Criminal Defense Lawyer in Ellis County, Texas

Going Above and Beyond to Defend the Accused

Arrested? Don’t panic. While it’s easy to feel guilty in a criminal justice system like ours, you must remember that you are innocent until proven guilty. When you choose the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain, PLLC to represent you, our Ellis County criminal defense attorney will go the distance to help maintain your innocence.

The stakes are high in your case.

Ultimately, a criminal record could follow you for years. It is in your best interests to retain a criminal defense lawyer who has decades of experience and knows how both sides of the system operate, like Attorney Patrick McLain. As a former federal prosecutor, he knows how to counter the prosecution’s attacks with skill and precision, leaving no stone unturned.
