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!

I'm not sure how I could ever express how much Patrick meant to me and my family. I knew from the first visit that he was the attorney I wanted to represent me. From pre-trial to trial to post trial he followed through with everything. Even though the verdict did not go the way I would have lik...ed. If it was not for Patrick, I would still be in Federal Prison. This man will REPRESENT YOU 100%

Patrick McLain is the best attorney that you can hire. I received mobilization orders from the Army and didn't know what I was going to do. I decided to file for an exemption but to my surprise there was almost no information to be obtained on doing so. I found Patrick and after discussing my situ...ation with him I suddenly started to feel like I had a chance. Patrick gave me a very detailed list of things he needed from me on my part. He is a very stern man that knows what works. There is no way I could have gotten through my case without him. when I needed to talk to him he was there. I was kept well informed on my case and knew that I was not forgotten. The thing I liked the most about him is he always has a back up plan and shares with you what he plans to do if need be. I can not sing enough praises for him and his team. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer for dealing with a military issue, you need Patrick Mclain. He is the best there is, talk to him, you'll understand why.

I used Mr. Mclain in January of this year. Mr. Mclain and his staff did a great job of keeping me informed of my case, and always made me feel like I was there most important client. I have no reservations recommending Mr. Mclain to anyone in need of a trustworthy and hard working lawyer. There is no... way I would have won my case against the U.S. Army without him representing me.
