The Law Office of Valery Nechay represents clients facing criminal charges across nine San Francisco Bay Area counties, handling misdemeanors, felonies, state and federal charges, and post-conviction relief. Nechay, who founded the firm in 2017, emphasizes that everyone deserves a robust defense regardless of accusations. Her approach centers on obtaining dismissals or, when not possible, fighting for reduced charges, mitigated sentencing, or acquittals through innovative, case-specific strategies rather than relying on traditional methods.
Nechay's practice is built on professional, confidential, and empathetic client treatment, combined with her intimate knowledge of local court rules and relationships with key legal players. A native of San Francisco, she offers free initial consultations to explain rights and options to those under investigation or charged. Her educational background includes a BA in Sociology and Minor in Legal Studies from the University of California Santa Cruz and a Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 2016. Before establishing her firm, she gained experience as a Certified Law Clerk at the Office of the Public Defender, San Francisco, and as a Senior Law Clerk at Gasner Criminal Law.
Her work has earned national recognition, including a ranking in the Top 10 under 40 by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys and selection as a Rising Star from 2021 to 2024 by Super Lawyers. The firm's physical location is at 345 Franklin Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, and it can be contacted by phone or through online inquiries on its website.
