Bay Area Felony Defense
From a Former Prosecutor

Pelta Law focuses on felony defense and also represents people facing misdemeanor charges. Marc Pelta works directly with clients from his San Francisco office.

Felony defense comes first. Misdemeanor cases matter, too.

A criminal charge deserves careful attention, whether it is filed as a felony or a misdemeanor. Contact Marc about the charge, the county and the next court date. A conflict check comes before discussion of the case facts.

• Felony defense: serious criminal allegations, investigations and trial preparation.
• Misdemeanor defense: representation for misdemeanor criminal charges.
• DUI defense and repeat DUI.
• Assault and battery and domestic violence.
• Drug offenses and Three Strikes allegations.

Pelta Law also handles restraining orders, professional licensing matters and juvenile matters.

A no-charge initial case review

Marc offers a no-charge 20-minute initial phone review of a criminal matter, by arrangement and after a conflict check. The review helps establish the issue and whether the firm can take the case. Legal representation is paid and provided on a flat-fee basis, with the scope and fee agreed before work begins.

Call 415-963-1152, text Marc or email marc@peltalaw.com. Start with contact information, the county and any approaching court date. Do not send case facts or documents in an initial message.

For attorneys referring a criminal matter

Pelta Law welcomes felony and misdemeanor referrals from other attorneys for Marc to handle directly. There is no requirement to exchange referrals. Marc also considers second opinions, trial consulting and co-counsel work by agreement. Read the referral process.

A San Francisco practice serving the Bay Area

The practice serves San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, Marin, Solano, Sonoma and Napa counties. The office is at 1390 Market Street, Suite 200, San Francisco. Appointments are by arrangement.

Marc answers calls personally when available. If he cannot answer, leave your name, callback number, county and any approaching court date. Do not leave case details. An inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.
