General court martial case

Patrick McLain literally saved my life. I was facing a allegation that carried a life sentence and would have torn me from my family. The opposition was highly motivated to nail me to the wall due to today’s climate of victim hood I was in a perilous position. Patrick is a busy man and so his app...roach is not tender, but if you need someone to fight a war for you it is not tenderness you need. He is straightforward, honest, and surprisingly emotionally invested in his cases and clients. The man never sleeps. If your case can be won he will win it like he did for me. If it can not be won, he will guide you to the best conclusion. It may hurt but trust this man. I pray I never again need his services but I know who my first call will always be when it comes to legal manners. In regards to Mr McLain reputation. From what I observed he is highly regarded amongst the premiere defense lawyers across the country and I retained his service at the recommendation of a top tier defense lawyer who did not work military cases. In regards to his courtroom tactics. Mr McLain went to war with a prosecutor who used ever dirty trick in the book. The straight up lied and omitted evidence. I have no idea how any of it was legal. Mr McLain remained focused and calm. He always found a way to have the prosecutor pay for their mistakes. We did not win every battle in the court room, due in my opinion to a very biased judge but when the case closed I was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. We won the war. With all the respect in the world, I love you Mr McLain. Thanks for giving me back my life.

Just Outstanding

I reached out to many lawyers in Dallas on behalf of my son, a young soldier on active duty. The only person to return my calls was Patrick McClain. His legal team, Eric and Jose, were outstanding, producing the best possible result, case dismissed before pretrial. This firm has a heart for those who... serve and have done so. I cannot recommend them too much.

BEST DEFENSE ATTORNEY

I was facing a terrible situation that could have resulted in my life being completely destroyed. Patrick Mclain and his law firm took me in and became the family and protection needed. Mr. Mclain I meant every word I said to you the day we met in Minneapolis. I was struggling to hold things together... and you stood firm during a time I had no hope or faith. I will never forget you and your law firm. I strongly believe that your presence kept myself protected during this terrible time. Your legal expertise and aggressive nature gave me the confidence to sit still and let the investigation run its course. Thank you.

Outstanding individual

Mr. McLain took my case during the height of the Covid pandemic. From thousands of miles away, he was able to put together a case which ultimately resulted in a Not Guilty verdict and acquittal of 3 separate charges. He dealt with a 14 hour time difference among a list of obstacles. He is not only a ...well spoken, smart, and confident attorney, he is a great man overall. I cannot express how much I appreciate this man. I would hire him again in any situation without question. Absolutely recommend.

Harrison, it was an honor being your advocate. I know it was a scary process, but you now understand how right it was to refuse nonjudicial punishment, demand trial by court-martial, and hire an attorney who will fight for you. Do not be a stranger; stay in touch. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain

Professional, aggressive, reliable

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.

Thank you, Stephen. It was an honor fighting for you. And thank you for being the chauffeur all around Okinawa that week. Keep in contact, Marine. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain
