Valery Nechay, the founding attorney of The Law Office of Valery Nechay, has become a pivotal figure in the criminal defense landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area. Her firm, serving nine Bay Area counties, specializes in a broad spectrum of criminal cases, from misdemeanors to felonies, including state and federal charges and post-conviction relief. Nechay's approach is rooted in the conviction that every individual is entitled to a vigorous defense, irrespective of the allegations they face.
With a practice centered on aggressive and sophisticated representation, Nechay's mission is clear: to secure the dismissal of charges or, failing that, to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. This could mean reduced charges, mitigated sentencing, or an acquittal. Her strategy eschews traditional methods in favor of innovative, case-specific approaches tailored to the unique needs of each client. Nechay's deep connection to San Francisco, combined with her comprehensive understanding of local court systems and relationships with key legal figures, positions her as a uniquely effective advocate.
Nechay's academic and professional journey underscores her commitment to justice. After earning a BA in Sociology and a Minor in Legal Studies from the University of California Santa Cruz, she obtained her Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 2016. Her tenure as a Certified Law Clerk at the Office of the Public Defender, San Francisco, and as a Senior Law Clerk at Gasner Criminal Law provided her with invaluable experience before she founded her own practice in 2017.
Her excellence in criminal defense has not gone unnoticed. Nechay has been ranked among the Top 10 under 40 by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys and recognized as a Rising Star from 2021 to 2024 by Super Lawyers.
