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.

When I hired Patrick Mclain based on a recommendation, I didn't fully understand how military justice worked. He immediately built tremendous trust with us and told me that he fights hard for his clients. I hired him after one phone call, without ever meeting him, while he was overseas in fact. ...That's how much I believed in him. After hiring "Team Mclain" for our son's highly publicized sexual assault case, he immediately went to work with our son. He is direct, no nonsense and passionate about fighting for his clients. Patrick and his team of Michael, Natalie and expert lawyers are simply THE BEST team that fully understands the complexities of military justice. Once "Team Mclain" went to work with our son at the Academy, he immediately dove right in and went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined in preparing for our case. He fought hard at pre-trial hearings, preparing motions and bringing in his expert team of psychodrama experts that helped prepare our son for the trial. When this hit the mainstream media, we were terrified that our son would not get a fair trial. "United States vs." is a scary proposition. Patrick's no nonsense demeanor, concise communication and plan of attack was absolutely brilliant. Patrick worked with our son's Academy legal team seamlessly. I cannot say enough about his leadership and calm demeanor in such a highly publicized case. Most importantly, he (and his team) prepared our son more than we could have ever imagined, all while our son was trying to go to class and pass final exams. At trial, Patrick and his team were masterful in presenting our son's case. He got to the truth quickly and kept everyone in the fight all week long. I listened to his closing arguments intently. In my opinion, he uncovered the absolute truth and proved our son's innocence. My favorite moment of the entire process was when I hugged him after the verdict and whispered, "You not only saved our son, but you saved generations of our family. Thank you." Bottom line, when you hire "Team Mclain" you are getting THE BEST ATTORNEY you can ever hire, and I mean that. He fights hard and cares so deeply about the cases he takes on.
