Mr. McLain took on my case in its infancy over two years ago. As the case grew, it was also pushed back several times. The best way to descibe the case could be the biblical account of David and Goliath. Mr. McLain not only took on my case, but he internalized it and gave it his whole heart. At times..., he felt not only like my lawyer, but like a father figure. He assured me that he would take care of me and prove my innocence, and that he did. I am so greatful to him and his staff for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication. Many times throughtout this legal battle, Mr. McLain made me feel like I was his only client...that is just how much dedication and attention he devotes to his clientele. Because of this man and his staff, I am able to continue my military career. BOTTOM LINE: Mr. McLain is not only a great lawyer and friend, but also a true blessing.

We hired Mr. Mc Lain to represent our son who was facing a court martial and jail time while serving in the Army. After discussing the facts with my son and his family, Mr. McLain chose the best course of action to take and fought aggressively to have our son discharged with good paper. When this who...le thing started we thought that nothing could be done and our son was destined for disaster. What Mr. McLain accomplished for our son is nothing short of a miracle. He was always there to answer our calls and listened to everything we had to say, he then answered all of our questions and always kept us updated every step of the way. If you are looking for a military law attorney look no further, he will aggressively fight for you and will be there when you need him. We are convinced that we hired the right man for the job and would highly recommend him to anyone. Mr. McLain explained the process and what his course of action would be and the results that he would expect after an aggressive defense and he was true to his word. Your future and life are too valuable to mess around with so don't settle for anything but the best.

Patrick is a stand up lawyer. I was facing a Sexual Assualt case with 22 years of service. He understood my situation and provided me with sound advise. Patrick was very flexible and family friendly, he took time to speak. Throughout each level i.e. Art 32, Pre-trial Hearing, Motions Hearing, Patric...k was very confident and displayed excellent knowledge of the law. Timing is very important with this lawyer, he expects you to complete your part and does not hold his tongue back when you're slowing things down. Provide him what he needs so he can work for you. He's no TV lawyer, he deals with the facts and ensures others around him understand that. Dont think for a minute he's gonna babysit you, he will provide you what you need. I was found not guilty to the charges that were before me and returned to duty to recieve my promotion which was on hold. This lawyer may not be in your town, however he is mobile and worth the trip. Secure him fast and let his team go to work for you.

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!
