The Law Offices of Victor Orsatti, available at 619-933-4688, has announced felony and misdemeanor defense services across Southern California following a 2026 California rule change that gives courts greater flexibility to reduce certain felony charges before trial.
-- Per the announcement, the San Diego criminal defense firm is providing representation for defendants facing felony and misdemeanor charges across San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties, offering complimentary consultations that allow prospective clients to discuss the charges they are facing, understand the legal process ahead, and have Attorney Victor Orsatti assess available defense options before key decisions are made in the case.

The announcement comes as a 2026 change to California criminal procedure expands when courts may consider reducing certain felony charges. Under AB 321, which took effect January 1, courts can determine before trial that certain offenses capable of being charged as either felonies or misdemeanors should proceed at the misdemeanor level. Courts may also revisit that question when relevant circumstances change.
Accordingly, Orsatti says the early stages of a criminal case can carry significant weight. Before recommending how a client should proceed, he reviews police reports and other available evidence together with the circumstances surrounding the arrest to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case and determine which legal options remain available.
“Being arrested or facing charges doesn’t mean you’re a ‘criminal,’” the firm explains. The practice therefore focuses on giving defendants a clearer understanding of their position before major decisions are made, including decisions involving plea negotiations or trial.
Orsatti has represented more than 3,000 clients during his career, with the firm reporting outcomes that have included dismissals and reduced charges or sentences. His practice emphasizes direct attorney involvement throughout the case; as the firm explains, “when you choose our office, you always speak directly with Mr. Orsatti.”
Representation can also continue when the immediate issue is no longer the original charge. Orsatti assists clients facing alleged probation violations or outstanding warrants and also handles qualifying expungement matters after a case has concluded.
Together, these services allow the firm to address criminal cases at different stages while keeping its primary focus on individualized defense and the potential consequences facing each client.
