  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick more than 3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my White Collar Crime matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I'm not sure how I could ever express how much Patrick meant to me and my family. I knew from the first visit that he was the attorney I wanted to represent me. From pre-trial to trial to post trial he followed through with everything. Even though the verdict did not go the way I would have liked. If it was not for Patrick, I would still be in Federal Prison. This man will REPRESENT YOU 100%

  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick 1-3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my Military Law matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
Patrick McLain is the best attorney that you can hire. I received mobilization orders from the Army and didn't know what I was going to do. I decided to file for an exemption but to my surprise there was almost no information to be obtained on doing so. I found Patrick and after discussing my situation with him I suddenly started to feel like I had a chance. Patrick gave me a very detailed list of things he needed from me on my part. He is a very stern man that knows what works. There is no way I could have gotten through my case without him. when I needed to talk to him he was there. I was kept well informed on my case and knew that I was not forgotten. The thing I liked the most about him is he always has a back up plan and shares with you what he plans to do if need be. I can not sing enough praises for him and his team. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer for dealing with a military issue, you need Patrick Mclain. He is the best there is, talk to him, you'll understand why.

  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick 1-3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my Military Law matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I cannot recommend Patrick highly enough. I won my military case due to his diligence, knowledge and experience in military law. Had I proceeded on my own, I would have lost, for the process was simply too complex. When working with Patrick, there was never a time when I felt left in the dark on my case, nor a time when his assessments and instructions were unclear. Should you be in any difficult circumstance, Patrick will work his tail off for you and keep you clearly informed on the status of your case. Again, I highly recommend the services of Patrick McLain.

Client Review:
Patrick is the tough love type of attorney. He will not hold your hand and do everything for you. What he will do is assign you the tasks that need to be completed in order to obtain a succesful ruling in your favor. If you are serious about winning, he is the attorney for you.

  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick 1-3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my Military Law matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
Patrick J. Mclain handled my case from half a country away with expertise and precision. Patrick and his staff is always ready and willing to answer any question myself or my wife were able to conjure. I felt comfortable from day one in his care. He was able to win a victory in a case that seemed to have no silver lining. I have never worked with an attorney until Patrick and I must say that most of my conerns and prejudices about the profession melted away working with him. Aside from being an agressive attorney, Patrick has a wonderful auora about him which I would find welcome at any time. A man in this line of work with the dedication and morals exemplified by this human being unveils a new type of reprsentation, that of pure good will. I would recommend Patrick to any person who feels there is no way out and all odds are against them. Performing miracles just seems to be something Patrick J. Mclain has perfected.

  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick more than 3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my Family matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
Patrick is not a person you can sum up in a mere sentence or paragraph. This guardian and protector travels life on many different levels: he is first of all a family man, who would give everything to ensure that his understanding wife and capable children set a positive example for society. His second nature is a "No nonsense Marine and well disciplined attorney"... when you step into his office and he questions you in reference to your situation, he will see all that is true and will not give you any false hope. He only only speaks in facts and reality. He has an obligation to "LAW" that few will comprehend. He will call you to his office at 0700hrs on a Sunday or 1900hrs on a thursday. When he decides to accept your case, for that is what he does; you do not hire him, he allows you into his practice and for very good reason.
Patrick was there for me when I had to face the hardest part of my existence. He never once judged me and always shook my hand at the end of the day.

Client Review:
I used Mr. Mclain in January of this year. Mr. Mclain and his staff did a great job of keeping me informed of my case, and always made me feel like I was there most important client. I have no reservations recommending Mr. Mclain to anyone in need of a trustworthy and hard working lawyer. There is no way I would have won my case against the U.S. Army without him representing me.

Client Review:
I have found my lawyer Patrick Mclain, to be honest, right to the point, consistently giving me realistic outcomes through the whole process of my case. He's definitely no nonsense, cut to the chase. As a client...I've never been left hanging; he makes sure all my correspondence is returned. He's got amazing strength and integrity with the combination of experience, insight, and knowledge of military law. He stands behind his words and expects the same in return. I say my blessings every day for him taking my case. With him as my attorney, I've achieved best possible outcomes.

  • I recommend Patrick Mclain.
  • I used Patrick 1-3 years ago.
  • Patrick handled my DUI / DWI matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
Patrick McLain helped me in a DUI case that surely would not have gone in my favor if I would have tried to hire a lawyer of lesser standards. He is a well versed man with extremely high standards. A prior marine who understands what a military member may have to loose. He does not add any BS to his conversation, he states it the way it is. Although his services are expensive, the cost of loosing would have been much more than that. It is said you get what you pay for, with my military retirement on the limb I needed a lawyer I could count on. He is the lawyer that will represent you the way you deserve!

  • Patrick handled my Military Law matter.

Client Review:
I worked with Mr.Mclain a few years ago. I was having a hard time deciding on a lawyer to help me get my retirement from the Air Force. I had been the victim of a sexual assault and the Air Force decided to give me a medical discharge for PTSD. I was very upset and didn't feel I should be the one having to leave the Air Force. I had no idea what kind of rights I would have. I knew I would need a knowledgable attorney to help me. After a lot of research, I found Mr.Mclain. He was very reassuring on the phone, I told him about my situation, and he knew exactly what we needed to do. He said he could help me, and I flew into San Antoino for my court date. We met briefly and talked about the case, and I felt confident that I had picked the right person for the job. The court day went smoothly, and Mr.Mclain knew the questions to ask and was prepared to fight for my behalf. I think the officers there that day were even impressed by him. I was awarded my retirement and was very pleased with Mr. Mclain's services. I think that although the money was a little out of my budget, it was well spent and I have no regrets! Even now, three years later, he stays in touch to see how I am doing. Mr. Mclain not only is a great attorney, but he really cares for his clients and prior service members. He will do whatever he can to seek justice. If you need someone on your side , to fight for your rights, this is the man for the job. He surely is someone I will never forget, and could never thank enough!

Client Review:
I called McLain when the military charged me with some B.S., McLain immediately jumped into action and made things happen in my favor. Don't do it alone ... your military chain of command will try to make you think that your cooperation will help you, it will NOT. I was entirely impressed with McLain's work on my case.
