Attorney Resources
Patrick Clancy is the founder of the Innocence Legal Team and began his career in 1974 in the Los Angeles Public Defenders Office. Deputy Public Defender Herb Barish, one of the greatest criminal law attorneys in the State of California, was Mr. Clancy’s mentor. This experience early in his career was the foundation of Mr. Clancy’s skills as an attorney.
The Innocence Legal Team (ILT) was designed to continue the legacy of Mr. Barish and Mr. Clancy by helping other attorneys who want to provide the best defense possible for their clients. Mr. Clancy is using what he has learned over the last four decades to mentor a new team of the best and brightest lawyers in the field of sex crimes.
