Marc Pelta

During my dependency case, I was desperate for a new attorney. I came across attorney Marc Pelta. What was supposed to be competent representation quickly became a nightmare. Mr. Pelta exhibited aggressive, inappropriate behavior in court, misrepresented his knowledge of dependency law, and ou...tright lied about what he was capable of handling. This wasn’t just my impression — the judge overseeing the case recognized serious issues, ultimately resulting in removing him from the case. Unfortunately, by then, the damage was done. His mishandling contributed directly to my loss of custody. It’s disturbing how often parents in dependency and family court are forced to rely on attorneys who are unprepared or careless with the futures of children and families. This isn’t just my story — it’s a widespread problem in a system with little oversight or accountability. I’m continuing to fight for my son, for due process, and for reforms so that other parents aren’t subjected to incompetent representation that leads to devastating, life-altering outcomes. If you’ve experienced similar failures in the child welfare or family court system, or would like to support calls for oversight and change, please reach out or share your story.

I ended up with a DUI in the Bay Area, first time offender and out of state. I found Marc based on his reviews, and could not have been happier to have him guide me through the process. He was thoroughly professional, managed all of my expectations, and helped me through the entire process. I could n...ot have hoped for any better representation in this matter.

I hired Marc to represent me because of a Felony arrest involving an ex-girlfriend in South San Francisco, San Mateo County. Marc contacted the District Attorney for me to find out if they will press charges against me. I also hired Marc because that ex stole my cell phone and filed a baseless Dome...stic Violence Restraining Order against me in Alameda County Superior Court in Hayward. I then felt that I had to file a DVRO in San Francisco Superior Court after which I decided to then hire Marc Pelta to represent me in all of these pending matters. So far I am pleased with the services I have received. Marc even went the extra mile and agreed to advise me in a pending academic disciplinary process because the issue with the ex involved our graduate school where we were being trained to become doctors.

I contacted and hired Marc for representation for a speeding ticket over 100MPH in San Mateo County. Marc was professional and prompt with his aid, and my outcome was favorable with only 1 point on my record as opposed to 2. I was pretty concerned when getting this ticket, but having Marc throughout ...this process has been a relief. Overall, though I hope/plan to not need his services in the future, would absolutely retain him again.

I had a very difficult case… first DUI with a refusal… Marc landed the best settlement possible… I am extremely happy with his post case attention. The courts didn’t take away my license but the dmv did. Marc is working towards helping me get my Interim license so I can legally get to work! He also ...is assisting me with my community service and DUI programs. I highly recommend you hire a lawyer with his skills and expertise!
