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 took my case in 2018 and worked with me through 2019. Against all odds Patrick and his team worked endlessly with me on my case, never left me in the dark, communicated constantly with me and in the end he brought one hell of fight to the prosecutor on my case. My fight became his fight and... I never felt like I was just his client. I owe everything to Patrick.

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 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.

As a military academy cadet, our son was facing a sexual assault charge during the height of the epidemic of such accusations in our country. His case also coincided with a national news story regarding how the academy was addressing these types of issues within the academy and the resulting shake u...p of their sexual assault prevention office. Patrick McLain put his heart and soul into our son's case. He worked seamlessly with our son's assigned military legal team and utilized every available resource to understand the true facts of the case and bring these facts to light. McLain brought with him his in depth legal knowledge, his military expertise, and a team of top legal experts. McLain's courtroom dialogue and presentations were precise and masterful. He broke down the prosecution's presentation and replaced it with a detailed timeline and testimonies which clearly defined an accurate picture of events. He enabled the jury to see our son as the truthful and honorable cadet that he is. The service that we received was worth infinitely more than the price that we paid. In spite of the perfect storm described above, our son was acquitted of the charges brought against him. Today we are celebrating our son's freedom and the victory provided to us by Patrick McLain.
