Fresno Criminal Defense Attorney

"Criminal lawyers make a good living off the misery of others, and any lawyer that is not willing to go to jail for his client has no damned right being in a courtroom."

-- Vincent Hallinan

As a criminal defense lawyer, I try to live up to my hero, Vincent Hallinan's, words. So, when you are being investigated for or have been charged with a crime, I fight hard for your rights and your freedom. I never hesitate to take action on your case. At the Fresno Law Offices of Michael J. (Mac) McGinnis, I am a criminal defense attorney who knows California state and federal criminal law. In the past, I have been a prosecutor and deputy sheriff, but now I use my in-depth knowledge of the law and the streets to successfully defend you. My 35 years of experience helps me to put together the strongest defense possible.

I offer non-judgmental legal representation for a wide variety of cases. I have represented people accused of state and federal crimes including DUI, serious traffic offenses, homicide, murder, assault, domestic violence, drug offenses, and sex crimes. Gang cases and strike prior cases are welcome.

As a criminal defense attorney, I tell clients that they can call me almost anytime. I know how being accused of a crime affects you, your family, and your loved ones. I make myself available to you to help you understand the law and gain perspective on how you may be affected. I know what you are experiencing when your freedom is at stake, so I work closely with you throughout your case.

The Fresno Law Offices of Michael J. (Mac) McGinnis is located across the street from the Fresno County Courthouse and about one block from the Fresno Jail. Initial consultations are always free, I accept credit cards, and I can arrange flexible appointment times to meet your needs. If you are looking for a criminal defense, DUI, gang case, or drug lawyer, contact my office today at 559-497-7979.
