Patrick J. Mclain

Mr. Mclain and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable about military laws and gave me peace of mind knowing that they will jump in the case immediately and handle everything. I was under investigation by CID and did not know what to do as my military career was potentially ruined. Mr. Mcl...ain did not sugar coat a single thing. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, explained how CID works and gave me all the possible ways my case could've gone to mentally prepare myself. LISTEN TO HIS ADVISE! He was very clear as to what to do and NOT to do. His staff will reach out to you weekly with any updates and to check on you. An excellent attorney and I recommend him to anyone who's military career gets put in jeopardy as he and his staff's knowledge of both the military and CID is extensive. You'll be in good hands.

Simply put, Patrick McLain is an amazing attorney! From the start he looked over my case and the accusations being leveled against me and he recognized that there was more to what happened than what was on paper. He gave me a very detailed description of what to expect throughout the legal process ...and was always there to keep me informed about my case. One thing you will need to do is be open and honest about your case with him. He wants to know the good, the bad, and the ugly so that he can best defend you. He spent numerous hours working with me on the case including a four day workshop that allowed us to both better understand the events that led to the charges against me, but also helped me in many more ways beyond just the case. Needless to say, the case was dropped. His staff was helpful throughout and always helped me in answering any questions that I had. I felt that I was in good hands with him representing me and if you want more than just representation, but a lawyer that will care about you as a person and represent your case as though it was his career on the line, Patrick McLain is who you want to represent you!

I was being held at a Special Court Martial and facing forfeiture of two-thirds basic pay per month for one year, one year confinement and a bad-conduct discharge. The charges being accused were two specifications of wrongful abuse of a controlled substance and one charge of assualt. At first I was s...keptical to hire a civilian lawyer because of the funds. Patrick and his law office helped me to understand that should be the least of my worries when your future is in jeopardy and you're looking for a strong fight and people who actually care. Would you rather be capable of making the money back to pay off your debts or never making enough to be successful enough to support a/your family because you were found guilty of charges be forced against you. On short notice and just weeks before being held at a Special Court Martial in the United States Air Force I contacted Patrick and his team. They jumped on board with lighting speed and helped to assure I was in good hands. My court martial was pushed back and it gave me space to breathe a little and know I was going to be taken care of. Patrick McLain's office contacted me every week to check on me and make sure I was in the loop and taken care of full circle. Leading up to my court martial and being relieved of duty for 9 months was one of the most stressful and darkest stages of my life. Going through all that Patrick and his team made sure I was given the treatment I needed to keep a steady head through the process. Nothing was sugar coated with Patrick though so if you can't take a little father son/daughter stern talk then you might as well find someone else. The stern talks to me were a huge plus! It helps you realize he isn't messing around and if he can give you a little butt ripping then what'd you think he can do in that court room! Heading into my Special Court Martial Partick and his law office were working hand and hand with my Area Defense Counsel out of Travis AFB. They spent late nights reviewing every piece of my case and making sure there was nothing left untouched. In the court room it showed. Patrick didn't leave anything unquestioned. Patrick was active and always on his feet to object, he never gave up. It wasn't just about the court room though. Even after a long day of fighting my case he took the time to get to know me on a personal level and understand me as a person with dinner. Patrick is a lawyer that is there for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Without his help I don't know where I'd be. Coming to the end of my Special Court Martial I was found guilty on one charge. I was given a Letter Of Reprimand(LOR), lowered to E-1 from E-2 and just one month confinement. I can't thank Patrick and his team enough for what they did for me and the time they put in to make sure I was in good hands. If I could put more than 5 stars I would!

I hired Patrick J. McLain in April 2014 after consulting with a handful of other lawyers who never had any confidence in my case. I had an extremely difficult case where the military was going all out against me. I was facing sexual assault charges, being a registered sex offender for life, confineme...nt and a bad conduct discharge. I was blasted in the media by the military and my case made national news. It was the most terrifying experience in my life. Patrick took me under his wing and made me feel like I was a part of his own family. He got me fully engaged in my case instead of just watching it from the sidelines. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable of Military Law and a very hard working person. He conducted my defense brilliantly and always seemed to be 10 steps ahead of the prosecutor. After a four day trial I was found NOT GUILTY. I would highly recommend Mr. McLain to anyone who needs a good military defense lawyer. Patrick I can't thank you enough for the devotion and time you put into my case. Thank you!!!

It has been one year now since Mr. McLain helped rescue me from the worst experience I have ever gone through in my entire life. Furthermore, there is a reason that I remember it so well. I remember feeling like there was no hope and that no matter what I said, nobody would believe me or give me the ...opportunity to talk. After going through lawyer after lawyer, I finally found someone who I could believe in. It was none other than Mr. Patrick McLain whom I felt I could truly trust. His confidence, persistence and reliability allowed me to realize that I had made the right choice. He gave me the opportunity to provide insight into my own case so that he could understand me better. He cared, he was honest, and he put in the time and effort to do what it takes. The world can be cruel, and there are times in life when everyone needs help. Mr. McLain, I just want to tell you thank you, and thank you for caring. I can now continue on my military career just as I was and continue to do great things. My wife, four children & I are doing great! I consider you not only a great person both personally and professionally, but also a friend. From myself and my family, Thank you!
