Pelta Law - San Francisco, CA

We decided to hire Marc Pelta to represent us in two baseless cases for civil harassment restraining orders in San Mateo County Superior Court. In fact, the petitioner even lied to the police and got the DA to file charges against my wife that Marc Pelta also got dismissed. We had to replace our local San Mateo lawyer with Marc because we felt our previous attorney was not doing a good job. Marc gave us a clear plan from the start and did everything he said that he would do. In fact, we won our two cases and I did not even have to testify. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Marc Pelta as our lawyer. He worked tirelessly on our case and was worth every single penny! Marc has my absolute highest recommendation.

I decided to hire Marc Pelta to represent me in a baseless criminal case against me in San Mateo County Superior Court for battery. There was a crazy girl who made a false police report against me. I was scared and did not know what to do. We had hired a local attorney thinking that would be better … we were wrong. The first lawyer gave me bad legal advice to not speak with the police even though I was innocent and my story and proof made more sense than hers. This bad lawyer’s advice was part of why the DA took the case. So we had to get Marc to come in and clean up the mess. We needed to replace him and so we found Marc Pelta. Marc convinced the DA to dismiss the case! I could not be happier with my decision to hire Marc Pelta as my criminal defense lawyer. The difference between the two lawyers was night and day. Marc cared about my case and was determined to fight for me and my family. Many other lawyers would have thought that it was just a misdemeanor and not tried as hard. But Marc has passion and tenacity. When it came down to it. I was happy to have Marc advocating for me and he ultimately got the case dismissed.

Marc's legal assistance throughout this process was incredibly valuable. The case required patience, attention to detail, and follow-up, which I feel Marc provided. He genuinely wanted to help and he did.

I am very pleased that I hired attorney Marc Pelta to represent me. He did not overpromise and I could tell that he wanted to help me.

"I decided to hire Marc Pelta to defend me in a felony case in Napa because I could tell from reading his reviews and speaking with him on the phone that he is a pit-bull in the Courtroom, meaning he fights for his clients. His fee was affordable and he was always willing to listen to my point of view. I really appreciate how he has handed my case so far, including at Preliminary Hearing, where I feel that the person representing the DA got scared of Marc and found a reason to leave the hearing even before it was over, which to me showed they were afraid of losing to my lawyer." Best of all, Marc also has compassion for his clients and their concerns. Great listener! Highly recommend Marc

I was charged with misdemeanor battery in San Francisco Court, and I was the victim! Marc gave me a detailed second-opinion of how the case should be proactively litigated at my end. Even though I am represented by the Public Defender, I feel much better now that I have the opinion of a seasoned trial attorney and former prosecutor. Marc is always respectful and willing to help me, which I really appreciate. Marc encouraged me to take the case to trial and showed me why there is nothing to be afraid of by doing that.

Marc represented me in a delicate legal matter that required tact and discretion. I was very pleased with how available Marc was to meet and speak with me. I was surprised how soon someone was arrested after he advised me to report the person to the police. I think his former experience as a prosecutor helped. He was a great advocate for me and gave me good legal advice every step of the way. It involved getting a restraining order, and some other things. I highly recommend him.

Marc was such a pleasure to work with in all respects. Professionalism, compassion, creativity was always at a high standard whenever I would communicate with him whether it be in person, via email, or on the phone. Most of all, I felt like Marc was someone I can trust with his sound legal advice. Marc's availability is very impressive as well for he will be there when you need him and will fulfill his time commitments. Anyone needing sound, professional legal advice, Marc Pelta is your man.

I had a misdemeanor case in Monterey for using a knife, brandishing I think. We found attorney Marc Pelta through a family friend and he got the probation terminated early and the conviction was dismissed, expunged from my court records. I needed this for employment.

Hiring Marc Pelta was a very good decision for myself and for my case. He did an excellent job and guided me very professionally from the beginning to the end of my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of any kind of legal council. Give him a call, you won’t regret it.

I had several misdemeanor convictions with felony terms in a San Francisco matter. It was a White Collar theft case. Marc Pelta persuaded the District Attorney and the Judge to both terminate probation 2 years earlier than planned and had all of the convictions dismissed/expunged. Now I can move on professionally to another job.

My 15-year-old son was arrested in San Francisco for various criminal activity. He was never in trouble before and we did not know where to turn. We searched the Internet and found Marc Pelta. After meeting me and my son, we agreed to hire him. Marc fought every step of the way because the DA decided not to be lenient and play hard ball. Even getting my son out of Juvenile Hall took a lot out of all of us. I lost hope, but after almost 3 months, Marc never let up and finally got my son out. Marc got my son a good deal and, not only is he doing very well on probation, he has a promising future.

Marc is a lawyer that you can depend on. He is extremely knowledgable about the law and also exhibits compassion for his clients, both of which allow him to get to the best results. It's important to me to work with someone, especially in a serious situation, that is genuine, honest and tenacious. We were lucky to find Marc and I would highly recommend him if you need a great lawyer.

It was a juvenile felony delinquency case. My Son was charged with robbery with a knife. It could have been a strike, it was a serious and violent felony. After fighting with the prosecutor for months, Marc Pelta somehow got my Son a misdemeanor. We are very pleased with this result.

Mr. Pelta acted swiftly and with care to deal with my case. I enjoyed talking and learning from Mr. Pelta as well .

I was detained in Santa Clara County, California. I hired attorney Marc Pelta to try and persuade the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office to not file any criminal charge against me. Marc showed me from the beginning when we met that he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case and that his fee reflected the amount of work he would do, which was acceptable to me. Marc explained he would do the best an attorney could, but that it was illegal for him to guarantee that he would be successful. Surprisingly, Marc was successful and no charges were filed against me! I highly recommend Marc Pelta if you are looking to hire a very good criminal defense lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am a physician who was arrested for DUI drugs, possession of controlled substances in Los Angeles. The Medical Board of California filed a motion to suspend my license to practice medicine in the criminal case because the City Attorney notified the Board about the arrest. I hired attorney Marc Pelta who defeated that motion, decisively. I was skeptical he could win it because I had no prior experience with the intimidating nature of the criminal justice system beginning with the arrest and the constant issues that arose with the Medical Board. Marc Pelta addressed each issue, supported me and ensured I was able to continue working while understanding the whole legal process. No stone was left unturned by Marc. I highly recommend if you are a professional and value your license then hire Marc Pelta to defend you. I’m glad I did and miracle I found him.
