Client Testimonials
Grace legal group has been very helpful throughout my entire court process and have stuck with me since last year . My representative Zino himself is great when it comes to staying in touch with me and having me updated on the next hearing . He was super easy to talk too about the case/ situation and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the whole process. If I ever need an attorney again . I’d come to Grace legal , and ask for Zino.
Felix T.Zino will fight for you no matter the circumstances, he believes in second chance and truly believes in his clients true wishes and desires , after searching multiple places for a trustworthy attorney I wouldn’t choose anyone but zino
Alfred M.Zino has a great personality! He laid out an achievable plan to reach our goal. Although it didn’t play out exactly how we thought (what ever does?), our goal was met ans described and the job got done in timely fashion. His empathy, compassion, and support for his client is not teachable, you either have it or you don’t. Zino is a great person! I highly recommend him.
Zachary A.They did a great job a representing me in my situation. It was a bit drawn out of process but in the end it was worth it for our success. Thank you so much Grace legal team. 🥰. I hope I don't need you again but if I do, I got you in speed dial.
Eileen P.I happened to stumble upon this law firm in looking for a lawyer for my husband one day at lunch. After meeting with Zino we hired him before even leaving the office. He was good about communicating what possibilities we were facing. Once court started we realized that we would have a whole team supporting us. The team has been very supportive during this hard time and we are grateful for their continued support.
Miesha H.Mr. Zino, helped my family, my son was looking at a life sentence, when I spoke with Mr. Zino I said all I want is the life sentence taken off the table and that’s what he did, we went from life to 38 years to 15 years, what a blessing Mr. Zino is. I want to thank you and your staff for working so hard and diligent on my sons case. Thank you all again, sending much love.
Sonya F.Zino and Tara helped me through a complex case where the city DA wanted a conviction. Through a new law, Zino got me out of the conviction and removal from any arrest record or conviction from my record. I would recommend Zino and the Grace Legal Firm with my highest recommendation.
Justin E.Great guys. I appreciate all they did for me.

Zino O. Osehobo, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Being charged with a crime in La Mirada can disrupt every part of your life — from your job and family to your freedom and future. At Grace Legal Group, we know that behind every charge is a person with a story. Our team brings cultural awareness, legal expertise, and restorative advocacy to every case we take, ensuring you receive not only defense — but dignity.
Here are some of the most common criminal offenses filed in La Mirada and how we work to protect our clients from life-altering consequences.
1. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code §§ 29800, 25400
Unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, or being a prohibited person with a gun can all result in serious legal consequences. In La Mirada, heightened law enforcement scrutiny around firearm-related offenses can lead to arrests even when no harm occurred.
Potential consequences:
Misdemeanor or felony charges
Mandatory minimum sentencing
Probation restrictions
Loss of gun rights
We investigate the legality of searches, question possession claims, and pursue reduced or dismissed charges wherever possible.
2. Sex Crimes
California Penal Code §§ 243.4, 288, 261
Allegations involving sexual misconduct — from indecent exposure to more serious felony charges — are extremely sensitive and can permanently impact your reputation, family, and employment. Even a false accusation can carry devastating consequences.
Penalties may include:
Lengthy prison terms
Mandatory sex offender registration
Probation and GPS monitoring
Lifetime reputation damage
We approach these cases with discretion, challenge unreliable testimony or delayed reporting, and protect your constitutional rights at every step.
3. Attempted Crimes
You can still be charged even if the alleged crime was never completed. Attempt charges — whether related to theft, assault, or another offense — carry significant penalties and often rely on limited evidence.
Common consequences:
Up to half the sentence of the completed crime
Felony record
Probation and mandatory programs
We scrutinize the facts to show lack of intent, abandonment of effort, or legal impossibility, all of which can weaken or defeat an attempted crime charge.
4. Gang-Related Charges
California Penal Code § 186.22
Under California’s gang enhancement laws, any criminal charge — from vandalism to assault — can carry significantly harsher penalties if prosecutors believe it was committed “for the benefit of a criminal street gang.”
Consequences may include:
Mandatory prison terms
Sentence enhancements
Felony strikes under the Three Strikes Law
We fight gang enhancements by challenging gang classifications, associations, and the alleged motivation behind the crime.
