.
Experience
My office not only offers clients legal experience but a lot of common sense and life experience.
Training
I have special training in OVI/DUI
I took OVI classes through National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NTSHA)—the same training mandated for State Highway Patrol officers—because representing clients for OVI/DUI requires detailed knowledge of how the Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) is performed. A client needs their attorney to know each part of a stop, the procedures and requirements, in order for the attorney to represent them well.
This training enables me to give my clients the best representation.
