01Refer a criminal matter to Marc
The referral program brings matters to Marc for him to handle. It does not require reciprocal referrals or sending a client's case elsewhere.
Start with your name, firm, callback number, county, broad charge category and any approaching court date or custody concern. Ask how to provide the names needed for a conflict check before sending documents or substantive case details.
Marc reviews each inquiry for conflicts, scope and availability. Representation begins only when agreed. Discuss any updates to referring counsel with Marc and the client; no automatic sharing of case information is promised.
The practice emphasizes felony defense and also accepts misdemeanor matters, including DUI and domestic violence defense.
02Second opinions, trial consulting and co-counsel
Contact Marc to discuss a defined review or role on a pending criminal matter. Scope, availability, responsibilities and fees are agreed for that matter. A request for a second opinion does not extend a deadline or keep a plea offer open. Existing counsel remains responsible unless the representation changes.
03Conflicts and fees
A referring firm's conflict does not establish that Pelta Law can accept a case. Marc conducts a separate conflict check. Any lawyer-to-lawyer fee division is discussed separately and documented only if applicable; it is not a condition of making a referral.
04Contact Marc directly
Call 415-963-1152, text Marc or email marc@peltalaw.com. Marc answers when available; if a call goes to voicemail, leave contact and scheduling information only.
Office: 1390 Market Street, Suite 200, San Francisco. Appointments by arrangement.
