Experienced Lawyer Who Protects Your Rights 

Clients often seek our attorney’s help when they are facing charges that could be life changing. A criminal conviction for fraud, a violent crime like assault, gang-related activity, and other offenses frequently means more than jail time and costly fines. There are collateral effects of a conviction that can affect a person long after they have fulfilled the terms of their sentence. Having a misdemeanor or felony on your criminal record could keep you from employment opportunities, limit your housing options, bar you from applying for loans, and much more. With the severity of these consequences in mind, our criminal defense attorney in El Dorado County approaches clients’ cases differently than other lawyers. 

Our approach: 

  • Develop individualized strategies: While other firms might apply a defense strategy they have used for countless other criminal cases, we will not. We take care to learn about your story and tirelessly advocate for it.
  • Collect evidence: We go to great lengths to collect evidence for your case. When you hire us, you can trust that our team will be thorough and relentless in seeking evidence to support your case.
  • Protect your rights: In the courtroom, during interviews with prosecutors, and in all other venues, our attorney will work to identify infringements on your rights and rectify these issues.
  • Utilize our knowledge and experience: We have been defending clients in their criminal cases for well over 10 years. We bring our experience and skill to every case we serve. 

Expunging a Conviction 

If you have been convicted of a crime, all hope is not lost. California law has generous provisions that allow individuals to expunge all types of convictions. If you are interested in the benefits of this legal process, contact our office. To determine what options you have, we can examine your conviction and determine the best course of action. Our legal team can help you draft and submit necessary documents, prepare you for the expungement hearing, and provide you with vital counsel at every step. 

Evidence Does Not Mean Guilt 

At the McGinity Law Office, we believe that even if the prosecutor has evidence against you, it does not mean you are guilty of the crime. This belief guides all that we do, from how we fight for you in court to the way we treat you around our office. Facing charges is a difficult thing for many individuals, and we do not want to make it any harder. Let us be your advocate.
