“I knew I needed an attorney that was an expert in the defense of sexual allegations. If I lost, I would lose my medical license and my career would be ruined. Mr. Clancy’s office was two and half hours away. He was not a local attorney. There were a lot of political issues with the Sheriff’s depa...rtment at that time that were mixed up in my case. He handled the local political issues with finesse. His defense won not only the case but also the hearts of the jurors. After the trial the women members of the jury became my new patients. I owe him my life and my career. He is a true expert that will fight with all of his heart.”

My child's chronic illness and consequent missed school dates led to a declaration of truancy, and my arrest for "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor." As another reviewer has pointed out, presumption of innocence goes out the window in these situations, and there is no limit to the amount of ...confirmation bias that zealous 'protectors of children' are willing to pile on. Fortunately, our child's endocrinologist stood firm in his diagnosis, and his explanation of the disabilities that followed from it. Unfortunately, the interviewing police officer did not like the doctor's testimony, and filed a report with fabricated testimony that was damning in its claims. Unlike many lawyers, who look for reasons to avoid a trial, Mr. Clancy was willing to fight. One of his team interviewed the endocrinologist to document the officer's fabrication. Mr. Clancy then created a trial brief that demolished the evidence against us, and persuaded the DA to drop the charges. Mr. Clancy never wavered in his commitment. He fought, and he won. The stress from false accusations of child abuse is unbelievable. My family is grateful to Mr. Clancy for ending that stress.

Mr. Clancy is an excellent lawyer who saved my life. He is especially brilliant at formulating a strategy and then adjusting the strategy to the ever changing circumstances of a trial. He also deserves praise for his meticulous preparation. In addition to hiring the most thorough investigators and li...ning up persuasive expert witnesses, he knows exactly what paperwork, such as motions, must be filed to be of greatest benefit to the case. Of equal importance, Mr. Clancy is able instantly and successfully to adapt to changing courtroom circumstances such as unexpected hostile witness statements and newly produced "discovery." Also, it is important to add, that Mr. Clancy understands the importance of the jury selection process and spends as much time as necessary to influence this crucial process to his client's favor.

In 2011, I was a 20 year well respected police officer in the bay area when I was falsely accused of child molestation. My case revolved around an intense custody dispute with my ex-wife, who wanted to return to live in her native Brazil with our children. The false allegations involved my own prec...ious children. I was arrested on mere allegations and was in jail for 14 months while I awaited trial. I was blessed to have been able to discover and retain Mr. Clancy as my attorney. I had interviewed 5 other attorneys before I met Mr. Clancy. Mr. Clancy is not just a basic attorney. He 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.

“I am a teacher and Patrick Clancy successfully defended me against allegations by eight of my elementary school pupils.” “First, I hired the best local criminal law attorney in Stockton, California. For the next year, he made promises of how he was going to help me. On the day of trial, my lo...cal attorney put me under extreme pressure to take a deal to one felony count of child molestation with a maximum of one year in the county jail. I was told that I couldn’t win against eight accusers and would spend the rest of my life in prison. I took the deal even though I was innocent. Before I was sentenced I went to see Patrick Clancy, an expert in child molestation allegation defenses. In fifteen minutes he laid out the strategy to win the case. He called what had happened to me “group hysteria”. My case had the same issues as the famous “McMartin” case. It took 18 months to win withdrawing of the plea that I had entered and another year to win the trial. Patrick Clancy saved my life and my career. He is truly the best. I learned it was more important to have an expert lawyer in child molestation defense than the best local criminal law attorney.”
