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 was the lead member of my defense team. To say he was a professional attorney is obvious. What I never expected was the tone of the defense. Before hiring him, my attorney was set solely upon the facts of the case and ignored the person I am. Patrick took me at my most vulnerable, painful tim...e and helped me not only understand the case ahead of us but also helped me through my own personal struggles. I went in to this with my head hung low and my will to fight broken. I emerged a stronger man, husband, and father. Patrick never bullshit me about the facts of the case and laid everything out. At times, I felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all. Through all that pain and stress, Patrick ensured I persevered. He built me up stronger than I had been before the charges were levied and I can press forward with my head held high. Because of the actions we undertook, I better understand myself and how to overcome the underlying cause of the charges. His help went beyond the court room and has made a lifelong impact on myself and my family. Win, lose, draw, Patrick has changed my life for the better.

Patrick and his team are a god send. I came in with a box of paperwork, scared, and desperate. I needed someone to save us, and Patrick and his amazing team have done just that. They are highly professional, and are easy to work with. They get things done, and never felt like they had forgotten us. W...eekly, sometimes daily phone calls checking up on us, giving us updates. They really show how invested they are. He listened, he was honest, he gave us hope when we were lost. He and the team have worked tirelessly on our case. There isn’t enough praise I can give that would be enough to truthfully express what he and the team has done for us and mean to us.

“I hired Patrick to help out with an issue that involved my husband who is stationed in Japan. I was worried, scared and confused, but Patrick and his staff were honest, helpful, patient and kind during this ordeal I was unexpectedly dealing with regarding my husband. Patrick got me information about... my husband, his location and what he was being charged with very quickly and guided us toward the best action possible. His office is upfront with the fees you will be responsible for and they make payment very easy for you. They will also answer your questions (even if there are a lot of them). My husband received a very good outcome to his case and is still in the Navy. I know without a doubt, it is because we had Patrick as our lawyer. While I wish that this all had never happened, hiring Patrick as our was the smartest thing I did. S.S.

I went to Patrick and his team after a previous eight months of being led down a path towards separation. I accepted an NJP under the impression and advice from a Defense Counsel that retention was inevitable. After my CO recommended retention I continued to work hard, served honorably, and awaited t...o officially put one mistake behind me in order to move forward in my career. I was then notified months later that I was recommended for separation at the three star level. At this point when my entire command recommended I resign I sought consultation with Patrick. From that point forward I was made confident nothing was final and we could fight this. The team helped me develop the rebuttal and took the legal process out of my hands. Again for another six months I waited for a response, but the team consistently checked in with me and doing so kept me on course for success. Finally in the end the impossible happened, I was given a second chance and retained. I hold no doubt that this was due to Patrick and the team. Semper Fi.
