Patrick J. McGeehan, Esq.
**Criminal Defense Attorney | Retired Homicide Detective | Accident Reconstructionist**

I have spent nearly four decades investigating crimes, examining evidence, and defending individuals whose freedom, reputations, and futures are at stake.

Before becoming a Florida trial attorney, I served as a police officer and homicide detective with the Metro-Dade Police Department. My background includes homicide investigations, traffic homicide investigations, accident reconstruction, forensic evidence, and law enforcement training.

Today, I operate The Law Offices of Patrick J. McGeehan, P.A., in Daytona Beach, Florida, representing clients primarily throughout Volusia and Flagler Counties.

**Criminal Defense**

My practice includes DUI, drug offenses, firearms charges, sex crimes, domestic violence, violent felonies, vehicular homicide, DUI manslaughter, and other serious criminal allegations.

Having worked on both sides of the criminal justice system, I understand how police investigations are conducted, how evidence is collected, and where investigative mistakes can occur. I use that experience to critically examine the prosecution's evidence and protect my clients' constitutional rights.

**Personal Injury & Serious Crash Litigation**

My investigative experience also informs my representation of clients in serious automobile, motorcycle, and commercial truck accidents, catastrophic injury claims, and wrongful death litigation.

**National Media & Legal Commentary**

My legal work has attracted national attention, including coverage on CNN, NBC's TODAY Show, NewsNation, CBS, and other major media outlets.

In September 2026, I accompanied my client, Lindsey Isaacs, to Washington, D.C., where she testified before a U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee about investigative failures involving automated license plate reader technology. Lindsey spent 13 days in jail following a wrongful arrest before prosecutors declined to pursue charges.

I also represented Holly Jacobs in pioneering civil litigation involving the nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, a case that received national media attention.

My philosophy is straightforward: **An accusation is not evidence, and an arrest is not a conviction. Every case deserves an independent examination of the facts.**

I believe clients deserve direct communication, thorough preparation, and an attorney who is willing to challenge the government's conclusions.

**"I am your best friend at your worst time!"**
