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
Criminal charges in Pico-Robertson and throughout Los Angeles County can disrupt every part of your life — your job, your family, and your reputation. At Grace Legal Group, we recognize that many people accused of crimes are not hardened criminals — they’re individuals who need support, legal protection, and a path forward. That’s why we offer aggressive yet compassionate legal defense rooted in cultural awareness and real-world results.
Below are the most commonly filed criminal charges in the Pico-Robertson area — and how we defend them with strategy, discretion, and a focus on restoration.
1. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence allegations can escalate quickly and carry long-lasting consequences. In Pico-Robertson, where extended families and close-knit religious communities are common, these accusations can affect social standing, child custody, and even housing.
Potential penalties include:
- Up to 1 year in jail (misdemeanor) or 4 years in state prison (felony)
- Protective or restraining orders
- Loss of child custody or visitation rights
- Mandatory counseling and fines
Our defense approach:
We carefully analyze the credibility of the allegations, investigate motive, and seek out evidence of mutual conflict or self-defense. When appropriate, we also pursue diversion, counseling alternatives, or charge reductions to preserve family relationships and futures.
2. DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
California Vehicle Code § 23152
DUI enforcement is aggressive in Los Angeles, especially along Pico Blvd, Robertson Blvd, and nearby freeway corridors. A DUI arrest can lead to both criminal charges and administrative license penalties.
Consequences may include:
- License suspension
- Mandatory alcohol education programs
- Jail time for repeat offenses
- Installation of an ignition interlock device (IID)
Our defense approach:
We examine the validity of the traffic stop, breathalyzer calibration, field sobriety test administration, and procedural errors. In many cases, we help clients avoid a conviction through reduced charges or pretrial diversion.
3. Fraud & White Collar Crimes
California Penal Code § 484 / § 532 and related statutes
Pico-Robertson residents and business owners are sometimes targeted in complex investigations involving financial fraud, insurance fraud, or embezzlement. Even a single accusation can result in reputational damage and serious legal exposure.
Potential penalties:
- Felony charges and prison time
- Restitution orders and asset forfeiture
- Permanent criminal record
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
Our defense approach:
We employ forensic accounting, digital evidence review, and expert testimony to challenge the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to protect your record, negotiate restitution when necessary, and preserve your professional standing.
4. Sex Crimes
California Penal Code § 261, § 288, § 290
Sex crime allegations are among the most serious and stigmatized charges. Whether you’re facing accusations of sexual battery, indecent exposure, or internet-related offenses, your freedom and future are at stake.
Consequences can include:
- Felony convictions
- Mandatory sex offender registration (Penal Code § 290)
- State prison time
- Lifetime social and employment consequences
Our defense approach:
We aggressively challenge unreliable testimony, false accusations, and improper police tactics. We also pursue expert psychological evaluations, suppression of unlawfully obtained evidence, and privacy-preserving strategies for high-profile clients.
5. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code § 25400 / § 29800
Gun charges in Pico-Robertson often stem from routine traffic stops or restraining order violations. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit or possessing a firearm as a prohibited person can result in felony charges.
Penalties may include:
- Jail or prison time
- Loss of Second Amendment rights
- Probation with strict search conditions
Permanent criminal record
Our defense approach:
We review whether the firearm search and seizure violated your constitutional rights. Our firm has successfully fought unlawful stop-and-search tactics and argued for reduced or dismissed charges based on legal technicalities.

How Our Defense Process Works For You
When you’re facing criminal charges in Pico-Robertson or greater Los Angeles County, time is critical — and so is choosing the right attorney. At Grace Legal Group, our defense process is designed to move quickly, strategically, and with full transparency so you feel informed, protected, and empowered from day one.
As your trusted Pico-Robertson criminal defense attorney, we follow a proven, client-centered approach:
1. Free, Confidential Consultation
Your defense begins with a no-obligation, confidential consultation. We’ll listen to your story, answer your legal questions, and assess the strength of the case against you — all with zero judgment. Whether you’re dealing with DUI, domestic violence, or white-collar accusations, we take the time to understand the full picture.
2. Comprehensive Case Review
We immediately begin gathering and reviewing all available evidence — from police reports, body cam footage, and witness statements to forensic data and digital evidence. This early work often reveals procedural flaws, unlawful searches, or weak prosecution claims.
3. Strategic Legal Planning
Once we understand the details of your case, we develop a custom legal strategy. Whether it’s filing pre-trial motions, challenging evidence, negotiating with the DA, or preparing for trial, our goal is to minimize or eliminate the consequences you face.
4. Personalized Client Communication
You’re never left in the dark. We maintain constant communication, update you on every development, and involve you in key decisions. As your legal advocate, we make sure your voice is heard — in and out of court.
5. Aggressive Courtroom Defense or Negotiated Resolution
If your case goes to trial, we are fully prepared to fight. We bring courtroom skill, legal experience, and persuasive storytelling to every hearing. However, when appropriate, we also explore pre-trial diversion, dismissals, or favorable plea deals to spare you unnecessary risk.
6. Post-Case Support and Record-Clearing
Even after the case concludes, we help you rebuild. Our firm assists with record sealing, expungements, and probation modifications to give you the clean slate you deserve.
Grace Legal Group is proud to be a trusted criminal defense resource for the Pico-Robertson community. If you or a loved one has been arrested, accused, or is under investigation, don’t wait. Contact a skilled Pico-Robertson criminal defense attorney who will treat your case — and your life — with the seriousness it deserves.
Schedule your confidential consultation today.
Remain calm, do not resist, and exercise your right to remain silent. Politely request to speak to a criminal defense attorney before answering any questions. The sooner you contact Grace Legal Group, the stronger your defense can begin.
Even a first DUI can result in license suspension, fines, DUI classes, and possible jail time. Our Pico-Robertson DUI defense team works to reduce or dismiss charges by challenging breathalyzer results, unlawful stops, and procedural errors.
Not necessarily. In California, the state can prosecute domestic violence cases even if the victim recants. However, an experienced attorney can present mitigating facts and negotiate alternatives like counseling or diversion.
Depending on your record and the substance involved, you may be eligible for diversion programs, dismissal, or reduced charges. We handle drug offenses with a focus on rehabilitation and second chances, especially for non-violent offenders.
We investigate whether the alleged incident was an act of self-defense, mutual combat, or a false accusation. Our team analyzes video evidence, medical records, and eyewitness statements to build a strong defense.
Petty theft involves property valued under $950, while grand theft involves anything over that threshold. Both can carry jail time, but we often pursue first-time offender diversion or record-sealing for minor theft offenses.
Absolutely not without an attorney present. Sex crime allegations can carry severe penalties and lifelong registration. Anything you say can be used against you. Call Grace Legal Group immediately for representation.
Yes. These cases often involve complex family dynamics, misunderstandings, or financial mismanagement rather than criminal intent. We focus on protecting your rights and uncovering the full context behind the accusations.
Yes. We represent clients in both defending against and responding to restraining orders, including workplace violence or civil harassment cases. We handle these with discretion and care to protect your legal and personal reputation.
We combine aggressive legal strategy with human-centered representation. Our attorneys are culturally competent, trauma-informed, and focused on restoring lives — not just winning cases. We’re local, responsive, and deeply committed to our clients’ futures.
