DOD Security Clearance

As a result of recent DOD tightening of security and my foreign background DOD was looking to revoke and deny my eligibility for an industrial security clearance. After a good amount of research I found the best and hired Mr. McLain to represent my case vs. DOHA. My ratings reflect my experience and... the outcome of this case with having Mr. McLain on my side. I would highly recommend getting the best on your side if the outcome is important to you.

Phenomenal

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.

He will get the job done.

I was struggling with trying to receive a medical retirement from the Air Force. The AF proposal was to give me a 0% rating for a medical condition that was service related. I was told an AF lawyer would be assigned to represent me in the Formal Physical Evaluation Board. I thought this would be alri...ght, but I found out that the I wouldn't meet with the lawyer until 3 days before the scheduled board date. I decided to hire a lawyer that was in the military prior and that knew their way around the FPEB. Patrick Mclain was the lawyer I chose, with 20+ years experience with military law. I knew he was the one to choose. He is a very confident and determined person in his ability and he will get the job done. He represented me well and helped me receive the percentage that I needed to get a full medical retirement. Thanks a bunch Patrick, my family and I appreciate your service. If you want to win hire Patrick.

Beyond Excellence - Physical Evaluation Board

Patrick represented me in a Physical Evaluation Board Hearing. My case was cumbersome and complicated as my physcial issue had been occuring for 10 years; I had several conflicting theories from military doctors; and I was someone who had not taken recommended medications or followed doctor advice b...ecause I never wanted to admit that I was sick. Patrick won the case and saved my retirement. With conflicting and sketchy records and nervous and forgotten testimony, Patrick presented material and a summary which moved the panel. It is because of Patrick that my family now has the financial security of my retirement. I will always be in his debt. I work with lawyers daily in my career. Patrick ranks #1 of the over 20 lawyers that I have known.

Can you afford not to have him

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.
