“I was falsely accused of child molest and the overly zealous DA office filed 16 charges on me. Each carried a 15 or 25 years to life sentence…Due to the social stigma regarding these allegations, the rule “Innocent until proven guilty” goes out the window…I found Mr. Clancy whose firm is the only one that specializes in Sex Crime Allegation Defense and has been doing nothing else but that for almost 40 years. He and his team listened to me carefully to understand my case and took necessary immediate actions to avoid further damage. He then expertly developed a strategy on how to win my case and diligently carried it out with his team step by step. His confident demeanor and special talent in connecting and building rapport with the Judge and Jurors in the court room ultimately resulted in my Not Guilty verdict on all 16 charges.”

“As an Appellate Law Specialist, I am in the unique position where I can see the work done by many different attorneys throughout California. I also am asked by many attorneys to research and write special motions for them to use in the trial court such as motions to suppress, demurs, evidentiary issues, and motions for new trial. On a number of occasions, I have been asked to write difficult trial motions for Mr. Clancy.
Mr. Clancy is often assisted in these cases by the top experts. The fact that the most trusted experts in the field also trust Mr. Clancy is a testament to his skill as an advocate and his willingness to share center stage with other uniquely qualified individuals who will advance the interests of his clients.
Because of this experience working with Mr. Clancy and his team, I have come to know Mr. Clancy on a professional basis. He has a reputation within the Legal Community of being a strategist without rival and dogged advocate for his clients in the field of Child Molestation Cases; a field where many attorneys struggle because of the complexities of the cases and the need for an understanding of child development, memory, suggestibility, and other specialized fields of study unique to these cases. In my opinion, Mr. Clancy’s reputation is well earned, garnered from over four decades of complex and challenging trial advocacy.”

“In 2015-2016 I had multiple allegations of molestation dismissed against me without trial. I was accused by a couple of family members. My first attorney worked very hard on my case and was a very fine man but he suggested I needed an expert in the field of child molestation allegation to take over the case. He introduced me to Patrick Clancy. I was told he was the best in his field of child molestation allegations. My bail was over a million dollars and I was not able to make bail and had been in jail for approximately 8 months when Mr. Clancy took over my case. Mr. Clancy quickly prepared the case during the preliminary hearing he was able to disprove the major count against me which carried life in prison. Based upon the dismissal of that count Mr. Clancy got my bail reduced and I was able to make bail based on that reduced amount. It was the last day I spent in custody on my case. I was free and it felt so good. Mr. Clancy prepared the case for trial but before the case went to trial the accusers refused to proceed and all of the sex allegations were dismissed. Mr. Clancy and I had several interesting conversations, some included politics. We were from two totally different backgrounds. He always made himself available to me. Mr. Clancy gave e me emotional support that I really needed during a very difficult time in my life. Mr. Clancy really showed that he cared. Mr. Clancy was a life saver.”

“I was charged with two felonies counts Federal Court based upon this one photograph…I [had] installed spyware on [my daughter’s] smartphone [which] sent…reports to my smartphone. I found out she was pretending to be an 18-year-old…sending inappropriate photos of herself to adult males…I destroyed her smartphone in front of her eyes. She was totally mad. My Smartphone was in the custody of California Law Enforcement. I…was about to go to trial without my corroborating evidence (the spyware email reports)…I was offered credit for time served…I was released from Federal Prison and was immediately transported to the California…to stand trial for child molestation carrying a potential life sentence…My wife found Patrick Clancy who…immediately got my cell phone and had it analyzed. He was the first in eight attorneys that did his job. Mr. Clancy attacked the plea bargain [and] showed the spyware to the jury…Without the evidence that the judge had sanitized out we were only able to hang the jury…On the day of the start of the second trial the case was dismissed…[Patrick Clancy] never gave up and that gave us hope. We highly recommend him. ”

“Sex abuse cases are the most difficult cases to defend because society\'s abhorrence of these crimes and the consequential rush to judgment. Mr. Clancy is one of the best lawyers you could have at your side, should be falsely accused of this type of crime. I\'ve attended his seminars and accessed his information that he provides freely on his website. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly endorse him as a fighter who must overcome almost insurmountable odds.”

