Written word is almost insufficient to express how grateful I am to the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain! The entire team did such a superior and professional job for me, in my hour(s) of need, it has taken me almost a month (from the end of the trial) to put words to paper, and express my gratitude. I have known Patrick and his wife for over 40 years, a great Marine and a great family man. However, I never thought I would need his services. I was VERY wrong and VERY glad I knew him and his team. I have nothing but admiration for the professionalism, honor, dedication, and skills of the team of Patrick J. McLain, Eric Durojaiye, Jerry Ray, Michelle Araujo, Natalie McLain, and all the other team members who assisted with my case, at the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain. I have been a Banker for almost 40 years. In December of 1985, as a favor to a friend at a local charity, I donned a Santa suit, and assisted with food and gift distribution to indigent families in the Grand Prairie Community. Little did I know this would become a 35+ year “side gig” for me, assisting local charities and non-profits all over the DFW MetroPlex as Santa Claus. In December of 2021, while volunteering at the Grand Prairie Chamber of Commerce Christmas party, I was unjustly accused of ”inappropriately touching” two young ladies. I had done nothing wrong, and refused to plead guilty (or no-contest) to something I did not do. While it was ONLY a Class C Misdemeanor, my reputation in the community was at stake. In a small community, and to a “home town” Community Banker, reputation is of paramount importance. Patrick, Eric, Jerry, Michelle and the entire team treated it (and me) like it was a life and death matter, because to me, it WAS. The, interviews, delays, discovery, scheduling, re-scheduling, additional witness interviews, multiple prosecutorial postponements and changes went on for OVER a year and a half. Through it all, the team at the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain kept me informed, protected, prepared, and ready for battle. When I finally got my day in court, Eric, Jerry and Patrick were there every step of the way, by my side, defending me against misstatements of the prosecutor’s witnesses, and the slanderous, manipulative overreach by the team of prosecutors. In the end we prevailed; a unanimous decision by the jury of NOT GUILTY on all charges. Again, I cannot express an appropriate level of gratitude, nor recommend higher, my lead attorney Eric Durojaiye, Chief Investigator Jerry Ray, and all the members of the team at the Law Office of Patrick J. McLain. If you have the need, THIS is the team to hire! William R. M. Moser

When I called his office I spoke to Jose about the case. I was told Patrick was a pit bull and would fight hard for my son in a military case. Communication was horrible, the first time I spoke to him it felt like I was disrespected told not to speak and he did all the talking. His staff was a pleasure to work with. Him not so much. When my son would have conversation with him he felt same way like it was beneath him to speak to him. The witnesses were never contacted, day of hearing he was shocked to hear and see me there and was told he was never informed of his family's presence. Then I get an email/text stating call office and pay more money. Day of trial the Jag attorney was second chair and my son in middle. Jag said to my son tell him Objection and he refused. We as the family were so angry and frustrated we wanted to fire him and my son said were already hear just let's see where it goes from here. It got worse. He stumbled talking to Judge, always asked to repeat question. He acted like he was very distracted or extremely jet laged he was not tracking at all. Everytime we looked at him instead of paying attention he was on his lap top not following the case. The worst 50k + ever spent. On the 3rd day having no concern for taking care of his client the only thing he cared about was more money. He was not going to stay for day 3 unless he got more money. My advise find another attorney, one who actually cares and not just about money but the client he is representing. After talking to more family's who hired other attorneys for there case more serious than ours they got better representation and people skills with a better out come.

Patrick McLain literally saved my life. I was facing a allegation that carried a life sentence and would have torn me from my family. The opposition was highly motivated to nail me to the wall due to today’s climate of victim hood I was in a perilous position. Patrick is a busy man and so his approach is not tender, but if you need someone to fight a war for you it is not tenderness you need. He is straightforward, honest, and surprisingly emotionally invested in his cases and clients. The man never sleeps. If your case can be won he will win it like he did for me. If it can not be won, he will guide you to the best conclusion. It may hurt but trust this man. I pray I never again need his services but I know who my first call will always be when it comes to legal manners. In regards to Mr McLain reputation. From what I observed he is highly regarded amongst the premiere defense lawyers across the country and I retained his service at the recommendation of a top tier defense lawyer who did not work military cases. In regards to his courtroom tactics. Mr McLain went to war with a prosecutor who used ever dirty trick in the book. The straight up lied and omitted evidence. I have no idea how any of it was legal. Mr McLain remained focused and calm. He always found a way to have the prosecutor pay for their mistakes. We did not win every battle in the court room, due in my opinion to a very biased judge but when the case closed I was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. We won the war. With all the respect in the world, I love you Mr McLain. Thanks for giving me back my life.

