Marc Pelta

I decided to hire Marc Pelta after being given the runaround by the police when I filed a police report and sought legal representation to obtain a restraining order against someone whose actions had caused me significant harm. Marc has been incredible in his communication, attentiveness, and genuine... care for my case. Thanks to his guidance and the work he has done so far, I feel much safer, both mentally and physically. I’m extremely grateful to have him representing me!

After I was arrested for misdemeanor Domestic Violence in Santa Clara County, I hired Marc Pelta because I’m not a U.S. citizen yet, and I’m really worried about what a conviction could mean for my immigration status. My wife and I have children and stable jobs, and I don’t want to be deported or hav...e anything happen that could affect my ability to stay here with my family. Marc was able to persuade the District Attorney to consider allowing me to get a dismissal if I can present a good mental health diversion plan. I really like that approach, and my wife does too. I feel like it gives me an opportunity to work on myself while also avoiding a criminal conviction that could seriously hurt me when it comes to my immigration status.

I hired Marc to represent me in both an arrest for Domestic Violence & because my wife and I filed petitions for Domestic Violence Restraining Orders against each other. Marc persuade the District Attorney to not file a criminal case against me. After seeing how Marc fought for me in court, my wife... hired her own lawyer for the DVRO case. I specifically hired Marc because the outcome of a DV arrest & a DVRO case can negatively affect my future as an officer in the US Coast Guard. Marc fought for me at every hearing and my wife had a tough lawyer, as well. I am impressed with how he represented me so far.

I was arrested for a Domestic Violence felony in Kensington, Contra Costa County. Unfortunately, this triggered a CPS investigation. Marc has been guiding me in how to handle it and I am pleased with his advice and guidance. He also represents me in the felony arrest that is pending and hopefully... will not be charged by the District Attorney of Contra Costa.

I hired Marc to represent my son because he was falsely accused in a Felony Domestic Violence-related arrest involving an ex-girlfriend. As a result, multiple DVROs were filed in Alameda and San Francisco counties by both parties. Marc's knowledge and expertise has given our family peace of mind du...ring a very stressful time. Marc also reached out to the DA's office to obtain verification as to whether any charges will be filed and his experience with various court jurisdictions is a plus. So far I am pleased with the services Marc has provided my son. Marc even went the extra mile and agreed to advise him in a pending academic disciplinary process because the issue with the ex involved his graduate school where his is being trained to become a doctor.
