Patrick saved my life

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.

Thank you, Chase. This was a tough case in federal court, scary charges, and a judge who was determined to stop us from getting an acquittal. You were found Not Guilty nonetheless, and rightfully so. It was an honor to serve and fight for you. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain

Goes above and beyond

I hired Patrick after my first lawyer failed to communicate and help me through my initial summary court martial. The first lawyer I hired left me in the dark and was mostly unable to communicate due to him handling other cases. Unlike my first lawyer Patrick and his team communicated to me about eve...rything. Patrick also gave me spot on advice and went over his plan to help me get the best outcome out of my summary court martial, including getting witnesses to vouch for my work ethic which I didn’t think were allowed to testify on my behalf for a summary court martial. Thanks to Patrick he helped me understand the whole process and answered any questions or doubts I had about my case. Patrick knows his stuff and has the experience to prove it.

Amazing Lawyer who fights for you!

A tremendous lawyer in a time of need. After being accused of conduct unbecoming an officer for personal conduct while off duty, I hired Mr. McLain to help me through the process. He diligently worked behind the scenes to make sure my voice was being heard. Despite my inability to listen to his di...rection early on, Mr. Mclain was patient and continued to fight on my behalf. Mr. McLain helped me win at a board of inquiry with no other disciplinary action. A sincere man, who is dedicated to his clients. Would strongly recommend and is a great asset to military clients everywhere.

Incredible asset in time of need

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.

Thank you, Kerry. You are a tough, smart officer, but we all need guidance when we are attacked. You came through well because you listened and acted wisely. All the best in your retirement and your new career. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain

Patrick will fight hard for you

“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.
