My husband hired Patrick for his summary court martial and Patrick and his team were there every step of the way. They communicated everything they needed and were even there when either me or my husband had any questions. He is a hard worker and will fight for you the moment you choose him to be on your team!

As a military academy cadet, our son was facing a sexual assault charge during the height of the epidemic of such accusations in our country. His case also coincided with a national news story regarding how the academy was addressing these types of issues within the academy and the resulting shake up of their sexual assault prevention office.

Patrick McLain put his heart and soul into our son's case. He worked seamlessly with our son's assigned military legal team and utilized every available resource to understand the true facts of the case and bring these facts to light. McLain brought with him his in depth legal knowledge, his military expertise, and a team of top legal experts.

McLain's courtroom dialogue and presentations were precise and masterful. He broke down the prosecution's presentation and replaced it with a detailed timeline and testimonies which clearly defined an accurate picture of events. He enabled the jury to see our son as the truthful and honorable cadet that he is.

The service that we received was worth infinitely more than the price that we paid. In spite of the perfect storm described above, our son was acquitted of the charges brought against him. Today we are celebrating our son's freedom and the victory provided to us by Patrick McLain.

Amazing lawyer and team. He saved my career when all else seemed lost. We went up against generals who were set on separating me for one mistake. The team was great support throughout the long process and in the end I was given the second chance we knew I deserved and retained. I cannot thank Patrick and the team enough for all they did for me.

Patrick literally saved my life. He and his team fought tooth and nail, worked endlessly on my case and never left me in the dark. I know he's a professional attorney but his personal approach to my case made me feel like he was in the fight beside me instead of just representing me. Patrick won my case against all odds and I owe him everything.

Patrick and his team are a god send. I came in with a box of paperwork, scared, and desperate. I needed someone to save us, and Patrick and his amazing team have done just that. They are highly professional, and are easy to work with. They get things done, and never felt like they had forgotten us. Weekly, sometimes daily phone calls checking up on us, giving us updates. They really show how invested they are. He listened, he was honest, he gave us hope when we were lost. He and the team have worked tirelessly on our case. There isn’t enough praise I can give that would be enough to truthfully express what he and the team has done for us and mean to us.

The case was expunged successfully , however the assistant or attorney would fail to return calls or messages concerning a follow-up matter pertaining to the case to create closure. They acted as if I was a nuisance to them. Office manager was very cordial with a listening ear, but others were not. Case Closed

Patrick McClain and his team are hard working and knowledgeable. They do their best to insure the best results for each and every client. He truly cares about his clients. When you want the government to cower that he is your champion, you know that you are in the right place. Patrick McClain's office gets my highest recommendation.

Patrick McLain is the epitome of honesty and integrity. He lives by those principles, he will fight for you, and he will protect you. He is a man of his word and delivers results.

Outstanding attorney!! Patrick is by far the best in the business and helped me immensely! His legal knowledge and tenacious abilities in the courtroom are exactly what you want in any case, big or small. I am so thankful I had him in my corner, and his customer service was beyond exceptional! Hire him now!

Great practice

So I posted a review on how he basically had me come in to discuss payment options and he wouldn’t even speak to me until I paid first. I already told him over the phone I wasn’t coming in since I couldn’t afford him. He also fell asleep on me during our meeting! Not worth 5 stars! He also had my review erased from google. It’s about the truth!!

Patrick, and team, have been by my side for the better part of a year. I hired him in response to an alleged article 92 violation geared towards fraternization. Frankly, I was the subject of a witch-hunt and my command had made me out to be some kind of super villain.

Being stationed in Japan there is a 14-15 hour time difference, but anytime I called someone would answer the phone. I have had attorneys before that were next to impossible to get in contact with after I hired them, not the case with Patrick. Which went a long way in making me feel confident in my decision to hire him.

Patrick is one of the few attorneys that will set a fixed, not hourly, price. I did not have to pay him per email or phone conversation, which is typical with other law firms. The price for his services was well beyond fair, especially when you tally up all the hours he put into my case.

Patrick never pushed me towards a decision. He would present options and weigh pros and cons with me. Whatever choices I made, he was ready to formulate a battle plan. Before going to court, he would run me through possible courtroom scenarios, which paid off during the trial.

