Sex Crimes

Fresno, California, Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

I believe that good people get accused of doing bad things. As a sex crime defense lawyer, I have successfully defended many clients accused of all kinds of sex offenses. At the Fresno, California, Law Offices of Michael J. (Mac) McGinnis, I have in depth knowledge of Federal and California State law. I have gained this in-depth knowledge through 35 years of experience with criminal law. I take many sex crime defense cases each year and I can advise you how the law will deal with your situation, helping you take the actions that will be best for you. I can defend you in cases involving:

  • Sexual assault
  • Child molestation
  • Child sexual abuse
  • Rape
  • Sodomy
  • Incest
  • Lewd conduct
  • Possession of child pornography (state and federal)

I can offer you detailed legal advice about how you may be affected by California and federal law. It is important to contact me right away to talk about your options. For example, if you have been accused of a sex crime, you may risk having your children removed from their home by Child Protective Services if you return to the house where your children are living.

I also often recommend that families talk with a therapist to help them handle the stigma, impact, shame, confusion, and trauma involved with accusations of sexual crimes. As an experienced sex case defense lawyer, I have seen many families devastated by the emotions that go along with these accusations. I know what you are going through and I will be there as your attorney and zealous advocate to fight the charges and face the stigma.

Many people who have been accused of sexual offenses worry that, if they are convicted, they will face mandatory Penal Code 290 registration for sexual offenders and the posting of their picture and offense description on the Internet. I can explain registration law to you while I fight the prosecutors on every aspect of your case, helping you build the strongest case possible while mitigating the psychological damage done by these charges.
