Fresno, California, Domestic Violence Defense Attorney
Criminal charges related to domestic violence can be especially challenging because they often involve emotional accusations by the people closest to you. As a domestic violence defense attorney, I have seen many cases where an angry spouse has made false accusations of domestic abuse. Even if your spouse later recants their accusations, prosecutors often will not dismiss their case against you. Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer is vital. At the Fresno, California, Law Offices of Michael J. (Mac) McGinnis, I have 35 years of experience handling state and federal criminal defense cases. I will fight for you.

Work With an Attorney Who Fights Your Felony Charge
In California, misdemeanor-grade domestic violence between couples who live together is frequently prosecuted as a felony. It is vital to hire an attorney who can effectively fight these charges. Once you have a felony record, you lose your right to vote and to possess or to be around firearms for the rest of your life. A felony conviction can also impact your future employment and licensure for positions like nurses, real estate agents, and social workers. That is why it is vital to get a strong lawyer who will take immediate and aggressive action to defend you.
If you have been accused of domestic violence, contact the Law Offices of Michael J.(Mac) McGinnis at 559-497-7979. My office is located across the street from the Fresno County Courthouse and about one block from the Fresno Jail. I accept most major credit cards, offer free initial consultations, and can schedule flexible appointment times to meet your needs.