“I was a 20 year well respected police officer…ex-wife, who wanted to return to live in her native Brazil with our children. The false allegations involved my own precious children...Mr. Clancy is…a specialist/expert in defending people accused of sex crimes, especially child sexual molestation. He has an enormous amount of trial experience and truly knows that many people are falsely accused. He has dedicated his life to help people accused of such horrific allegations. Mr. Clancy only retains the most renowned experts in child psychiatry and in the medical field to fight for your defense. Even if you truly are an innocent person, there is still a high probability you can be wrongly convicted. You will be in for the fight of your life. Mr. Clancy saved my life, and I'm forever grateful. I don't think another attorney would have been able to expose the truth like Mr. Clancy did in my case.”

“At 26 years old I had been a youth soccer coach for over 8 years and had trained over 2000 soccer players without a single complaint. Out of nowhere I was accused of molestation by a 10 year old soccer player I had taught for only two days…Mr. Clancy’s team carefully investigated my case and found that the student who accused me quit a soccer team the prior [and was] picked last each day for the scrimmages. The younger children did not even sit with her during breaks. Mr. Clancy explained to the jury that this child wanted out of doing the soccer camp because she was humiliated by being rejected and felt inferior. For the first time I understood what motivated this student to do what she did. The jury returned a verdict in 1 ½ hours. I now understand the importance of a strategy and proper investigation. Everyone else had missed it.”

“When I was accused by my one of my daughters of a molestation that never occurred, I found myself in the middle of a fire storm. There had been disputes about custody and support amounts with each of my ex-wives. The ex-wives now used the allegation against me to take advantage and a fire storm broke out.
I hired the best attorney in town but soon learned that he could not do anything for me. I have the funds to hire the best since I am a successful business CEO so I started a search for the best attorney in the field of Child Molestation Defense throughout all of California. I found Patrick Clancy, Chief Strategist of the Innocence Legal Team. He was four hours drive away but I wanted the best. As a successful businessman I know that having a clear strategy to solve a problem is essential. You cannot just wander around with no path and expect to solve a problem.
Mr. Clancy and I studied court documents from my prior divorces, hundreds of emails from ex-wives and children, hundreds of text messages from ex-wives and children, and statements of all witnessed dating back years. We also gathered electronic evidence from the children’s digital devices…the materials were analyzed, and a case strategy was developed. This was turned over in discovery to the District Attorney as required by law. It led to the dismissal of all of the child molestation charges.”

“At first my union assigned me a lawyer who informed me that at least 90% percent of these cases end up in a plea bargain and that I would most likely be going to jail for a very long time. Patrick Clancy on the other hand assured me that he brings his cases to trial. From the moment I met Pat, I felt not only was I in expert hands, but also in the hands of a kind and caring person. The terror that was always lurking (with these kinds of false allegations) was offset by his jovial nature and a ‘legal power’ that he carries with over 40 years of experience in this very unique work. In the end my case was dropped due to evidence dug up by the excellent investigator who works with Pat, and Pat’s courtroom strategy. It turned out that the first accuser had significant problems which skewed his/her memory and the second accuser was only a copycat caught in his/her own lies. Pat, with the support of his investigator, was able to uncover and bring to light these issues and put together an argument which convinced the DA to drop the case.”

“I was falsely accused of child molest and faced multiple lifetime sentence charges. Mr. Clancy was the 3rd attorney I hired for the case because the first 2 were not experts in the field and could not handle my case well. Mr. Clancy is extremely knowledgeable about this specific field of law. He communicated with me often and helped me to make informed decisions. The case was brought to trial. He did an amazing job of defending me and wining back my freedom with Not Guilty Verdict on all counts”

Before the internet there was a series of books that would fill at least two shelves of a library that contained the names, contact information, and evaluations of attorneys and law firms. It was used by attorneys to find other attorneys by specialty, evaluations, and geographical area.

“Mr. Clancy is the best choice for those who are falsely accused. Patrick Clancy is a great lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anybody falsely accused of abuse. I did a lot of research to find a lawyer in this particular area of law and was very impressed with his whole team. He sent out his investigator, to interview us (my husband & I), probably to be sure that he was not taking on a client who was an actual abuser. He handled the entire issue with one phone call to the DA on my husband’s behalf, instead of my husband going in for an interview without any representation. Which could have had life changing results. It was devastating enough for my spouse to deal with the emotional aspect of being falsely accused, but thanks to Mr. Clancy, at least my husband didn't have to do so in jail. I wanted to post my review of Mr. Clancy because he is a true advocate for the falsely accused and also for families that find themselves in that situation.”

