Pelta Law was established by former prosecutor and veteran criminal defense attorney Marc Pelta to use his past training & experience as a prosecutor with the DA combined with his more than a decade of criminal (& juvenile) defense experience to champion the rights of his clients even in Restraining Order cases.
Marc uses his specialized knowledge and skill to fight for clients in criminal and restraining order cases that include:
- DUI
- Domestic Violence
- All Misdemeanors
- All Felonies
- Civil Harassment Restraining Orders
- Domestic Violence Civil Harassment Restraining Order Cases
- Elder Abuse Restraining Orders
Marc is a tough litigator with extensive trial experience should a case need that option, whereas most lawyers do not offer that. This sharply differs from the approach of many attorneys who often encourage clients to agree to unfavorable deals or settlements in order to avoid going to trial or just to end the case sooner and move on to the next client's case.
Marc analyzes each client's case with a sharp eye while keeping in mind what the prosecutor's perspective may be in order to get the best possible deal for the client or the best possible victory from fighting the case in court in front of a judge.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
