Client Testimonials
"With Grace, There's Always a Second Chance"
Zino O. Osehobo, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Criminal charges in Glendale and the greater Los Angeles area can be devastating — emotionally, financially, and socially. At Grace Legal Group, we understand that most people who find themselves in the criminal justice system don’t need punishment — they need support, guidance, and an opportunity to change their course. That’s why we approach every case with empathy, cultural awareness, and a commitment to restoring lives, not just fighting charges.
Below are the most commonly filed criminal offenses in Glendale, and how we defend our clients with both legal precision and human compassion:
1. Assault & Battery
California Penal Code § 240 / § 242
In Glendale, law enforcement aggressively prosecutes even minor altercations. Assault (PC § 240) involves the attempt to use force, while battery (PC § 242) is the actual use of physical force — even something as simple as a push or slap can lead to criminal charges.
Potential consequences:
Jail time (6 months or more)
Probation, community service, or anger management
Felony charges if a weapon or serious injury is involved
At Grace Legal Group, we work diligently to reduce charges or negotiate alternative resolutions, such as anger management programs, to avoid a permanent criminal record.
2. Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
California Vehicle Code § 23152
DUI arrests are common in Glendale due to high traffic volume and strict law enforcement. It is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or more.
Potential consequences:
License suspension
Mandatory DUI education programs
Jail time (especially for second or third offenses)
Ignition interlock device (IID) requirements
We aim to reduce or dismiss DUI charges by challenging the evidence, questioning the validity of the traffic stop, and seeking alternative sentencing options such as rehab programs.
3. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code §§ 29800, 25400
Firearm-related offenses in Glendale can carry severe penalties. These charges include unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, or being a prohibited person with a gun.
Potential consequences:
Misdemeanor or felony charges
Mandatory minimum sentencing
Probation restrictions
Loss of gun rights
Our team examines the legality of the firearm’s possession and challenges improper searches or seizures to potentially reduce or dismiss charges.
4. Theft and Property Crimes
California Penal Code § 484(a) / § 488
Theft, including petty theft and shoplifting, is one of the most commonly filed charges in Glendale, especially in high-traffic shopping areas. Even non-violent property crimes can carry harsh legal consequences.
Potential consequences:
Misdemeanor conviction
Up to 6 months in county jail
Criminal record affecting future employment or housing
Mandatory restitution
We explore diversion programs, civil compromise, or record-sealing options to avoid long-term consequences for first-time offenders and individuals with limited criminal history.
5. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence charges in Glendale can have long-lasting consequences, especially in cases where multi-generational or close-knit family structures are involved. A single accusation can tear families apart and destroy futures.
Potential consequences:
Up to 1 year in jail (misdemeanor) or 4 years in prison (felony)
Restraining orders
Loss of gun rights and custody disputes
Court-mandated counseling
At Grace Legal Group, we defend against false accusations, advocate for alternatives to incarceration, and work to reduce or dismiss charges wherever possible.

We want to make sure that you don’t just move on from your case but rebuild your life and have the tools to succeed moving forward.
