Hired Attorney Mr. Patrick McLain

I hired Patrick after allegations of conduct unbecoming an officer associated with excessive drinking, gambling, and the treatment of my wife. Immediately following his hire, Patrick worked diligently to help me through the process. In what was one of the most difficult times in my life, Patrick aggressively fought on my behalf and made sure I was taken care. His knowledge on military law is top notch and his ability to succeed cannot be overstated.
