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
Facing criminal charges in View Park-Windsor Hills can jeopardize your freedom, career, and family stability. At Grace Legal Group, we understand that a criminal case is not just a legal issue — it’s a deeply personal experience that calls for empathy, strategy, and culturally informed advocacy. We approach every case with restorative justice principles and a trauma-informed mindset to ensure our clients are treated with dignity and compassion. Below are some of the most common charges we see in the View Park-Windsor Hills area — and how we fight to defend our clients at every step.
1. Assault & Battery
California Penal Code § 240 / § 242
In a close-knit, urban community like View Park-Windsor Hills, misunderstandings or arguments in homes, schools, or public spaces can quickly escalate. Assault refers to the threat or attempt to cause harm, while battery involves actual physical contact. Even minor incidents can carry serious consequences.
Potential penalties:
- Up to 6 months in jail (more for aggravated cases)
- Probation, anger management classes, or community service
- Felony charges if weapons or serious injuries are involved
- A permanent record impacting employment and housing
Our defense strategy:
We scrutinize the details, challenge weak or exaggerated claims, and advocate for reduced or dismissed charges whenever possible. We also fight for pretrial diversion options that focus on rehabilitation, especially for first-time offenders.
2. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence allegations in View Park-Windsor Hills often arise from highly emotional relationships and can lead to major disruptions — including restraining orders, loss of custody, and loss of firearm rights — even without a conviction.
Potential penalties:
- Up to 1 year in jail (misdemeanor) or 4 years in prison (felony)
- Emergency protective or restraining orders
- Mandatory counseling and probation
- Immigration and family court consequences
Our defense strategy:
We investigate thoroughly, protect our clients’ due process rights, and seek out alternatives like counseling or diversion programs. In cases involving false or exaggerated claims, we work to uncover inconsistencies and preserve our client’s reputation and freedom.
3. Drug Offenses
California Health & Safety Code § 11350
Drug charges are still frequently filed in View Park-Windsor Hills, often stemming from traffic stops or searches. Offenses range from simple possession to more serious charges involving distribution or intent to sell.
Potential penalties:
- Jail or prison time
- Court-mandated drug treatment
- Felony convictions for more serious or repeat offenses
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
Our defense strategy:
We aggressively challenge unlawful searches, questionable evidence, and lab errors. We also advocate for case dismissals, reduced charges, or rehabilitation-based resolutions whenever possible, so our clients can move forward without a permanent mark on their record.
4. Firearm Charges
California Penal Code §§ 29800, 25400
California’s strict firearm laws frequently result in charges related to carrying a concealed weapon or firearm possession by someone with a prior conviction. Many firearm-related arrests in View Park-Windsor Hills arise from routine traffic stops or probation searches.
Potential penalties:
- Felony charges with potential mandatory sentencing
- Loss of firearm rights
- Jail or prison time
- Serious consequences for immigration and professional licensing
Our defense strategy:
We examine whether law enforcement acted lawfully, challenge illegal searches, and push for reduced charges or alternative sentencing. Our goal is to protect your rights, your record, and your future access to legal protections.
5. Theft & Property Crimes
California Penal Code § 484(a) / § 488
Theft-related charges like shoplifting, petty theft, and burglary can carry heavy consequences in working-class communities like View Park-Windsor Hills. Even a minor offense can follow someone for life through background checks and lost opportunities.
Potential penalties:
- Up to 6 months in jail (misdemeanor)
- Restitution, civil fines, and probation
- A permanent criminal record
- Deportation risk for non-citizens
Our defense strategy:
We work to reduce charges, obtain case dismissals, or secure alternative sentencing options that preserve your record and future. Especially for first-time offenders, we emphasize second chances and long-term solutions.

How Our Defense Process Works For You
Being charged with a crime in View Park-Windsor Hills can feel isolating, overwhelming, and even hopeless — especially if it’s your first experience with the justice system. At Grace Legal Group, our role as your View Park-Windsor Hills criminal defense attorney goes far beyond legal representation. We believe in treating every client with dignity, not judgment — and we’ve built a defense process rooted in compassion, strategic advocacy, and a deep respect for your humanity and future.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose Grace Legal Group to fight for you:
Step 1: Free, Confidential Consultation
Your journey starts with a conversation — not a sales pitch. When you call our office, you’ll speak directly with an experienced criminal defense attorney serving the View Park-Windsor Hills community. We’ll listen to your side of the story, answer your most urgent questions, and explain your rights and legal options clearly and honestly.
Step 2: Investigation, Evaluation, and Personalized Defense Strategy
Once we’re retained, our legal team immediately begins investigating your case. We review police reports, body cam footage, and search warrants, interview witnesses, and scrutinize any violations of your constitutional rights. Just as importantly, we take the time to understand your background and personal story — because the person you are matters just as much as the charges you face.
We’ll also explore alternative resolutions such as diversion programs, mental health treatment, or substance abuse support when appropriate.
Step 3: Courtroom Advocacy You Can Trust
Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a felony, we stand by you at every stage — from arraignment to pre-trial motions and, if necessary, trial. Our goal is to secure dismissals, reduced charges, or plea agreements that serve your best interest. And unlike some firms, we’ll never pressure you into a decision that isn’t aligned with your values or goals.
Throughout the legal process, we keep you and your family informed, supported, and empowered to make the best choices.
Step 4: Life After the Case — Ongoing Support

At Grace Legal Group, we help make sure this chapter doesn’t define the rest of your life.
Most criminal cases originating in View Park-Windsor Hills are handled at the Inglewood Courthouse or the Airport Courthouse, depending on the nature of the charge and where the arrest took place. Grace Legal Group is familiar with both venues and their judges, which allows us to craft tailored strategies for each case.
Some of the most frequent charges we handle in this area include:
Firearm and concealed weapon charges
Drug possession and drug sales
DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
Theft, shoplifting, and burglary
Probation violations
We also assist with expungements and clearing criminal records.
Stay calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and ask to speak with an attorney immediately. Do not discuss your case with law enforcement or anyone else until you’ve consulted with a criminal defense attorney. The sooner you contact Grace Legal Group, the sooner we can protect your rights and begin building your defense.
Yes, in many cases we’ve helped clients avoid incarceration by securing alternatives like:
Pretrial diversion programs

Mental health or substance abuse treatment
Each case is different, and we’ll fight for the best possible outcome based on your specific circumstances.
Absolutely. Even first-time offenses can carry serious long-term consequences, including a permanent criminal record, loss of employment, or immigration issues. We work to keep your record clean and your future intact, often securing dismissals or reduced charges for first-time clients.
You can look up your case online through the Los Angeles County Superior Court website, or call the courthouse directly. If Grace Legal Group represents you, we will always inform you of upcoming court dates and make sure you are fully prepared.
Missing a court date can lead to a bench warrant for your arrest. Contact us immediately — in many cases, we can go to court on your behalf and request the warrant be recalled, especially if it’s your first missed appearance.
The timeline varies based on the charge, complexity, and court calendar. Some cases resolve in a few weeks, while others can take months. We work efficiently while keeping you updated every step of the way — and always push for resolutions that minimize disruption to your life.
