Meet Attorney Marc Pelta
Marc grew up in Southern California and graduated with a B.A. from San Francisco State University.
During law school, Marc attended the respected City University of New York School of Law that has turned out some of the finest attorneys practicing today in the USA. He rolled up his sleeves and volunteered in the Queens County, Los Angeles & San Francisco District Attorney’s Offices, & in the United States’ Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, New York, in addition to serving as a Civil Rights extern with the New York Attorney General Office’s Civil Rights Division. Marc wanted hands on experience with the judicial litigation system instead of relying solely on theoretical coursework from taking classes in law school. Moreover, Marc also volunteered in the Chambers of the Honorable New York Supreme Court Justice Robert Charles where he learned about felony and misdemeanor criminal cases from a judge’s perspective before, during and after trial. Finally, Marc volunteered in the investigations section of the United States’ Commodity Futures Trading Commission involving such well-known cases as Enron & Dynegy Marketing and Trade.
After passing the California Bar Exam and being admitted to practice law in California, Marc served three years in the Del Norte County District Attorney’s Office in Crescent City, California.

- Accompanying law enforcement on raids and patrols

Marc decided to move on from the District Attorney’s Office and turned his passion as a prosecuting attorney into defending the rights of clients in criminal, restraining order, and professional licensing cases.
Feel free to ask Marc more about his credentials, including his time as a prosecutor and his 10 plus years of criminal defense experience.
“Allow me to build you an aggressive strategy customized for the needs of your situation, whether it is a criminal investigation, a criminal OR restraining order case, or a State licensing agency matter that can withstand the scrutiny of the prosecutors, judges and juries. I know how to use the burden that the law places on the prosecutor/petitioner/respondent to prove their case against my clients. Having worked inside prosecution & and criminal defense offices, I understand the criminal justice system from both sides. This dual perspective enables me to provide strategic counsel and aggressive representation for clients throughout the entire process, whether we’re preventing charges from being filed or fighting them in court. Pelta Law effectively advises, defends, and represents clients in a broad spectrum of misdemeanor and felony cases, including pre-filing, pre-trial, and trial stages. Moreover, I represent clients in Restraining Order and State licensing agency investigations and hearing. While I enjoyed my time as a prosecutor, I opened my own private practice because representing clients is my true passion.”

Affordable, Aggressive Advocacy
Attorney Marc Pelta directly takes a hands-on approach to each client he accepts. This stands in stark contrast to many California criminal defense & civil litigators who prefer to reach agreements as quickly as possible to make cases go away, and often not on the terms that could have accommodated a client’s goals.
Pelta Law handles criminal, adult and juvenile investigations and cases involving both misdemeanors and felony cases in Superior and Federal Court across the State of California.
Attorney Marc Pelta also has extensive experience representing and advocating for clients in restraining order litigation, such as:
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Civil Harassment Restraining Orders
Elder Abuse Restraining Orders
“I am a tough litigator who is ready and willing to go to trial to get the results my clients deserve. It is important to me that we pursue the best possible outcome, as I know what is at stake. The impact of a Restraining Order on your future can be terrifying. I work to minimize the negative consequences to your life, reputation and future because you deserve a second chance!”
~Attorney Marc Pelta
Marc is admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States, which is not extended to just any lawyer. Furthermore, Pelta Law represents clients in Federal investigations such as Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), in addition to representing clients who are defendants in criminal cases in Federal Court.
