Client Testimonials
"With Grace, There's Always a Second Chance"
Zino O. Osehobo, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Criminal charges in Reseda and the broader San Fernando Valley can carry serious and lasting consequences — emotionally, financially, and legally. At Grace Legal Group, we know that many people who find themselves facing charges don’t need judgment — they need advocacy, options, and a path forward. That’s why we approach each case with compassion, cultural understanding, and a clear strategy for achieving the best possible outcome.
Below are some of the most common criminal offenses charged in the Reseda area — and how we fight for our clients with legal excellence and unwavering support.
1. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases in Reseda often arise from heated family dynamics and misunderstandings in close-knit households. Unfortunately, a single accusation can trigger police involvement, restraining orders, and a criminal record — even when no injury occurred.
Penalties may include:
- Up to 1 year in jail (misdemeanor) or 4 years in state prison (felony)
- Emergency or permanent restraining orders
- Mandatory counseling or anger management programs
- Loss of firearm rights and child custody issues
Our approach:
We closely examine the facts, challenge weak evidence, and advocate for reduced charges or dismissal where appropriate. We also help our clients navigate court-ordered classes and negotiate non-criminal resolutions when possible.
2. DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
California Vehicle Code § 23152
Reseda’s proximity to major freeways like the 101 and 405 makes it a common site for DUI stops. A DUI arrest can put your license, freedom, and job at risk.
Potential consequences:
- Driver’s license suspension by the DMV
- Mandatory DUI education programs
- Jail time, especially for repeat offenses
- Installation of an ignition interlock device (IID)
Our approach:
We fight DUI charges by challenging probable cause for the stop, field sobriety test reliability, and blood alcohol content (BAC) results. Our goal is to protect your record and restore your driving privileges.
3. Drug Offenses
California Health & Safety Code §§ 11350, 11377, 11357
Despite progress in California’s drug reform laws, arrests for controlled substances remain common in Reseda. This includes cases involving meth, heroin, prescription pills, and marijuana-related offenses outside the legal limit.
Penalties may include:
- Jail or prison time depending on the substance and quantity
- Probation and mandatory rehab programs
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
- Felony charges for possession with intent to sell
Our approach:
We fight for treatment over incarceration and advocate for pretrial diversion programs or drug court. When the charges lack merit or involve constitutional violations, we seek full dismissal.
4. Theft & Property Crimes
California Penal Code § 484 / § 488 / § 459
From shoplifting to burglary, theft-related charges are frequently prosecuted in the Reseda area — particularly near commercial shopping centers. A conviction can affect employment, housing, and immigration status.
Penalties include:
- Jail time (even for petty theft)
- Misdemeanor or felony record
- Restitution to victims
- Possible probation or community service
Our approach:
We evaluate the intent behind the offense and seek alternatives like civil compromise, diversion programs, or record sealing to avoid a lifelong criminal record.
5. Sex Crimes
California Penal Code §§ 243.4, 261, 288, 290
Accusations involving sexual misconduct carry some of the most severe social and legal penalties in California. Even unsubstantiated allegations can lead to arrest, public stigma, and lifetime sex offender registration.
Consequences can include:
- Long-term prison sentences
- Mandatory lifetime sex offender registration under Penal Code § 290
- Loss of professional licenses
- Immigration and custody complications
Our approach:
We conduct a thorough, discreet defense — analyzing timelines, digital evidence, and witness credibility. We vigorously defend against false accusations and fight to protect your rights and reputation.
