Hired Attorney Marc Pelta

I picked up a DUI in the Bay Area as on out-of-state resident, and had no idea what to expect. I reached out to Marc based primarily on reviews, and I'm glad I did. He was thoroughly professional, responsive, and explained the entire process to me. As a first time offender with no idea of what to expect, Marc walked me through the process, the options, and the decisions that needed to be made. I could not be happier to work with Marc and would highly recommend his services.

 
Response from Marc Pelta

Hired Attorney Marc Pelta

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.

 
Response from Marc Pelta
It is important to me to also represent my international clientele here in California, including students, so that you can move on with your lives.
