      "Mr. Patrick McLain equals instant and good results for you. Hiring Mr. Patrick McLain is the best decision I had made throughout my military career."

      Mr. Patrick McLain equals instant and good results for you. Hiring Mr. Patrick McLain is the best decision I had made throughout my military career. Once you compare the amount of money you would loose being kicked out on a dishonorable discharge or loosing rank it would be cheaper to hire Mr Patrick McLain for his services. You will not find a better attorney than Mr. McLain, he has worked as a JAG attorney and knows the military judicial system like the back of his hand. He has represented many military personnel like myself and he continues to serve by representing the troubled airmen/soldier in their time of need. Let me first say that Mr Patrick McLain is the best attorney that you can get to represent you. He has helped me in there different incidents in my career. If it had not been for Mr. Patrick McLain, I would not have made it to 20 years of service. Mr Patrick McLain first represented me in 2006 during an investigation, which he was actively involved in. The case was a mess and no other attorneys wanted to represent me because the allegations were so bad. Not only did Mr Patrick McLain represent me but he had 2 allegations that were being investigated dropped and I was able to re-enlist. I was a person that has never been in trouble with the law and I was debating on committing suicide before the outcome. Mr. Patrick McLain ensured me that everything will be ok and gave me the best legal advice, followed up with my chain of command, and let my chain of command know not to discuss my case with myself during my investigation. In the year of 2018, I hired Mr Patrick McLain once my chain of command was on a mission to kick me out of the air force with over 18 years of service. Before I hired Mr Patrick McLain my chain of command was falsely accusing me of many allegations including not being at work sites, suspended government flight accounts, and not performing my senior NCO duties. Because of the harassment that my chain of command, I was going to mental health, I was diagnosed with PTSD, and contemplated suicide. After many days and hours of prayer I decided to call upon Mr Patrick McLain. Not only did Mr Patrick McLain send a notification to my chain of command starting from my supervisor to my group commander, he provided great legal advice, filed an article 138 against my chain of command in my behalf and explained the situation to the wing commander to get me removed from the section. The result of Mr. Patrick McLain resulted in the mission group commander of Osan airbase being relieved of duty, me moving up to the wing commander building to work and most importantly the current harrassment stopped. In the year of 2019, I asked for legal advice for Mr. Patrick McLain for a racial incident that had occurred during my 6 week in-house clinical treatment. During the treatment I was getting harassed by an office of special investigator military personnel and during the last week of the course. He drew a black face, red lips with silver bars and a jail serial number and told me that mask was a representation of me. Mr. Patrick McLain represented me, he gave me legal advice and I graduated the PTSD class with no more issues. Currently there's an open investigation regarding the racial mask.

      "Patrick J. McLain has a no B.S. approach and is fully committed to providing the best possible defense."

      Patrick McLain stuck by my side for 8 long months during my case in which I was accused of violation of Article 112a. I was ultimately given a trial by Special Court Martial and thanks to his superb defense I received a Not Guilty verdict. Throughout the entire process he never tired and always kept me focused on the task at hand.

      Patrick J. McLain handled my case from half a country away with expertise and precision. Patrick and his staff are always ready and willing to answer any question myself or my wife were able to conjure. I felt comfortable from day one in his care. He was able to win a victory in a case that seemed to have no silver lining. I have never worked with an attorney until Patrick and I must say that most of my concerns and prejudices about the profession melted away working with him. Aside from being an aggressive attorney, Patrick has a wonderful aura about him which I would find welcome at any time. A man in this line of work with the dedication and morals exemplified by this human being unveils a new type of representation, that of pure good will. I would recommend Patrick to any person who feels there is no way out and all odds are against them. Performing miracles just seems to be something Patrick J. McLain has perfected.

      Patrick is the tough love type of attorney. He will not hold your hand and do everything for you. What he will do is assign you the tasks that need to be completed in order to obtain a successful ruling in your favor. If you are serious about winning, he is the attorney for you.

      I used Mr. McLain in January of this year. Mr. McLain and his staff did a great job of keeping me informed of my case, and always made me feel like I was there most important client. I have no reservations recommending Mr. McLain to anyone in need of a trustworthy and hard working lawyer. There is no way I would have won my case without him representing me.

      "Patrick knows military law. He will fight for you and get you the best possible outcome he can!"

      I hired Patrick to help out with an issue that involved my husband who is Navy and stationed in Japan. I was worried, scared and confused, but Patrick and his staff were honest, helpful, patient and kind during this ordeal I was unexpectedly dealing with regarding my husband. Patrick got me information about my husband, his location and what he was being charged with very quickly and guided us toward the best action possible. His office is upfront with the fees you will be responsible for and they make the payment process very easy for you. They will also answer your questions (even if there are a lot of them). My husband received a very good outcome to his case and is still in the Navy. I know without a doubt, it is because we had Patrick as our lawyer. While I wish that this all had never happened, hiring Patrick as our lawyer was the smartest thing I did.

      "OUTSTANDING!!!!!!"

      OUTSTANDING!!!!!! With 18 yrs of service I was going to a show/cause hearing with the possibility of ending my career and losing my retirement. I contacted Mr. McLain, provided him the details, and he was up front and straight forward with me about my situation. After thinking it over, I hired Mr. McLain to defend me. Mr. McLain aggressively handled my case, provided outstanding guidance and kept me informed. Always available whenever I needed to talk or had questions. Mr. McLain was straightforward in what he needed and expected of me. He also ensured that I was taken care of when I had to testify as part of an Article 32 hearing for former staff members. I was retained in the Marine Corps and now I am able to continue my career. Hiring Mr. McLain was the best decision I have made and was the best money I have ever spent. Unlike many attorneys, If you hire Mr. McLain, Mr. McLain handles your case. Not another attorney that works at his office. OUTSTANDING!!!

      "Patrick is a stand up lawyer."

      Patrick is a stand up lawyer. I was facing a Sexual Assault case with 22 years of service. He understood my situation and provided me with sound advice. Patrick was very flexible and family friendly, he took time to speak. Throughout each level i.e. Art 32, Pre-trial Hearing, Motions Hearing, Patrick was very confident and displayed excellent knowledge of the law. Timing is very important with this lawyer, he expects you to complete your part and does not hold his tongue back when you're slowing things down. Provide him what he needs so he can work for you. He's no TV lawyer, he deals with the facts and ensures others around him understand that. Don’t think for a minute he's going to babysit you, he will provide you what you need. I was found not guilty to the charges that were before me and returned to duty to receive my promotion which was on hold. This lawyer may not be in your town, however he is mobile and worth the trip. Secure him fast and let his team go to work for you.

      "Patrick ranks #1 of the over 20 lawyers that I have known"

      Patrick represented me in a Physical Evaluation Board Hearing. My case was cumbersome and complicated as my physical issue had been occurring for 10 years; I had several conflicting theories from military doctors; and I was someone who had not taken recommended medications or followed doctor advice because I never wanted to admit that I was sick. Patrick won the case and saved my retirement. With conflicting and sketchy records and nervous and forgotten testimony, Patrick presented material and a summary which moved the panel. It is because of Patrick that my family now has the financial security of my retirement. I will always be in his debt. I work with lawyers daily in my career. Patrick ranks #1 of the over 20 lawyers that I have known.

      "Patrick saved my career!!!"

      Patrick saved my career!!!..I interviewed three other lawyers before Patrick and every single one of them just wanted to negotiate with the government and take the easy route. When I interviewed Patrick; I made a decision on the spot. He has the fighting spirit of a Marine and with 25 years of experience in Military Law in his arsenal you have the best chance of winning. He is the best of the best!!!.
