Patrick Ewing Clancy

I hired the Innocence Legal Team after my grand daughter's mother accused me of inappropriately touching my grand daughter. Patrick Clancy, Kimberly La Salle, and the Innocence Legal Team walked me through the process and gave me valuable advice. Thank God that the allegations were unfounded. They... were very thorough in their investigation and gave me a sense of relief. Thank you ILT!

The Nightmare is still not Over! Megan list is a license to be murdered. My case was as highly prejudice as you can get. My family are practicing naturist (nudist). I moved from California to Texas. I was then arrested, and all of my electronics were search. Naturist family photos were found on my i...Pad. However, one disgusting lewd photograph of my 12 year old daughter was also found on my iPad. I had never seen it before. I was charged with two felonies counts Federal Court based upon this one photograph. In Texas I went through three attorneys that I do not feel represented me adequately. While in California I had lost trust in what my daughter was doing on the internet. I installed spyware on the smartphone. The spyware sent email reports to my smartphone. I found out she was pretending to be an 18 year old student from Stanford and trying to set up “hook ups” with adult males. She was sending inappropriate photos of herself to adult males via “Tender’. I destroyed her smartphone in front of her eyes. She was totally mad. My Smartphone was in the custody of California Law Enforcement. After multiple requests none of my attorneys worked to get control of my smartphone that was back in California. I was in custody for 14 month and was about to go to trial without my corroborating evidence (the spyware email reports) I then made the biggest mistake of my life. I was offered credit for time served and release; or I had to go to trial without my best evidence and I face 30 years in prison. I took the deal expecting to be immediately released. That was false. I was released from Federal Prison and was immediately transported to the California jail to stand trial for child molestation carrying a potential life sentence in a California Prison. In California I went through five attorneys and I did not feel they could handle the case. I was a nudist that had plead to taking a pornographic picture of my daughter. It took two and a half years with no progress. My wife found Patrick Clancy who specialized in these cases for four decades. Mr. Clancy 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 to the California Jury as coerced. We had another hurdle put in our way. The Judge would not let in the motivation of why my daughter was furious with me. The Judge sanitized the evidence under the Rape Shield Laws. We were only allowed to state that I had found that she and done something on the internet that was “inappropriate”. However, Mr. Clancy did not give up. He showed the spyware to the jury. He called a lot of my naturist friends that also had children so that the jury could see that naturism was not sexual. He called people that knew my daughter had problems with the truth. He also introduced that I had found evidence using Spyware that my daughter had done “inappropriate conduct” that lead to her smartphone being destroyed with an ax. He introduced prior inconsistent statements from my daughter about who took the lewd photography and showed how it was physically possible that it was a selfie for her friends. Without the evidence that the judge had sanitized out we were only able to hang the jury. Mr. Clancy immediately started to prepare for a second trial. We were hoping to get a different judge and a different ruling on the admissibility of what I had discovered on my daughter’s smartphone. On the day of the start of the second trial the case was dismissed. I need to tell you about the personal side of “Patrick”. He took the time to keep my wife and I both informed on the progress of the case. We always felt we were part of the case and he listened to our ideas. He was very patient in explaining what was happening and why. He sacrificed many Sundays and nights to help us. He never gave up and that gave us hope. We highly recommend him. This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

All charges dismissed on day of trial. I was falsely accused of molesting my own daughter, all orchestrated by her stepmother as revealed by a journal on her computer. There were hundreds of texts and emails. Unlike attorneys who just want to settle a case to maximize their own profit, Patrick Clancy... told me that’s not how he does things. Patrick spent over a year with me organizing and correlating all of the evidence. Only then did he lay out everything for the DA who, two weeks later, dismissed all charges (three counts of 288a). Thank you, Patrick Clancy! Another life saved!

Patrick Clancy saved my life. Two girls falsely accused me of inappropriately touching them while I put them to bed when they were little. I was put in jail! I was pressured to just settle -- admit to sex crimes, and not face the expense and misery of sitting in jail for months, followed by a jury... trial, and facing life in prison. The court and justice system treated me like a condemned child molester, but I was innocent. My family found Patrick Clancy on the internet. Mr. Clancy does not settle cases; he takes a case to trial. Clancy studied my case carefully, examined my court documents and analyzed the children’s testimony. He hired a great investigator, who found out a lot about the girls, their mother and all their troubled personalities. He hired a respected child psychologist and a specialist appellate lawyer to have important witness testimony ruled admissible. Most of all, he figured out why the girls turned on me and falsely accused me. When the DA saw it all, the case was dismissed without even going to trial. Thank you, Mr. Clancy. Your expertise and strategy saved me from a potential 25 years to life and gave me my life back.

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 exten...dida 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.
