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.

Mr. McClain represented me on a legal matter in 2022 that had the potential for severe implications to my Military Career. He was steadfast, immensely clear in communication, and pragmatic. The end state is that 2 years later I retired (by choice) honorably with my 20 year Pension intact. There is... nothing that he and his team could have done better to help my situation.

I was facing a military Admin board aimed at discharging me for something I did not do. With the chips and the service's case seemingly stacked against me, Patrick eagerly took my case on very short notice and fought vigorously to defend me. He and his team crushed it, and without the use of hyperb...ole, Patrick is the best and most dedicated attorney I have personably dealt with. If you need someone in your corner that cares about defending you, not just his record, Patrick and his team is the one to select.

This man and his team are true superheroes! I can never thank him and his colleagues enough for working around my busy schedule as a fulltime worker and mom, and even flying across country to accommodate my family's needs for a full day of prep and the formal PEB. Due to the outstanding efforts of M...r. McLain and his staff I was able to medically retire from the military rather than receive a severance package and forced separation following 14+ years of service in Active and Reserve components. Not only did I retire from reserve duty, but due to his expert knowledge on these matters - he was able to send shockwaves through my family when he identified at the end of the formal PEB, that I would be receiving a full Active Army medical retirement because my 'issues/injuries" occurred while on active duty. There will never be enough words to say how thankful we are - we highly recommend Mr. Mclain and his team.

I reached out to many lawyers in Dallas on behalf of my son, a young soldier on active duty. The only person to return my calls was Patrick McClain. His legal team, Eric and Jose, were outstanding, producing the best possible result, case dismissed before pretrial. This firm has a heart for those who... serve and have done so. I cannot recommend them too much.
