A former federal prosecutor with significant trial experience, Prieto practices in the areas of complex civil litigation and white collar criminal defense.

He has been recognized for his litigation skills as one of the “Top Lawyers in South Florida,” according to the South Florida Legal Guide, and is listed in Best Lawyers in America, Florida Trend's Legal Elite and Chambers USA, which praised him for being "thorough in his advice" to clients, and for his "trial experience and plain speaking good judgment."