He has provided training to the Public Defender’s office on various sex crimes and has successfully represented countless clients accused of child molestation, child abuse, and various other sex crimes.

“I was arrested and had a bail of $1,850,000. My girlfriend found, hired, and paid Patrick Clancy a $25,000 retainer to represent me because her research said he was the best. He came to the jail and met with me three times. He worked with my friends on the outside. I was arrested Friday night. I was release without any charges being filed on Wednesday. I overheard the police talking at the jail. They said the District Attorney was not going to file the case because the attorney, I hired, Patrick Clancy, was no one to mess with. I give credit to Mr. Clancy's reputation leading to no charges filed. Without being asked, Mr. Clancy refunded 90% of the retainer and kept a small amount to cover the time he had put into the case. Not only was he the best, he was so fair when he refunded most of the money without even being asked. In the end my case was dropped due to evidence dug up by the excellent investigator who works with Pat, and Pat’s courtroom strategy.”

“Un mexicano indocumentado con una condena previa por abuso de menores. ¡Mi vida había terminado! Recientemente, una sobrina joven me acusó falsamente de haberla molestado. Me mantuvieron en la cárcel sin fianza. El Sr. Clancy trajo intérpretes con él cuando me visitó en la cárcel. Mi familia extendida recaudó los fondos para contratar al Equipo Legal de Inocencia porque querían que yo tuviera lo mejor. Anteriormente, como joven me acusaron de tocar a mi hermana, pero no lo hice y no entendí lo que sucedió en el tribunal de menores. Ahora, me enfrentaba a una vida en prisión y, si alguna vez salía, me enfrentaba una deportación dejando a mí familia en los Estados Unidos. Patrick Clancy fue el "Jefe Estratega" en mi caso. Él me creyó cuando le dije que yo era inocente. Mi esposa tenía una pista de lo que podría haber sido la causa de la falsa acusación y, como jefe estratega, el Sr. Clancy desarrolló esta lista en el caso. El plan del caso era que un amigo de mi sobrina estaba en un hogar de acogida. Esta amiga quería que mi sobrina se uniera a ella en el hogar de acogida. Ellas planificaron una acusación formal de abuso sexual en mi contra para que ellas pudieran vivir juntas en el hogar de acogida. Descubrí que había aceptado un acuerdo por abusar sexualmente de mi hermana cuando era menor de edad. No entendía lo que estaba sucediendo en el tribunal de menores. Ahora, mi hermana dio una declaración por escrito en el caso actual apoyándome e indicando que nunca la molesté y que ella confiaba totalmente en mí con respecto a los niños. La estrategia fue desarrollada por el Sr. Clancy y reunió toda la evidencia necesaria. La acusadora admitió que ella había inventado la historia como parte de un plan para vivir con su amiga. La evidencia que el Sr. Clancy había reunido fue entregada al Fiscal del Distrito antes de la audiencia preliminar. Después de la audiencia preliminar, la fiscalía quedó satisfecha y desestimó todos los cargos. La estrategia del caso del Sr. Clancy condujo a un despido de del caso. Mi vida fue salvada.”

We defend you when the odds are stacked against you

- The prosecution uses severe potential sentences to extract plea bargains. However, some of these defendants are innocent.
- The sentencing laws in child molestation cases are more severe than for murder. If you committed first degree murder of a child, you would be facing a sentence of 25 to life.
- If you sexually touch without penetration two different children each under 14 years of age, each count carries 15 to life.
- If there is one child who is 10 years of age or younger, and the defendant is age 18 or older, and there is some penetration no matter how slight, the sentence is 25 years to life per count.
- If there is no penetration, only one child and that child is under 14 years old, the potential sentence is 8 years per count
How We Win
Preparation, preparation, preparation…
- To maximize your chances of the most favorable outcome in a sex crime allegation case, we prepare extensively, using “The System”.
- To prepare extensively you cannot have a huge case load. Fewer cases means more time to prepare “your” case.

