Mr. Mclain and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable about military laws and gave me peace of mind knowing that they will jump in the case immediately and handle everything. I was under investigation by CID and did not know what to do as my military career was potentially ruined. Mr. Mcl...ain did not sugar coat a single thing. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, explained how CID works and gave me all the possible ways my case could've gone to mentally prepare myself. LISTEN TO HIS ADVISE! He was very clear as to what to do and NOT to do. His staff will reach out to you weekly with any updates and to check on you. An excellent attorney and I recommend him to anyone who's military career gets put in jeopardy as he and his staff's knowledge of both the military and CID is extensive. You'll be in good hands.

Patrick McLain stuck by my side for 8 long months during my case in which I was accused of violation of Article 112a. I was ultimately given a trial by Special Court Martial and thanks to his superb defense I received a Not Guilty verdict. Throughout the entire process he never tired and always kept ...me focused on the task at hand.

I was being held at a Special Court Martial and facing forfeiture of two-thirds basic pay per month for one year, one year confinement and a bad-conduct discharge. The charges being accused were two specifications of wrongful abuse of a controlled substance and one charge of assualt. At first I was s...keptical to hire a civilian lawyer because of the funds. Patrick and his law office helped me to understand that should be the least of my worries when your future is in jeopardy and you're looking for a strong fight and people who actually care. Would you rather be capable of making the money back to pay off your debts or never making enough to be successful enough to support a/your family because you were found guilty of charges be forced against you. On short notice and just weeks before being held at a Special Court Martial in the United States Air Force I contacted Patrick and his team. They jumped on board with lighting speed and helped to assure I was in good hands. My court martial was pushed back and it gave me space to breathe a little and know I was going to be taken care of. Patrick McLain's office contacted me every week to check on me and make sure I was in the loop and taken care of full circle. Leading up to my court martial and being relieved of duty for 9 months was one of the most stressful and darkest stages of my life. Going through all that Patrick and his team made sure I was given the treatment I needed to keep a steady head through the process. Nothing was sugar coated with Patrick though so if you can't take a little father son/daughter stern talk then you might as well find someone else. The stern talks to me were a huge plus! It helps you realize he isn't messing around and if he can give you a little butt ripping then what'd you think he can do in that court room! Heading into my Special Court Martial Partick and his law office were working hand and hand with my Area Defense Counsel out of Travis AFB. They spent late nights reviewing every piece of my case and making sure there was nothing left untouched. In the court room it showed. Patrick didn't leave anything unquestioned. Patrick was active and always on his feet to object, he never gave up. It wasn't just about the court room though. Even after a long day of fighting my case he took the time to get to know me on a personal level and understand me as a person with dinner. Patrick is a lawyer that is there for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Without his help I don't know where I'd be. Coming to the end of my Special Court Martial I was found guilty on one charge. I was given a Letter Of Reprimand(LOR), lowered to E-1 from E-2 and just one month confinement. I can't thank Patrick and his team enough for what they did for me and the time they put in to make sure I was in good hands. If I could put more than 5 stars I would!

For the past year and half I have been through the hardest ordeal in my military career. I was facing multiple charges in a Special Court Martial. Not having any experience in legal matters I needed someone with the knowledge and experience in Military Law not only to represent me, but also to fight... for my 26-year military career. Mr. Patrick McLain was that individual; someone I could trust and who guided me every step of the way. He held me accountable to study my own case and ensured I provided all facts that were necessary to ensure a favorable outcome. I must say, I truly believe that God put Mr. McLain in my path at the time when I needed solid legal representation the most. I highly recommend Mr. McLain to anyone who is facing any legal actions against them; he is truly a professional and a dear friend to my family and me. Thank you for all you have done for us.

I was in need of a voice. One that would be heard and never forgotten. I was facing special court marshal and multiple charges that would make most throw their hands up and give up and plea. My name needed to be cleared and all I wanted was to find someone who would fight for me and my 15 year career.... I called multiple people and asked "if I did not hire you, who would you recommend". Patrick's name was the constant. I needed to go through this with a clear conscience afterward no matter what the verdict was. I was not getting any good feelings from my military lawyer so I called Patrick. He is a no non sense man who wants to work hard for you. I hired him and immediately the weight of my trial was put off my shoulders. I fell into a dark place and Patrick was my light out. During the pre trial my military lawyer had a Marine Corps required training seminar. The guest was Patrick. I knew right there I had picked the best man for my defense. At trial Patrick picked apart the prosecution and left so much for the jury to think on, it was a work of art. My name was cleaned that day. I'm able to hold my head up high and continue my service. Thank you Mr.Mclain.
