Amazing Attorney!

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!

Patrick, hearing from the Roanoke 12 recently, I am reminded of how great it was to fight for you. Give me a call. We have some unfinished administrative business in your case that I told you I would continue to fight for you. Semper Fi, Mc

Excellent team! Excellent Lawyer

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!

A MAN THAT GOD PUT IN MY PATH

For the past year and half I have been through the hardest ordeal in my military career. I was facing multiple charges in a Special Court Martial. Not having any experience in legal matters I needed someone with the knowledge and experience in Military Law not only to represent me, but also to fight... for my 26-year military career. Mr. Patrick McLain was that individual; someone I could trust and who guided me every step of the way. He held me accountable to study my own case and ensured I provided all facts that were necessary to ensure a favorable outcome. I must say, I truly believe that God put Mr. McLain in my path at the time when I needed solid legal representation the most. I highly recommend Mr. McLain to anyone who is facing any legal actions against them; he is truly a professional and a dear friend to my family and me. Thank you for all you have done for us.

Patrick is the best!!

I would recommend Patrick to everyone. He is the best, and resolved my Domestic case dropped and dismissed at Grand Jury. Before I decided to hire him I have consoled with other 3 criminal lawyers, but I chose him even he is more expensive than everyone else. I chose him because I felt so confiden...t with him, way he handled very professional. He is trust and his staffs very helpful, they response to my questions, emails effectively and quickly. It worth the money to hire Patrick McClain.
