Client Testimonials
"With Grace, There's Always a Second Chance"
Zino O. Osehobo, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Facing criminal charges in Los Angeles can be emotionally overwhelming and deeply disruptive to your life. At Grace Legal Group, we recognize that people caught in the criminal justice system often need more than legal defense — they need support, respect, and a real opportunity for change. We approach every case with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a firm belief in second chances.
Below are some of the most commonly charged offenses in Los Angeles and how we advocate for our clients with both strategic precision and human understanding:
1. Assault & Battery
California Penal Code § 240 / § 242
Los Angeles sees frequent arrests for assault and battery — especially in densely populated neighborhoods or nightlife districts. Assault (PC § 240) is an attempt to apply force, while battery (PC § 242) is the actual use of force, even if minimal.
Potential consequences:
Up to 6 months in jail (or more if serious injury is involved)
Probation, fines, or community service
Felony charges in aggravated cases
Our defense approach:
We work to reduce or dismiss charges by highlighting mitigating factors, presenting alternative resolutions like anger management programs, and protecting your rights throughout the legal process.
2. DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
California Vehicle Code § 23152
In a city as car-dependent as Los Angeles, DUI charges are common — especially following routine checkpoints or traffic stops. Whether it involves alcohol, marijuana, or prescription medication, a DUI can have lasting consequences.
Potential consequences:
License suspension or revocation
Jail time or probation
DUI education classes
Ignition interlock device (IID) requirements
Our defense approach:
We challenge the legality of the traffic stop, question field sobriety test results, and explore options like diversion or rehabilitation to minimize penalties and keep you out of jail.
3. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence charges in Los Angeles can stem from complex and emotionally charged situations. Even a single allegation can lead to serious legal, social, and professional consequences — regardless of whether charges are ultimately filed.
Potential consequences:
Misdemeanor or felony charges
Jail or prison time
Criminal protective orders (restraining orders)
Loss of child custody or gun rights
Our defense approach:
We fight back against false or exaggerated claims, ensure due process is followed, and seek rehabilitative outcomes — not just punishment — when appropriate.
4. Theft and Property Crimes
California Penal Code § 484(a) / § 488
With Los Angeles’ high population and commercial activity, theft-related charges such as petty theft, shoplifting, and burglary are among the most common. Even minor incidents can have serious long-term consequences.
Potential consequences:
Jail time (up to 6 months for misdemeanors)
Fines and restitution
A criminal record that may affect employment and housing
Probation or community service
Our defense approach:
We advocate for diversion programs, civil compromise, and record-cleaning strategies to help you avoid a conviction and move forward without lasting damage to your future.
5. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code §§ 29800, 25400
Los Angeles has some of the strictest firearm laws in the state. Whether you’re facing charges for illegal possession, carrying a concealed weapon, or owning a firearm as a prohibited person, the consequences can be severe.
Potential consequences:
Misdemeanor or felony conviction
Mandatory sentencing or enhanced penalties
Probation or parole restrictions
Permanent loss of gun rights
Our defense approach:
We scrutinize the legality of searches and seizures, contest unlawful police procedures, and push to reduce or dismiss charges when constitutional rights are violated.

How Our Defense Process Works For You
Facing criminal charges in Los Angeles can feel overwhelming — especially if it’s your first time navigating the justice system. Fear, uncertainty, and anxiety are natural reactions. At Grace Legal Group, we understand what’s at stake. Our role as your Los Angeles criminal defense attorney goes far beyond court appearances and paperwork — we fight for your future with compassion, strategic focus, and respect for your dignity.
Here’s what you can expect when you put your trust in Grace Legal Group:
Step 1: Schedule a Free Consultation
It starts with a real conversation. When you contact our office, you’ll speak directly with an experienced criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles — not a call center or intake coordinator. We take the time to listen to your story, explain your rights, and help you understand your options in clear, honest terms.
Step 2: Investigate, Evaluate, and Build a Personalized Strategy
Once we’re retained, our team gets to work immediately. We’ll thoroughly review your case — examining police reports, analyzing bodycam footage, interviewing witnesses, and identifying constitutional violations or procedural errors. We also take time to understand your personal background, because your life context matters.
Whether it’s pretrial diversion, mental health programs, or other alternatives to incarceration, we explore every possible path toward a more favorable outcome.
Step 3: Strategic and Compassionate Courtroom Representation
From arraignment through trial, we are by your side at every stage. We push for charge reductions, negotiate fair plea deals when appropriate, and aggressively pursue dismissals whenever possible. But we’ll never pressure you into accepting an outcome that isn’t in your best interest.
As your Los Angeles criminal defense team, we keep you informed, involved, and empowered every step of the way.
Step 4: Post-Case Support and Reentry Services
Our support doesn’t stop when your case concludes. We offer guidance with expungements, probation compliance, and access to reentry resources including mental health care, job assistance, and educational referrals.
At Grace Legal Group, we’re committed to helping you move forward — not just legally, but personally and professionally.
Most criminal cases in Los Angeles are heard at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, located in Downtown LA. However, depending on where the arrest occurred, your case might also be handled at other courthouses like the Airport Courthouse, Van Nuys Courthouse, or East Los Angeles Courthouse. We’ll confirm the correct venue for your case and make sure you’re fully prepared.
Remain calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and do not answer any police questions without an attorney present. Contact Grace Legal Group immediately to protect your rights and start building your defense.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for alternatives such as diversion programs, probation, counseling, or community service — especially for first-time offenders. We fight aggressively to keep our clients out of jail.
We handle a wide range of cases including:
DUI & drug-related offenses
Theft and shoplifting
Gun and firearm charges
Juvenile offenses
Expungements and post-conviction relief
You can search for your court date on the Los Angeles Superior Court website, or contact our office and we’ll confirm it for you. It’s crucial not to miss any scheduled hearings.
Missing court can lead to a bench warrant being issued for your arrest. Contact Grace Legal Group immediately — we may be able to quash the warrant and get your case back on track before further consequences occur.
Absolutely. A first-time offense can still carry serious consequences, including jail time, fines, and a permanent record. An experienced Los Angeles criminal defense attorney can often reduce or dismiss charges and guide you toward long-term solutions.
It depends on the complexity of the case. Misdemeanors may resolve in a few months, while felonies could take longer. We’ll keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible.
Yes. We represent both local residents and out-of-town defendants who were arrested in Los Angeles. We’ll handle your court appearances when possible and keep you updated so you don’t have to travel unnecessarily.
Yes. We believe quality legal defense should be accessible, so we offer flexible payment plans to fit your financial situation. During your free consultation, we’ll discuss pricing transparently and without pressure.
