Mr.McLain and his staff saved my career and future when I was going against the government in a special (short) martial in Okinawa, Japan. Explaining my story over the phone was difficult but he was patient with me to paint a good picture of situation. He explained everything he was doing for me and ...left me with clear instructions if he needed something from me. In the court room he was aggressive and determined to prove our side which led to a not guilty verdict on all charges.

Patrick McLain is the no-nonsense, no fluff, get to the point attorney I needed when faced with an eventual General Court Martial. Patrick is detailed oriented, exploring all avenues to uncover the story under the investigation and litigate the matters pertaining in the case. If you are looking for... a shoulder to cry on, look elsewhere. If you are looking for candid to the point hard hitting truth, you need to hear pick Patrick McLain. Throughout my endeavor his office worked with all matters in an effective and professional manner. I never had any doubt of getting questions answered or information given to me in a timely manner. There is no one better to be at you side against the Government than Patrick McLain. His reputation for knowledge about all matters is above reproach to a point Judges listen and agree with his interpretation of the law. Patrick follows those law to fight you case to end at the best result possible. You will not be disappointed unless you go to court without Patrick McLain by your side.

I hired Patrick after my first lawyer failed to communicate and help me through my initial summary court martial. The first lawyer I hired left me in the dark and was mostly unable to communicate due to him handling other cases. Unlike my first lawyer Patrick and his team communicated to me about eve...rything. Patrick also gave me spot on advice and went over his plan to help me get the best outcome out of my summary court martial, including getting witnesses to vouch for my work ethic which I didn’t think were allowed to testify on my behalf for a summary court martial. Thanks to Patrick he helped me understand the whole process and answered any questions or doubts I had about my case. Patrick knows his stuff and has the experience to prove it.

A tremendous lawyer in a time of need. After being accused of conduct unbecoming an officer for personal conduct while off duty, I hired Mr. McLain to help me through the process. He diligently worked behind the scenes to make sure my voice was being heard. Despite my inability to listen to his di...rection early on, Mr. Mclain was patient and continued to fight on my behalf. Mr. McLain helped me win at a board of inquiry with no other disciplinary action. A sincere man, who is dedicated to his clients. Would strongly recommend and is a great asset to military clients everywhere.

I hired Patrick because I found myself in an unfortunate and very distressful situation in my military career. After serving 25 plus years with my community, I was shocked at how quickly my command disregarded my solid reputation and past performance and turned against me. The advice that I receive...d from Patrick was critical to my successful navigation through this incident. I will admit that I probably would have made critical mistakes if I hadn't retained Patrick early on. His advice was spot on and guided me brilliantly throughout my ordeal. I trusted him and his team from the onset (even when we had disagreements) and it paid off. My case was ultimately dropped and no charges or punishment were implemented. I strongly believe that hiring Patrick Mclain sent a strong message to NCIS, Navy Region Legal Office and my command that I was not messing around. Choosing Patrick as my attorney was the catalyst to my success.
