Louisa Belle Pensanti

I took a troubled teen into my home and was charged with 15 counts of child molestation. I was facing life the way that I was charged. It was risky and nerve wracking but I took it to trial. I was and am innocent. A jury agreed. I went to trial with Louisa Pensanti was found not guilty. She's a class... act.

We live in Compton and were horrified to learn that our 26 - year - old son had sex with a 13 - year - old girl while they were both under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Besides being impaired he did not know the girls' age, as she looked and acted really mature. To make things worse he admitted... what he had done to detectives. The District Attorney wanted to send him to prison 6 years. They were very serious, stubborn and intent on that. Intead Ms Pensanti arranged for a 90 day evaluation where he was sent to a prison to determine whether he was worthy of probation. Their eventual recommendation was for a state prison term. We knew that our son's actions were wreckless and criminal but felt strongly that prison would ruin his future. Attorney Pensanti and her team then brought in an expert who, along with her convincing argument caused the judge to grant probation. With their help we got our son home. We are a close Latin American family. We strongly recommend her.