Defense of Date Rape and Rape Allegations
In today’s culture, rape allegations have become a product of the clash between the “Free Love” and Feminist Movements of the 1960’s and the more recent “Me Too” Movement. Morning after “Buyer’s remorse” becomes an allegation of date rape.
Defense of Date Rape and Rape Allegations
For decades, the crime of rape has been known as the easiest criminal allegation to make by the alleged victim and the hardest to disprove by the defendant. In today’s culture, rape allegations have become a product of the clash between the “Free Love” and Feminist Movements of the 1960’s and the more recent “Me Too” Movement. “Hook Up” apps are common. One-night stands follow. Alcohol and drugs are usually involved for both partners. The next morning, often shamed by family and friends, one partner may come down with a case of “buyer’s remorse.” That partner becomes the “victim,” and the other a “rapist.” Your best defense is to understand the system you face and have the most experienced legal representation possible.

Today a person convicted of a sexual offense is required to register as a sex offender for life. The registration was originally designed as an aid to law enforcement and was not available to the general public. With the passage of “Megan’s Law” however, the list of registered sex offenders is available to the public over the internet. California’s legislature has made it nearly impossible except in narrowly defined cases to remove one’s name from the registry.

In 2013, I was falsely accused of child molest and the overly zealous DA office filed 16 charges on me. Each count carried a 15 or 25 years to life sentence. At first I was in denial and thought since I did not do anything wrong, these charges would just go away. Wow, was I wrong! The DA did not do any real investigation and focused their efforts in working with the accusers to convict me. Due to the social stigma regarding these allegations, the rule “Innocent until proven guilty” goes out the window. I realized I was in deep trouble and needed a real expert on this type of allegations to win back my freedom.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum
To be falsely accused of child molestation or abuse is an excruciatingly painful experience, but it cannot compare to the devastation of having one’s life utterly destroyed by a wrongful conviction and imprisonment. The earlier you begin the appeals process, the better chance your have for possible reversal. Your best chance is starting before your sentencing hearing. Your best defense is to understand the system you face and have the most experienced legal representation possible.

Today a person convicted of a sexual offense is required to register as a sex offender for life. The registration was originally designed as an aid to law enforcement and was not available to the general public. With the passage of “Megan’s Law” however, the list of registered sex offenders is available to the public over the internet. California’s legislature has made it nearly impossible except in narrowly defined cases to remove one’s name from the registry. This is true even if the registrant is rehabilitated, even if he has led an exemplary life for decades.

A Local Attorney or A Multi-Disciplinary Team of Experts in the field? Focus on what matters?
Does hiring a local attorney give you an advantage with your case?
- You are being told by a local attorney that he knows the DA or he knows the Judge. Do you think that a Judge or a DA will risk ruining their career by doing a favor for someone accused of a sex crime? No! The judge and the jury are swayed and impressed by a defense presented with skill, which means you should focus on the expertise and experience of the attorney you are about to hire.
- You are told by a local attorney that he knows the politics of the county. Do you want someone influenced by the politics of the county or someone that has no fear of the local politics?
- Expertise, experience and skills are more important than hiring a local attorney when your entire future is at stake.
Mistakes today have consequences in the future
Too many times we have to repair the damage caused by a prior attorney
- The Innocence Legal Team is often the second law firm hired by the client. Many thought that they initially hired an expert in sex crimes defense but learned that they were wrong.
- One fatal mistake is pressuring a client who is innocent into a plea bargain before the case is prepared and an intelligent and informed decision can be made.
- Mistakes in case strategy developed by your prior attorney may be irreparable.
- Mistakes usually mean that you have spent tens of thousands of dollars before discovering that you have the wrong attorney. This may leave you without sufficient funds to hire the “True Experts”.
When do I call an attorney?
You should call an attorney as soon as you become aware that you are a target of an investigation.
CALL NOW, AVOID JAIL
- Ask yourself this: ? Has someone made an allegation against me? Are the police working on preparing a case against me? It is time to call.
- Pre-emptive preparation may help in having no charges filed at all and avoiding arrest and jail.
- Pre-emptive Investigation can prevent witnesses being lost or changing sides due to pressure.
- You need an attorney to protect you from police tactics.
- You can be tricked into an interrogation that is designed to use psychological pressure on you.
- Beware of pretext phone calls! You maybe psychologically pressured and recorded.
