When your rights, prosperity and reputation are threatened by criminal charges, you need a strong defender on your side. When you choose Pelta Law, you are getting an experienced former criminal prosecutor who knows the criminal justice system inside and out. I work directly with my clients, taking a hands-on approach to each case I accept. I am a tough litigator who is ready and willing to go to trial to get the results my clients deserve. This stands in stark contrast to many California criminal defense lawyers, who prefer to reach plea agreements as quickly as possible to make cases go away.
