Dana Prescott, Lani Remick - Mental Illness Exploitation, Federal Complaint Pages 4-5.
A conceptual art video series – the art of documents; word art as advocacy. The video invites viewers to consider:
Legal records, lawyer writings, and court filings create descriptions of individuals. In cases involving mental illness, what lawyers write determines what people are—or what courts see them to be.
The words of lawyers like Dana Prescott and Lani Remick are not just false statements. They evidence mental illness exploitation, and stigma exploitation. By volume, severity, and repetition, they show intent to harm. Their documents show this plainly—their own words.
The complaint shows Lani Anne Remick and Dana E. Prescott, and the Prescott Jamieson Murphy Law Group, in Saco, Maine, placed nearly 200 false statements into court records, court officer emails, and court filings from 2017 to 2024.
Dana E. Prescott, licensed as both attorney and clinical social worker in Maine, along with Lani Remick, also placed false mental illness diagnoses—likely an unauthorized practice of medicine in Maine.
Repetition itself gave these lies weight. Every new filing reinforced prior falsehoods. Remick and Prescott made the false appear true—by repeating it almost 200 times.
The cumulative effect on the person was profound. Each new lie falsely corroborated past lies. Irrational animus, prejudice, and fear—stigma—were made fact in the eyes of courts.
Years of layering: Remick and Prescott ensured their false mental illness narrative would become permanent court “truth”—despite no clinical basis—unless the documents came out.
Dana Prescott, as an attorney, a licensed MSW, and a leader of NOFSW (the Nat’l Org. of Forensic Social Work), used his licenses to intentionally harm. The documents show Prescott and Remick exploited mental illness for money and their own self-gain.
Words placed in courts. False facts become true. Through sheer volume of repetition.
The video posits that courts cannot survive when lawyers like Dana Prescott and Lani Remick act this way.
Conceptual artists like Jenny Holzer, Trevor Paglen, and Jill Magid have shown how documents and texts gain power through form, format, and institutional placement. Writings by lawyers, especially on mental health, work the same way. Here, with malice.
This video invites viewers to contemplate how easily these lawyers replaced medical reality with false legal identity, reducing a real person to a procedural object—a legal stereotype: the mentally ill person, presumed of poor character, who will inevitably harm.
The video presents documents and words; the viewer interprets. The broader series explores: Complicity. Accountability. Culpability. And human, civil, and constitutional rights.
