About Our Firm
The Prater Law Firm, PLLC was found in 2016 by Paul Prater. Paul had worked in two other firms and was the managing partner of one of those firms before striking out on his own to form The Prater Firm, PLLC.
The Prater Firm was started with the idea that legal services could be affordable and friendly. We strive to give personalized service to all of our clients. We want to not build a client base, but lasting relationships.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide each and every client with skilled legal advice in a timely and efficient manner. We handle every case with accountability and responsiveness. We know that hiring a lawyer is not the most fun thing to do, so Paul will treat you not just as a client, but as a friend.
We are dedicated to focusing on the legal aspects of your case, so that you can focus on your personal success. Our mission is based on the values we hold true: integrity, service and excellence.
