We hired Marc to represent our son who was falsely accused of Domestic Violence on Catalina Island in Los Angeles during a family Christmas vacation which quickly turned into a nightmare. Marc persuaded the District Attorney to not file a criminal case against our son. We are very pleased with this result!

I hired Marc to represent my son. This time it was a for felony domestic violence and false imprisonment in San Mateo County because of an arrest in Foster City. He persuaded the D.A. to not charge my son with any crime. My wife and I are very pleased with this result.

I hired Marc after he was already hired to represent a relative of mine. I then hired Marc to work with me as co-counsel in a Domestic Violence Restraining Order petition case for a client in Santa Clara County. Working with Marc was a tremendous asset in ensuring a positive outcome for my client.

I was prosecuted for pretty theft in San Mateo County. The DA would not agree to Diversion. However, Marc persuaded the Judge to give me a break for Diversion because I am an outstanding person. I like the outcome because the case will eventually be formally dismissed in a year. Just trust Marc!

I don't leave long reviews, but it's my pleasure to make an exception here. Attorney Marc Pelta is a refreshingly straightforward lawyer  who takes care of business! I would give him 10 stars if I could. An associate recommended Pelta Law who resolved some complex family problems for him and my case had issues that needed a professionals attention. You need to have an open mind and realistic expectations when dealing with the California courts because nothing is set in stone. That’s why it was important for me to find an experienced lawyer. Mr. Pelta has the experience and the skills to back it up! From our first consultation, it was clear that Mr. Pelta has a deep understanding of the law and a sharp mind. He quickly grasped the complexities of my case (where other attorneys did not) and created a game plan that ended up working well beyond our expectations. Btw, if my results would have been different, I still would have left a positive review. Mr. Pelta truly cared about my case and that's rare! Throughout the process, Mr. Pelta predicted almost every step and his attention to detail was spot on. He was patient and kind to me when I did not understand certain things. He put’s in the time folks. Mr. Pelta has a confident demeanor in the courtroom and his negotiation skills are impressive. It’s a different California today and it sometimes feels like we're back in the wild west. The courts reflect that and it seems like your case can change directions quickly like the wind. I felt fortunate to have Mr. Pelta in my corner and I bet you will too.

Attorney Mark Pelta's reassuring words during my child's dependency case turned out to be misleading. Despite claims of expertise in CPS and family law systems, I later discovered his lack of experience through his own LinkedIn profile. During the trial, criticisms from other attorneys surfaced, and unsettling behavior was noted by key witnesses and supportive services workers. To add insult to injury the attorney refused to return photographs of my child which he requested as evidence for the court proceedings.

During **my child's dependency case**, I had high hopes when I hired **Attorney Mark Pelta**. He assured me of his expertise in **CPS and family law systems**, as well as handling **domestic violence cases**. However, my optimism quickly faded. First, I discovered that his claims didn't align with reality. His **LinkedIn profile** revealed a lack of relevant experience. During the trial, other attorneys criticized him, and **unsettling behavior** was noted by key witnesses and supportive services workers. To make matters worse, Attorney Pelta **refused to return photographs** of my child, which were crucial evidence for the court proceedings. Despite paying him **$10,000 upfront**, he attempted to charge me an additional **$5,000 for a restraining order** that had been lodged against me. This left me feeling frustrated and betrayed. In the end, Attorney Pelta **lost my case**. His threat of "harassing an officer of the court" was both unprofessional and alarming. Throughout the process, he made other **rude remarks**, further adding to my disappointment. Having gone through this experience, I now understand the importance of competent legal representation. If you find yourself in a similar situation, consider seeking advice from a different attorney or a legal organization that genuinely supports your case and prioritizes your child's well-being.

Oh my god!!! What can I say.... Marc is a highly professional, highly skilled attorney I have ever met. His former prosecutor experiences enable him to utilize years of valuable trial experience as a prosecutor, with insight most criminal defense lawyers lack!

I was facing a first DUI in SF with fines that would be a big burden on me. Marc basically got me a wet reckless which meant no fines, no jail, and I only had to do certain classes which is very doable for me. Marc also followed-up with me to ensure I would get my restricted license from the DMV.

My wife and I needed Marc's help with a sensitive identity theft issue that he took the time to help us navigate because of the serious financial and legal implications.

Marc came highly recommended by a Beverly Hills Law Firm. He represented me in two major Federal matters. I could not be more pleased. Excellent results! Thanks Marc!

After I received a communication from the CHP I decided to retain Marc Pelta as my attorney. Marc explained everything to me clearly and was extremely patient. Marc informed me that I was being investigated for a very minor hit and run which I knew was a false accusation. Marc then contacted the DMV to help me ensure that my drivers license would not be revoked. This worked and and I never heard from the DMV again.
