Client Testimonials
"With Grace, There's Always a Second Chance"
Zino O. Osehobo, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Facing criminal charges in Mid-Wilshire and greater Los Angeles County can feel overwhelming — emotionally, financially, and socially. At Grace Legal Group, we recognize that most individuals who come into contact with the criminal justice system are not hardened criminals — they are often people caught in difficult circumstances who need support, advocacy, and a chance to rebuild. That’s why we approach every case with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a focus on healing and justice.
Below are some of the most frequently charged offenses in the Mid-Wilshire area — and how we fight for our clients with both legal skill and compassionate guidance.
1. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases in Mid-Wilshire are often complicated by the area’s dense housing, intimate relationships, and family dynamics. A single allegation can lead to criminal charges, protective orders, and long-lasting stigma — even when the facts are disputed.
Potential penalties include:
- Up to 1 year in jail (misdemeanor) or 4 years in prison (felony)
- Restraining or protective orders
- Loss of gun rights
- Required anger management or domestic violence counseling
We investigate the facts thoroughly and often uncover inconsistencies or motivations for false accusations. Our goal is to protect your freedom, family, and future.
2. DUI – Driving Under the Influence
California Vehicle Code § 23152
DUI arrests are common in Mid-Wilshire, particularly along busy roads like Wilshire Blvd and La Brea Ave. California law prohibits driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (VC § 23152(a)) or with a BAC of 0.08% or higher (VC § 23152(b)).
Possible consequences:
- License suspension or revocation
- Court-ordered DUI education programs
- Jail time or community service
- Installation of an ignition interlock device (IID)
We often pursue reductions, dismissals, or alternative sentencing such as diversion or alcohol treatment programs.
3. Fraud-Related Crimes
Fraud charges in Mid-Wilshire can stem from credit card misuse, insurance fraud, benefit fraud, or falsifying business records. These are often charged as “wobbler” offenses (either misdemeanors or felonies), depending on the loss amount and intent.
Consequences may include:
- Jail or prison time
- Heavy fines and restitution
- Loss of professional licenses or immigration consequences
- Felony convictions that impact future employment
We often work to resolve fraud cases discreetly, negotiating reduced charges, diversion programs, or alternative sentencing.
4. Drug Offenses
California Health & Safety Code § 11350, § 11377, § 11351
Despite California’s progressive stance on marijuana, drug arrests remain common in Mid-Wilshire, especially involving controlled substances like cocaine, meth, fentanyl, or prescription medications. Charges may involve simple possession or more serious allegations of possession for sale.
Potential penalties:
- Jail time or probation
- Mandatory drug counseling or rehabilitation
- Felony charges for intent to sell
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
We often seek treatment-based solutions and push for dismissal or reduction under programs like PC 1000 or Prop 36.
5. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code § 25400 / § 29800
Mid-Wilshire residents — particularly those with concealed carry or prior convictions — can face serious legal consequences for firearm possession, transportation, or use. Charges may also arise from enhancements tied to another crime.
Penalties can include:
- Jail or prison time
- Firearm confiscation
- Felony strikes under California’s Three Strikes Law
- Permanent ban on owning firearms
We defend your Second Amendment rights and often find unlawful search and seizure issues that lead to dismissal.

At Grace Legal Group, we know that being accused of a crime in Mid-Wilshire can feel isolating and overwhelming. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a serious felony, our mission is to guide you through the legal system with clarity, compassion, and fierce advocacy. As your trusted Mid-Wilshire criminal defense attorney, we take a personalized, step-by-step approach to ensure no detail is overlooked and your rights are always protected.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Confidential Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one consultation — either in person or virtually — to listen to your side of the story. This is your opportunity to speak freely and ask questions. We’ll review the charges, assess your legal options, and help you understand what’s at stake.
Step 2: Immediate Action & Investigation
Time is critical after an arrest or criminal allegation. We move quickly to:
- Obtain and review all police reports, witness statements, and video evidence
- Interview witnesses, gather alibi information, and consult with private investigators when needed
- Identify any constitutional violations such as illegal searches, coerced confessions, or racial profiling
Our goal is to build a strong factual and legal foundation for your defense from day one.
Step 3: Strategic Defense Planning
Every case is unique — and so is our approach. Whether we’re pushing for dismissal, negotiating for reduced charges, or preparing for trial, we tailor a strategy that reflects your goals and protects your future. As a Mid-Wilshire criminal defense firm, we’re deeply familiar with the tendencies of local judges, prosecutors, and police, and we use that knowledge to your advantage.
Step 4: Court Representation & Negotiations
We appear on your behalf in all court hearings and aggressively negotiate with the District Attorney’s office. We aim to:
- Reduce or dismiss charges through pretrial motions or diversion programs
- Prevent jail time through probation, community service, or counseling
- Protect your record by pursuing record-sealing or expungement when available
Our presence in court is more than just legal representation — it’s about advocacy, persuasion, and telling your side of the story with integrity.
Step 5: Ongoing Support & Clear Communication
You won’t be left in the dark. We provide regular updates, explain every step in plain language, and are always available to answer questions. Whether it’s advice on court appearances, handling the stress of criminal charges, or protecting your employment or immigration status, we’re here for you — legally and personally.
Yes, DUI charges can be challenged. We analyze traffic stops, breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, and body cam footage for errors or constitutional violations that may lead to dismissal or reduced charges.
Domestic violence charges are serious and can result in jail time, restraining orders, and loss of child custody rights. We investigate the facts, challenge false allegations, and fight to preserve your freedom and family relationships.
In some cases, yes. Early intervention by a skilled defense attorney can lead to dismissed charges through pre-filing intervention, diversion programs, or negotiations with the DA.
Yes, if the restraining order is unjustified or based on false claims, we can file a motion to terminate or modify it. We also defend against restraining order violations
Even petty theft or shoplifting can carry jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. We pursue alternatives like diversion, civil compromise, or record-sealing when available.
False accusations are more common than most people think. These cases demand a strategic, aggressive defense using digital evidence, witness interviews, and expert testimony. A conviction can carry lifetime registration — we fight hard to prevent that.
In many misdemeanor cases, we can appear in court on your behalf. For more serious charges, your presence may be required, but we guide you through every step so you’re prepared and protected.
Elder abuse charges can be filed even in cases of accidental harm or misunderstanding. We investigate intent, relationship dynamics, and the credibility of the claims to defend you vigorously.
A civil harassment order is a court order to stop someone from harassing or threatening you. We represent both petitioners and respondents, helping clients obtain or fight against these orders depending on their situation.
Because we combine skilled legal defense with empathy, cultural understanding, and real courtroom experience. We don’t just fight charges — we fight for your future.
