Beyond Excellence - Physical Evaluation Board

Patrick represented me in a Physical Evaluation Board Hearing. My case was cumbersome and complicated as my physcial issue had been occuring for 10 years; I had several conflicting theories from military doctors; and I was someone who had not taken recommended medications or followed doctor advice b...ecause I never wanted to admit that I was sick. Patrick won the case and saved my retirement. With conflicting and sketchy records and nervous and forgotten testimony, Patrick presented material and a summary which moved the panel. It is because of Patrick that my family now has the financial security of my retirement. I will always be in his debt. I work with lawyers daily in my career. Patrick ranks #1 of the over 20 lawyers that I have known.

Can you afford not to have him

Patrick is a stand up lawyer. I was facing a Sexual Assualt case with 22 years of service. He understood my situation and provided me with sound advise. Patrick was very flexible and family friendly, he took time to speak. Throughout each level i.e. Art 32, Pre-trial Hearing, Motions Hearing, Patric...k was very confident and displayed excellent knowledge of the law. Timing is very important with this lawyer, he expects you to complete your part and does not hold his tongue back when you're slowing things down. Provide him what he needs so he can work for you. He's no TV lawyer, he deals with the facts and ensures others around him understand that. Dont think for a minute he's gonna babysit you, he will provide you what you need. I was found not guilty to the charges that were before me and returned to duty to recieve my promotion which was on hold. This lawyer may not be in your town, however he is mobile and worth the trip. Secure him fast and let his team go to work for you.

OHA Fraud case...found not guilty

Patrick saved my career!!!..I interviewed three other lawyers before Patrick and every single one of them just wanted to nogotiate with the government and take the easy route. When I interviewed Patrick; I made a decision on the spot. He has the fighting spirit of a Marine and with 25 years of experi...ence in Military Law in his arsenal you have the best chance of winning. He is the best of the best!!!.

The Best!!

The start of your defense to any charges/allegations is to not talk/give a statement to anyone. I was facing a Special C-M with 15 years of active service in the AF. I called Patrick late at night and after 2 days of questioning by AF OSI. He returned my call within 15 minutes and we discussed my all...eged charges. I was hesitant about hiring civilian defense b/c of my financial status. I will tell you that the small price of representation compaired to a lifetime of retirement is worth it. Patrick will not make false promises and tell you that you will win. If any lawyer tells you they promise a win, you better run. Patrick requires you to be active in your defense. He will assign you task and expects you to follow through. Do not give excuses for he still has a lot of Marine flowing in his blood. He is family minded and will work dilligently for you and expects the same in return. He and his family sacrifice alot for him to represent you in your time of need. Patrick has such a wealth of knowledge with the Military Judicial system that you feel at ease when he is on the case. Patrick handled my case with great professionalism and dedication. I would recommend Patrick Mclain to anyone facing serious charges that could potentially end your career. I feel that you invest so much in your career, to not fight to keep it does not make sense. Patrick and his staff of top professionals will keep you informed through the whole process. I cannot express enough how greatful I am in looking up his firm and making that call to have him represent me in my case. Hearing the "NOT GUILTY" verdict was music to my ears and was a testiment to the beauty of the M-J system working like it should. Me and my family thank you Patrick and to your staff for all you did!

Not enough words. He is the best!!

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 lik...ed. If it was not for Patrick, I would still be in Federal Prison. This man will REPRESENT YOU 100%
