When my daughter was railroaded by an overzealous Richardson police officer [yes I know they always say they were railroaded...but, in this case, sadly, it is true] Derek guided us through the labyrinth of the Dallas court system...and obtained a dismissal for the charges [I hardly think they would have dismissed the charges if the officers were in the right]. Derek was open, honest, prompt and always available when questions or problems arose during the course of this unfortunate miscarriage of enforcement. Thank goodness for legal representation like Derek...to insure that law enforcement doesn't overstep because they may feel disrespected. Maybe it's this predilection that fuels the mass mistrust of police officers. Here's a thought, "serve and protect". I think I've heard that in reference to law enforcement somewhere. Very powerful words...not easy to live up to...but a promise nonetheless. Thank you Derek for making them stick.

I worked with three other law firms before being referred to Derek. He took what had been a very frustrating experience and resolved the issues with professionalism along with a high level of communication and personal service. I would highly recommend him

Derek is one of the most thorough and focused attorneys I have ever worked with. His research provided me with the leverage I needed to reach a favorable outcome in my case.

Derek is an excellent lawyer and through the many facets of our situation was able to walk us through each piece step-by-step. At each step, he was very thorough with us and explained each situation thoroughly and always kept things positive. He is honest, does not embellish the truth and is a straight shooter. We appreciated that. He is smart, witty and a great guy. Thanks Derek!

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.