When we had our day in court, I could not have gotten a better outcome. He kept me from losing my rank, my honorable discharge and my money. Best of all, I finally felt vindicated, which was the most important.

Lastly, I would like to thank Michael McLain (office manager) for answering the phone when I would call at 3 in the morning.

Patrick represented me in a PEB Formal Hearing for the Navy. His integrity, professionalism and knowledge in my opinion, is what makes him the best lawyer in Military Law.

Patrick and his team helped me fight my case for what it truly was, facts.

I would highly recommend him for anyone in the military going through the PEB process.

Very personable and str8t forward. Great Federal Appeals Attorney

I used Patrick McLain in 2009 to assist me in a military matter. He was very honest with me upfront as what to expect and was a no nonsense kind of person. I really enjoyed working with him and his paralegal. If I ever need another lawyer and Mr. McLain can handle the issue, he will be the first one I call.

I highly recommend Patrick as a military lawyer. He will do everything he can to help you. He won't just tell you what you want to hear and take your money. If you ever find yourself in the position to need a military lawyer, it's worth the money to hire Patrick.

I would recommend Patrick to everyone. He is the best to help my Domestic case dropped and dismissed. I have consulted with few others lawyers, but I chose him even he is more expensive. I chose him because I felt so confident with him, the way he handled very professional. He is trusted and his staffs very helpful; they responded to my questions, emails effectively and quickly. It’s worth the money to hire Patrick McClain.

Patrick McLain is THE EXPERT on the military justice system!
Before I realized I needed an attorney, I thought my situation was a easily explained and easily understood mistake. I found myself being (subtly at first) ostracized and excluded from meetings, conferences, and correspondence --- all that were directly related to my area of responsibility. It dawned on me, via a "we need to ensure the i's are dotted and t's are crossed," from one of my bosses, that the "easily explained, easily understood" was going to cost me my 25+ year retirement - the result of a lot of sacrifices and opportunities foregone.
Hiring Patrick was the BEST DECISION IN MY LIFE! He knows when to be an all-out bulldog (go USMC!) and is the master of a well-placed growl (go USMC!). The first thing Patrick advised me was to keep my mouth shut- - I did, and I still do. Patrick WON my case for me - - I will be retiring with ALL of my hard-earned benefits. The experience was rough but I am very,very grateful I had Patrick to help me through it. His expertise is supported by the full range of experiences; he knows how the system works! And, he is always available to answer any questions - - even late on a Sunday night before one has to go into work on a Monday, facing the silent treatment.
Patrick, thank-you!!!

A MAN THAT GOD PUT IN MY PATH

For the past year and half I have been through the hardest ordeal in my military career. I was facing multiple charges in a Special Court Martial. Not having any experience in legal matters I needed someone with the knowledge and experience in Military Law not only to represent me, but also to fight for my 26-year military career. Mr. Patrick McLain was that individual; someone I could trust and who guided me every step of the way. He held me accountable to study my own case and ensured I provided all facts that were necessary to ensure a favorable outcome. I must say, I truly believe that God put Mr. McLain in my path at the time when I needed solid legal representation the most. His entire staff was extremely professional and available 24/7 if I ever had any questions or concerns about my case. I highly recommend Mr. McLain to anyone who is facing any legal actions against them; he is truly a professional and a dear friend to my family and me. Thank you for all you have done for us.

Let me be the first to debunk these fake reviews below that all happen to be from some anonymous "google users". I hired him in 2011 during an intense Summary-Court Martial, where his one time fee was $13,000... which is insane since he had no intention of ever flying up to Alaska where I was. He said his name would scare off the prosecutor. I actually heard them laughing about him one day when I was talking to the Base Lawyer because of his moronic approach to dealing with people. Our case was dropped because the opposition lied under oath, and Patrick convinced me it was because he was so popular. He offered to help my discharge upgrade since he did about 6 hours of work on a $13,000 case, so I agreed since the money was gone. When I emailed about starting it up, he charged me another $5,500!!! For some stupid reason I went through with it and now I haven't heard from him in over a year. The guy has downright stolen my money.No other way to say it. It's not like I gave him problems or that the case wasn't winnable, he just took the money and disappeared. Now I have to file suit against him in small claims court. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Hire someone close to home, who has a good reputation. This was the worst lawyer I ever dealt with and I hope others will speak up and warn against hiring him.
