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.

I received representation from Patrick for a PEB Formal Hearing in the Navy. I researched a lot of lawyers and their credentials. Patrick and his team was the one that stood out, and honestly best Military Lawyer, in my opinion. His integrity, professionalism and knowledge, is what separates him from... the rest. This is the best decision and money I spent in my life. I would highly recommend him for anyone in the military going through the PEB process. Thank you Clark

I reached out to Patrick for help while facing separation from the military under other than honorable conditions. It was a dark time, I was feeling completely overwhelmed and helpless. My entire career was served with absolute honor and I held my service in the highest reverence. My character an...d career were both being viciously attacked by the organization I️ had dedicated 16 years of my life to. I could not afford to hope for the best and take a chance with a JAG appointed attorney. I began searching for the best military defense attorney, which is how I discovered Patrick McLain. This was not an easy case for Patrick to accept. The prosecutor had built a case on a stack of wildly politically incorrect and inflammatory accusations. Patrick and his staff took the time to really get to know me while my case slowly dragged forward almost a year. He and his team checked in with me weekly to provide updates and make themselves available to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had. During such a stressful period of my life, it was reassuring to know his entire staff was accessible throughout the case. Patrick quickly earned my trust and confidence. It was apparent that both he and his staff sincerely believed in “our case.” Patrick took absolute charge and his staff tirelessly assisted to ensure all parties involved had a clear picture of all of the facts, rules, and regulations surrounding the case. All of the reviews you read about Patrick are from clients that have been in the legal trenches with him. When Patrick accepts a mission, his weapon is truth. He genuinely cares, commits total dedication to the case and his client. He’s not afraid to tell you what you need to hear. And he’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and fight for his clients. Throughout the case, Patrick offered expert advice and ensured everyone involved was thoroughly prepared for the day of the hearing. With Patrick’s experience and the courage of a Spartan, he was able to prove the government's case was all smoke and no fire. We received a unanimous decision in our favor. My family and I sincerely thank Patrick for being a pillar of strength and a defender of the truth.

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.

I was in the process of seeking and interviewing various attorneys to: a) initiate and start building a long term professional relationship for any legal/business needs I have now or, in the future, and b) to help address some specific legal questions I had about some prior business dealings. I was ...in contact with a live person upon my first call to Patrick's office and within the first hour of ever contacting him and his team, I received an email confirming my consultation appointment and a follow-up call directly from Patrick providing me with his cell phone number and an invitation to reach out to him on any day, at any hour (no matter how late). Patrick was professional, concise and to-the-point during my consultation and he answered all of my questions clearly. When it comes to legal and business matters, you need someone that is responsive and reliable; Patrick and his team have made an excellent first impression and I will be using his professional services again if and when there is a need.
