Pelta Law - San Francisco, CA

Marc got back to me right away and provided me with outstanding legal advice and service. I recommend using him and his legal group.

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 represent me in a Civil Harassment Restraining Order case in San Francisco because I needed the help of someone who knew what he is doing.

"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.

I sought out Pelta Law the day after I was accused of driving under the influence in San Francisco. Marc Pelta was highly professional and his experience in prosecuting was of high importance to me.

I was arrested for DUI in the Mountain View area of Santa Clara County. I decided to hire Marc Pelta to defend me because he did a very good job representing another relative of mine. Marc fought for me in both the DMV and Court cases. He obtained a good result for me. I am glad that I hired him.

I hired criminal defense lawyer Marc Pelta because I was under investigation by the San Mateo District Attorney's Office for an incident that occurred in South San Francisco. Marc is a fantastic lawyer. He kept in continuous communication with me and assured me that the proper steps were being taken. He made me feel at ease. So far I have not been charged and I am very pleased with that outcome. In the unlikely event I will be charged then I will hire Marc to defend me in the case. Thanks again Marc.

Our son with no criminal record was arrested for domestic violence in San Francisco on Memorial Day weekend and was placed in jail with a "no bail warrant" status because SF is against using bail. We had to find a very good, experienced attorney fast. Fortunately we connected with Marc Pelta on a weekend! To make a long story short, Marc got our son released from jail with no criminal charges filed. We think he was an excellent choice. We saw the e-mails he sent to the elected DA himself and he fights like no other for his clients and knows what he is doing.

I am so grateful to Marc and would highly recommend his services. My boyfriend was arrested for domestic violence when a neighbor called the police during an argument. I was terrified that charges would be brought against him, that he would lose his job due to being in jail, and all of the other ways the situation could negatively affect our future. Marc was incredibly responsive and flew into action — on a holiday weekend no less. As a result of Marc’s expertise, legal advice, and tenacity, my boyfriend was released from jail quickly, and with ZERO criminal charges filed. Marc was an amazing choice to be my boyfriend’s criminal defense lawyer.

We truly appreciate your dedication and will recommend your law firm every chance we get!

Marc worked thoroughly and relentlessly through my case. He instilled confidence with me and my family with his charismatic nature and professional diligence.

I was unlawfully arrested by the San Rafael Police Department for allegedly being "drunk in public" because I refused to cooperate with the police who were trying to arrest my boyfriend. I was not sure if I should even hire a lawyer because there was a chance the DA might not charge me. I decided to not take that chance and have attorney Marc Pelta represent me to the Marin County District Attorney's Office and try to persuade them to not file a criminal charge against me. So far they have not charged me and I am pleased with that result."

I was arrested for felony child endangerment & DUI over a very minor car accident. Having hired Marc Pelta in the past as my criminal defense attorney, I felt that he would do a very good job trying to persuade the Marin County District Attorney's Office to not prosecute me. Child & Family Service (CFS) became involved. I was pleased with Marc's advice on how to deal with the CFS caseworkers, the department closed the file early not making it a case. To date I have not been charged with a crime by the DA either.

Our son was arrested on four felony charges. Having never dealt with the justice system we as parents were very nervous about finding the right representation. It was not a simple case and we needed a very good lawyer to handle it. We decided to hire criminal defense lawyer Marc Pelta to represent our son in court after interviewing a number of Law Firms. We appreciated that Marc was supportive in giving us the time to think over and discuss such an important decision. He took the time to meet with my son and wife to discuss the case. Marc guided us from beginning to end and ultimately got the case dismissed just in time for Christmas. Marc always followed-up with us to keep us informed of the progress he was making, including his reaching out to the other co-defense lawyers involved in the case, as some coordination was required. He went directly to the DA's Office to plead our son's case more than once and achieved a very nice outcome which is a huge relief for us.

I am facing a felony conviction in Napa County Superior Court based upon a false accusation. I decided to hire Marc Pelta because I could tell quickly after he reviewed my case that he had much greater knowledge and experience than the local criminal defense lawyer whom I hired. Since then Marc went above and beyond what I even expected him to do for me. I am very pleased with my decision to hire him to fight for me and am confident in his abilities.

I was arrested in Mountain View, Santa Clara County on highway 101 for DUI . I considered hiring a more "local" criminal defense lawyer to represent me; however, I decided to call Marc Pelta anyway because I had hired him in the past to represent my son in Alameda County where he did a very good job defending him. To save me money, Marc suggested he contact the District Attorney first and see what happens and only if they charged me then to pay the rest, if I wanted to stick with him. That's what we did and he is defending me in this DUI case very well. I can tell he cares about the outcome and always makes time to keep me informed about the progress of the case both in Court and with the DMV.

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.

A suggested review that you are free to edit is: "I am an international student attending an MBA program.