5. Civil Harassment
California Code of Civil Procedure § 527.6
Civil harassment restraining orders can be filed by anyone who claims to have suffered stalking, threats, or unwanted contact outside a domestic relationship. These cases are increasingly common in disputes between neighbors, former friends, or coworkers in La Mirada.
Outcomes may include:
Long-term restraining orders
Restrictions on where you can live or go
Impact on firearm ownership
Criminal penalties if violated
We defend clients by challenging false claims, offering evidence of peaceful conduct, and ensuring your side is fully represented in court.

Cases We Handle
With Grace legal Group, Inc. You have another chance.
How Our Defense Process Works For You
Facing criminal charges in La Mirada can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even life-altering — especially if this is your first encounter with the justice system. At Grace Legal Group, our role as your La Mirada criminal defense attorney goes far beyond court appearances and legal filings. We approach every case with humanity, respect, and an unshakable belief that one mistake should not define your future.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose Grace Legal Group to fight for you:
Step 1: Schedule a Free Consultation
It all starts with a direct conversation. When you call our office, you’ll speak with a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney serving La Mirada — not an assistant or a call center. We take the time to hear your story, answer your initial questions, and explain your rights and legal options with clarity and honesty.
Step 2: Investigate, Evaluate, and Build a Personalized Strategy
Once you retain us, our team gets to work immediately. We gather evidence, scrutinize police reports, interview witnesses, and examine whether your constitutional rights were violated at any point. As your La Mirada criminal defense lawyer, we also focus on understanding your personal history, challenges, and goals — because your story matters.
We explore all available legal alternatives, including diversion programs, mental health support, or rehabilitation-focused outcomes — not just traditional punishments.
Step 3: Strategic and Compassionate Courtroom Advocacy
From your arraignment to trial (if necessary), we represent you with skill and determination. We aim for dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable plea deals — always advocating for your best possible outcome. You will never be pressured into a choice that doesn’t align with your values and your future.
You’ll also be kept informed and supported every step of the way — no legal jargon, no surprises, just clear guidance and advocacy.
Step 4: Ongoing Support and Reentry Guidance
Our commitment to you doesn’t end in the courtroom. After your case is resolved, we assist with expungements, probation compliance, and connect you with reentry services such as job programs, education, and counseling. At Grace Legal Group, we help turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.
At Grace Legal Group, we don’t just handle legal cases — we help people rebuild their lives. If you or someone you love is facing criminal charges, a La Mirada criminal defense attorney from our team is ready to defend your rights, your dignity, and your second chance.
If you are arrested in La Mirada, your criminal case will typically be handled at the Norwalk Courthouse, located at 12720 Norwalk Blvd., Norwalk, CA 90650. Grace Legal Group has extensive experience in this courthouse and understands its procedures, judges, and prosecutors.
If you’ve been arrested, it’s critical to stay silent and request an attorney. Do not speak to law enforcement or agree to any searches or questioning until you’ve spoken with a qualified La Mirada criminal defense attorney. Contact Grace Legal Group as soon as possible — the earlier we get involved, the stronger your defense can be.
You can check your court date through the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s online system, or by calling the Norwalk Courthouse directly. Our firm can also verify your court date and help you track deadlines to ensure you never miss a critical appearance.
Yes — many clients facing charges such as DUI, theft, drug possession, or even domestic violence may qualify for alternatives like diversion programs, probation, or treatment-based resolutions. Grace Legal Group fights to minimize penalties and keep our clients out of custody whenever possible.
We represent clients in a wide range of cases, including:
Juvenile crimes
Probation violations
Expungements and record sealing
Missing court can result in a bench warrant for your arrest and additional charges. If you missed a date, contact our office immediately. We can often help resolve the warrant and request a new hearing to keep you out of jail.
Absolutely. First-time offenders often mistakenly assume they’ll receive leniency, but without a lawyer, you risk serious consequences. We work to protect your record, reduce charges, and pursue dismissal or diversion whenever possible.
Yes. Whether you’re from out of town, out of state, or a college student attending a nearby university, we can handle your case and often appear on your behalf for certain hearings, minimizing the need for you to travel.
