About Mary A. Prebula

Mary Prebula is dedicated to providing robust and assertive legal representation, particularly in navigating complex and challenging cases. Hailing from upstate New York and shaped by humble beginnings in the Pennsylvania mountains and eastern North Carolina, she emerged as the first college graduate in her family before embarking on her legal journey at Emory University Law School.

Equipped with a Juris Doctor degree obtained in 1984, Mary's legal acumen has been finely honed through her diverse educational background and active involvement in various legal societies during her time at Emory. Her commitment to excellence was recognized with the American Jurisprudence Award in Contracts in 1981, alongside multiple scholarships and memberships in esteemed legal associations.

Licensed to practice law in Georgia, Mary has traversed a remarkable career path, ranging from solo practitioner roles to contributing her expertise to a 2400-member international firm. Her clientele spans from individuals to prestigious entities, including a President of the United States and Fortune 50 companies, across a spectrum of legal matters such as discrimination claims, contract disputes, and family law.

Mary's professional accolades reflect her unwavering dedication and outstanding performance in the legal field. She has been honored by the State Bar with the Tradition of Excellence General Practice award, a testament to her exceptional contributions. Additionally, her peers have consistently recognized her with the AV Preeminent rating in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers©, signifying the highest standards of legal ability and ethical conduct.

Beyond her legal practice, Mary is deeply committed to advancing women in the legal profession and promoting access to justice. As a past President of the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers, she spearheaded initiatives such as establishing a scholarship fund for women law students and played a pivotal role in founding Gwinnett Legal Aid.
