Simply put, Patrick McLain is an amazing attorney! From the start he looked over my case and the accusations being leveled against me and he recognized that there was more to what happened than what was on paper. He gave me a very detailed description of what to expect throughout the legal process ...and was always there to keep me informed about my case. One thing you will need to do is be open and honest about your case with him. He wants to know the good, the bad, and the ugly so that he can best defend you. He spent numerous hours working with me on the case including a four day workshop that allowed us to both better understand the events that led to the charges against me, but also helped me in many more ways beyond just the case. Needless to say, the case was dropped. His staff was helpful throughout and always helped me in answering any questions that I had. I felt that I was in good hands with him representing me and if you want more than just representation, but a lawyer that will care about you as a person and represent your case as though it was his career on the line, Patrick McLain is who you want to represent you!

Mr. Mclain guided me through the hardest part of my life. I had spent almost 5 years in the Marine Corps when I received false allegations of illegal drug use (positive urinalysis). I mistakenly made a statement to CID and then started hunting for lawyer afterwards. I interviewed multiple lawyers bef...ore I found Patrick and I immediately retained him after our consultation. Under his counsel I: -Denied NJP and demanded a court martial -Dealt with unlawful command influence (which I feel like is something that happens in a lot of commands for similar cases) -Built an outstanding case for retention -When the command did not pursue a court martial, we spent countless hours preparing for the administrative separation board that followed -Got retained in the USMC and will be discharged honorably next week I very highly doubt I would have achieved this outcome if not for the expertise and experience of Mr. Mclain. During the legal process you will be expected to be 100% honest and forthcoming with him and you will need to do everything he tells you to do. These two parts essential for an outcome in your favor. He will fight as hard as he can for you and will always be on your side. Hiring Mr. Mclain was the smartest decision I ever made because my career is priceless to me. He saved my GI bill (which is worth a $100,000 alone), my security clearance, and the prestige of having served honorably. If you are facing allegations, there is no one better to have on your side than Patrick Mclain. It was not only an honor to have a man of this caliber represent me, but to even know him as well. Look no further, he is the best.

I recently hired Mr. McLain back in June of 2013. I was facing a General Court Martial for allegations of Rape and Sexual Assault as well as unlawful force. This could have placed me not only behind bars for life, but worst of all I would have lost my loving family to include my wife and three childr...en as well as my career and a registered sex offender for the rest of my life. When I met Mr. McLain, he reviewed my case and assured me that it was a winnable case. He did not hesitate for one second to get to the bottom of the truth! I often wondered if he ever slept because he was always available and working diligently on my case. Not only was Mr. McLain determined to help me and my family, he was passionate about his work and devoted to doing the best job that he possibly could with his Team. After a four day trial, I was acquitted of all charges. Lastly, not only is Mr. McLain the best Lawyer that I have ever met, he is also a caring person who truly cares about the people he works with and around. Once again Sir, Thank you for everything not only from me, but from my family.

I was a Command Sergeant Major with 28 years in the Army facing 68 years in prison under General Court Martial for fraud and various other trumped up charges. Mr. McLain put me to work right away helping to prepare my own defense. His skill and diligence was apparent from the very beginning. His st...aff is skilled and very organized and reliable. He took the fight to the Commanding General and not only got my case converted to a General Level Article -15 but I was eventually exonerated from All charges. Mr. McLain not only saw me through the roughest time of my life but he saved my career. He opened my eyes to how the Judicial system works in the Military and he made me feel like I was an important part of my own defense. You can't go wrong with putting Mr. McLain on your team.

The start of your defense to any charges/allegations is to not talk/give a statement to anyone. I was facing a Special C-M with 15 years of active service in the AF. I called Patrick late at night and after 2 days of questioning by AF OSI. He returned my call within 15 minutes and we discussed my all...eged charges. I was hesitant about hiring civilian defense b/c of my financial status. I will tell you that the small price of representation compaired to a lifetime of retirement is worth it. Patrick will not make false promises and tell you that you will win. If any lawyer tells you they promise a win, you better run. Patrick requires you to be active in your defense. He will assign you task and expects you to follow through. Do not give excuses for he still has a lot of Marine flowing in his blood. He is family minded and will work dilligently for you and expects the same in return. He and his family sacrifice alot for him to represent you in your time of need. Patrick has such a wealth of knowledge with the Military Judicial system that you feel at ease when he is on the case. Patrick handled my case with great professionalism and dedication. I would recommend Patrick Mclain to anyone facing serious charges that could potentially end your career. I feel that you invest so much in your career, to not fight to keep it does not make sense. Patrick and his staff of top professionals will keep you informed through the whole process. I cannot express enough how greatful I am in looking up his firm and making that call to have him represent me in my case. Hearing the "NOT GUILTY" verdict was music to my ears and was a testiment to the beauty of the M-J system working like it should. Me and my family thank you Patrick and to your staff for all you did!
