Great Group of lawyers and people to work with.

Was hesitant at first cause lawyers cost a lot of money.and with a bad Court appointed attorney that wasn’t doing her job. We needed to find a lawyer who would take the case and do their best at their job. But you get what you pay for. And with Patrick McLain you get your moneys worth. They took my s...ons case and worked very fast in getting it resolved. Got it done in two weeks of hiring them. If we ever need a lawyer again we are definitely calling Patrick.

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 need representation while serving in the Military look no further.

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.

Dedicated Law firm that delivers peace of mind

I can’t say enough about the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain. From the start, Mr. McLain instills a feeling of confidence that things will turn out alright. On Oct 28th, I was facing 30-37 months, and thanks to his relentless dedication, I ended up with just 3 years of probation. It’s an incredible r...elief to know it’s all over. Mr. McLain is a true fighter—he stands by you until the very end. He’s sharp, determined, and knows his craft inside and out. Just trust him and let him work. Cooperate fully and do whatever he asks of you; you won’t regret it. He’ll work tirelessly, and I mean tirelessly. The staff at his office, including Jose, paralegals Natalie and Michelle, as well as the firm’s investigator, Randi, also played a huge role. They worked diligently behind the scenes, adding their skills and support every step of the way to contribute to this successful outcome. It truly felt like a team effort. If you need someone who will go to battle for you and stand by you through everything, Patrick McLain and his team are the best you’ll find. The peace of mind I feel now—knowing I’ll spend the holidays with my family—is beyond words. I can finally see closure and sleep soundly at night. He's a miracle maker!

Great response time and advice

Patrick was straight to the point and very helpful when approaching my consultation. He asked from the stat what my goal was and he focused on that plus some general advice.
