I was arrested and charged with DUI in Napa County. I've never been in trouble with the law before and did not know what to do. I just moved here from out-of-state. I found DUI defense lawyer, Marc Pelta, with the help of a website by Martindale Nolo. Even though I could not afford Mr. Pelta when I met with him, he agreed to hold the discounted price open for me until I was able to gather the funds. I was also pleased that Marc had experienced both defending and prosecuting DUI, and also, that he did not judge me. He let me know that he needed to represent me in both the DMV and Court aspects of the case, even after I told him that I was prepared to represent myself with the DMV hearing. After I got the Public Defender, Marc took over. I have not seen how the case has turned out yet, but so far I am very pleased with Marc's work.

We love Marc. He was supportive, offered us insights on how to move forward in a positive manner, and was instrumental guiding us through a difficult time with our daughter and CPS. Unfortunately, our daughter made some bad decisions with the help of her friends and made some false accusations of child abuse against me and my husband to get out of trouble. We did not know what to do or even where to go because this baseless accusation came out of nowhere in response to some privileges that we took away from her and some new rules we made in our home. Although it was only her word against ours, her two false accusations (after the first accusation was dealt with), she and CPS/HSA kept us plenty busy dealing with the back-to-back investigations that never seemed to end. Marc assured us that it would be okay and helped us navigate this minefield because we have our other children to also care for. I decided to hire him to defend us in this juvenile dependency matter that was ultimately not filed with the Court because of his experience. I highly recommend Marc Pelta, if you are looking for a good lawyer in this area of law. Thank you Marc!

Marc was hired on behalf of a friend who was on the receiving end of a civil restraining order. Despite our limited resources and time Marc appeared for a continuance. Marc guided us through the process with flying colors. The great part about Marc was his steady support throughout the process. On the day of trial the petitioning party was a no show. Case dismissed!

Marc is awesome! He took my call while he was on vacation! This goes well above and beyond the call of duty. From our brief conversation Mark demonstrated a strong understanding of law especially in the domain a fraud and I felt a sense of confidence that Mark knew what he was doing. Even though we hadn’t formally scheduled a consultation he was kind enough to answer a few questions regarding my case. He understood that what I was really looking for was peace of mind in knowing that everything would be okay. My case was a little unique in that I wasn’t actually facing litigation but open myself up to the possibility of it. Even so Mark was kind enough to hear me out even though I’m sure he has a ton of other cases that are much higher on his priority list. If I ever do find myself in trouble I’m definitely coming back to Marc!

I was recently charged with embezzlement with a previous employer and I was having a hard time navigating through this since it was my first offense (I had a clean record). I reached out to Marc Pelta and he handled my case extremely well. Not only was he knowledgeable, patient, persistent, and had great judgement as a lawyer, but a great individual to work with. He kept ensuring that I was in good hands and he would take care of everything (which he did). I was able to live comfortably during the case as well because Marc was putting in a great amount of effort behind the scenes. Marc is a kind, genuine individual who truly wants to help people and he makes sure you're taken care of. His rates are very reasonable for the amount of work he does! In the end, I was very happy with my results and Marc was able to persuade the DA to dismiss my case! I'm able to put this whole thing behind me and continue living my life.10/10 would hire him again.

I was arrested in Alameda County and charged with soliciting, even though I never agreed to do such a thing. The police decoy/undercover made a false accusation. I initially hired another lawyer and saw he was not responding to me nor keeping his word. I then found another experienced criminal defense lawyer, Marc Pelta. He met with me and assured me that he could help. Marc even requested various things from me that the first lawyer never asked for: family photos, proof of my employment and schooling. He did everything that he said he would do and the DA then met with us and personally told me that the case would not be filed against me. The prosecutor even told me that 'your lawyer wrote us an excellent letter and presentation packet representing you.' I am very pleased with that result because I am an immigrant and in the process to become a United States citizen along with my wife. Having the wrong lawyer could have had disastrous consequences for me and my family. This was also my first arrest. I had no idea what to expect. I am very happy that I hired Marc Pelta to represent and defend me, he did a perfect job.

I was arrested for a first DUI in Livermore, which is located in Alameda County. It was my first arrest. After searching on the internet, I found DUI defense attorney, Marc Pelta. Marc met with my father and I and we decided to hire him because of his experience prosecuting DUI. Although I did not get the wet-reckless deal from the DA that I wanted for a while, eventually the DA agreed to give it to me. I am happy with Mr. Pelta's work representing me.

Pelta law did a great job for us and got the exact results we were looking for. My daughter was harassed on line and Marc got all post removed and the guilty parties to admit they were wrong. All harassment has stopped. An excellent attorney. Highly recommended.

I am an international student attending an MBA program. I hired attorney Marc Pelta to defend me in San Francisco against someone seeking a Domestic Violence Restraining Order" against me. Marc was able to negotiate a settlement to avoid going to a hearing and gave me the certainty and peace of mind that I can move on with my life with no adverse consequences upon my future, including my immigration status. I am very glad I hired Marc Pelta as my lawyer.

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.

I decided to work with Marc Pelta because I felt that he would fight for me. I am pleased with my decision.
