Unbeleivable representation.

I hired Mr. Brad Sauer and his team from the Law Office of Patrick McLain after what began as a DUI case evolved over several years into multiple charges, ultimately putting me in the position of facing a General Court-Martial. The stakes could not have been higher for my career, reputation, and futu...re. At the time, I was going through a very dark period in my life. As the case progressed, it felt like everyone had already made up their mind about me. I was treated like a pariah, and very few people were willing to believe my side of the story. It was isolating and overwhelming. From the beginning, Brad stood out. He took the time to truly listen and understand the full context of what I was going through. He never dismissed me, never treated me like a lost cause, and never lost hope in my case — even when things became more complex and serious. As the charges escalated and the possibility of a General Court-Martial became real, his knowledge of military law, preparation, and leadership made all the difference. He was strategic, thorough, and clear in his communication. I always understood where we stood and what the next step would be. I would also like to personally thank Lacy for the kindness and preparation she put into my case. She was extremely professional and left no stone unturned. We always had everything we needed in the required format and on time. If something was missing or unclear, she reached out quickly to obtain it or clarify exactly what was needed. Her organization and attention to detail were critical throughout the process. Facing something of this magnitude while battling one’s own personal demons is something no service member should ever have to experience. Having Brad and his team in my corner during the most difficult period of my life made a profound difference. I am deeply grateful for their dedication and would strongly recommend them to anyone facing serious military charges.

If you’re accused of a crime, hire Mr. McLain. You won’t find someone that works harder to keep you out of a cage. I’ve had Mr. McLain on my case for over 18 months due to a continuation, and he never stopped picking away at any possible government case. His closing argument alone was worth every pen...ny. If you’re looking for someone to hold your hands and comfort you, go see a therapist. If you want someone to fight your case, hire Mr. McLain, and do what he tells you.

General court martial case

Patrick McLain literally saved my life. I was facing a allegation that carried a life sentence and would have torn me from my family. The opposition was highly motivated to nail me to the wall due to today’s climate of victim hood I was in a perilous position. Patrick is a busy man and so his app...roach is not tender, but if you need someone to fight a war for you it is not tenderness you need. He is straightforward, honest, and surprisingly emotionally invested in his cases and clients. The man never sleeps. If your case can be won he will win it like he did for me. If it can not be won, he will guide you to the best conclusion. It may hurt but trust this man. I pray I never again need his services but I know who my first call will always be when it comes to legal manners. In regards to Mr McLain reputation. From what I observed he is highly regarded amongst the premiere defense lawyers across the country and I retained his service at the recommendation of a top tier defense lawyer who did not work military cases. In regards to his courtroom tactics. Mr McLain went to war with a prosecutor who used ever dirty trick in the book. The straight up lied and omitted evidence. I have no idea how any of it was legal. Mr McLain remained focused and calm. He always found a way to have the prosecutor pay for their mistakes. We did not win every battle in the court room, due in my opinion to a very biased judge but when the case closed I was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. We won the war. With all the respect in the world, I love you Mr McLain. Thanks for giving me back my life.
