Excellent Advocate!!!

I reached out to Patrick for help while facing separation from the military under other than honorable conditions. It was a dark time, I was feeling completely overwhelmed and helpless. My entire career was served with absolute honor and I held my service in the highest reverence. My character an...d career were both being viciously attacked by the organization I️ had dedicated 16 years of my life to. I could not afford to hope for the best and take a chance with a JAG appointed attorney. I began searching for the best military defense attorney, which is how I discovered Patrick McLain. This was not an easy case for Patrick to accept. The prosecutor had built a case on a stack of wildly politically incorrect and inflammatory accusations. Patrick and his staff took the time to really get to know me while my case slowly dragged forward almost a year. He and his team checked in with me weekly to provide updates and make themselves available to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had. During such a stressful period of my life, it was reassuring to know his entire staff was accessible throughout the case. Patrick quickly earned my trust and confidence. It was apparent that both he and his staff sincerely believed in “our case.” Patrick took absolute charge and his staff tirelessly assisted to ensure all parties involved had a clear picture of all of the facts, rules, and regulations surrounding the case. All of the reviews you read about Patrick are from clients that have been in the legal trenches with him. When Patrick accepts a mission, his weapon is truth. He genuinely cares, commits total dedication to the case and his client. He’s not afraid to tell you what you need to hear. And he’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and fight for his clients. Throughout the case, Patrick offered expert advice and ensured everyone involved was thoroughly prepared for the day of the hearing. With Patrick’s experience and the courage of a Spartan, he was able to prove the government's case was all smoke and no fire. We received a unanimous decision in our favor. My family and I sincerely thank Patrick for being a pillar of strength and a defender of the truth.

Eric spoke at his board hearing as eloquently as he writes above. Eric was the subject of all sorts of lies, rumors, and false attacks, including by many officers in federal law enforcement agencies who had lost all sense of honor and decency. We fought back lie after lie with the truth and returned this Senior Chief Petty Officer to the honorable status he had earned in all his years of service to the US Navy. Victories like this make all the hard work and long hours rewarding. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain

Complete peace of mind! Outstanding attorney and staff!

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 J. McLain has a no B.S. approach and is fully committed to providing the best possible defense.

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.

Prompt, Responsive and Professional

I was in the process of seeking and interviewing various attorneys to: a) initiate and start building a long term professional relationship for any legal/business needs I have now or, in the future, and b) to help address some specific legal questions I had about some prior business dealings. I was ...in contact with a live person upon my first call to Patrick's office and within the first hour of ever contacting him and his team, I received an email confirming my consultation appointment and a follow-up call directly from Patrick providing me with his cell phone number and an invitation to reach out to him on any day, at any hour (no matter how late). Patrick was professional, concise and to-the-point during my consultation and he answered all of my questions clearly. When it comes to legal and business matters, you need someone that is responsive and reliable; Patrick and his team have made an excellent first impression and I will be using his professional services again if and when there is a need.

Outstanding attorney

There are not enough words to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Patrick McLain. He is an outstanding attorney! He is an attorney that will fight for his client until the very end. For two years, he was not only my attorney but someone that I could count on through my ups and downs. I completely tr...usted him with my case. Mr. McLain was always there to answer any of my questions or concerns. He was also very supportive of my family as we were all affected by my situation. He was truly, as my parents will say, "our rock". I was very pleased with the attention to detail and the personalized service I received during this difficult time. Furthermore, his staff is the best! Thank you Ms. Janine for always keeping me informed. Mr. McLain is not only a great attorney but also an outstanding Christian family man.