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 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!!!

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.

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.

Patrick and his team are great. Patrick is not gong to tell you what you want to hear but what he can do for you. He’s a fighter and dedicated to taking care of you. This is not simply a job to him it’s part of him. Over 2 yrs of my life has been a battle with the Air Force over nothing more than “accusations.” Patrick has been with me the entire time. He did not tell me I was going to win and be free and live happily ever after. Instead he said “I can’t guarantee the outcome but I will fight for you and your family like a Lion!” and he did. I was acquitted on all four charges. His precise knowledge was key in the courtroom as this is his battleground and he knows it. He took control of the court and completely tore the government apart. Patrick saved me from the governments 8 attorneys and endless resources. Patrick and his family have been a blessing to me and my family.

If you have a legal matter in the military, Patrick is the lawyer you want. I've had Patrick on two different occasions to support me in legal issues in my career in which the case was either dropped or found not guilty. Both cases had to do with positive urinalysis. The first case was in 2008 as a junior service member, in which I requested court-martial, and the command dropped the case. The second was in 2021, in which the command sent me to an administrative board instead of allowing me to request court-martial, and the administration board voted in my favor, two to one. Patrick is a true marine and will fight tirelessly and advocate on your behalf to get a positive result. His whole legal team is very professional and available 24/7 to answer your questions and work with you to give you peace in a stressful situation. If you want results, this law office you want.

In times when you are at your most vulnerable, Patrick McLain is the advocate you want in your corner. But he doesn’t just remain in the corner, he surveys the area and gets to know the lay of the land. He pays critical attention to detail and mounts a credible defense. His expertise and his prowess have been emboldened by his experience. And in a world where you can easily get lost in legal jargon and meanings, he aids in navigating you and explaining things in terms that make sense. I knew that in order to seek justice, I needed to find more than an attorney, but a legal expert who saw “me,” who was willing to empathize, yet take down my concerns with expert marksmanship. There will never be enough words to express my gratitude for Patrick (and The McLain team) his authenticity and his willingness to go beyond the extra mile have literally saved me.

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.

I hired this firm, specifically Attorney Eric Durojaiye to represent me in a legal matter recently. Mr. Durojaiye worked diligently on my case and was able to have the matter dismissed. I would like to applaud him for always being knowledgeable and also truthful. There were never any incorrect expectations set in order to convince me to continue with this firm and my questions were always answered appropriately. I would 100% recommend Mr. Durojaiye as legal representation if you have a pending criminal case and would like an attorney with that knowledge and proficiency to obtain a favorable outcome.

Amazing attorney. I never want to have the need for an attorney; however, when I did need one - I am so glad that Patrick McLain was available. He is very blunt. He will tell you like it is - and keep the conversation short. However, when you are in need - he really steps up. Watching him get ready for a hearing is pretty impressive as well. It’s like watching an athlete get ready for game day. He was also great at getting me prepared for our hearing. He kept my mind on track and really prepared me for how to keep the answers focused. He can short, blunt, and harsh! I’m glad he is on my side.

Mr. McLain is a true warrior who will fight for you every step of the way! His representation got me out of a nightmare of multiple unreasonable false accusations. I was in a panic when it started. He helped my wife, and I though this difficult time. After two long days in trial we won what we fought for. It meant a lot to me when he said I was worth it. Mr. McLain gave it his all fighting for me. In the courtroom, he will outsmart anyone. This is a man who will give you his fullest attention. He was always available to take my call anytime no matter what day or time of the week.

Mr. McLain took my case during the height of the Covid pandemic. From thousands of miles away, he was able to put together a case which ultimately resulted in a Not Guilty verdict and acquittal of 3 separate charges. He dealt with a 14 hour time difference among a list of obstacles. He is not only a well spoken, smart, and confident attorney, he is a great man overall. I cannot express how much I appreciate this man and all his hard work. I would hire him again in any situation without question. Absolutely recommend.

Patrick is an extremely professional and reliable attorney. He goes above and beyond his duties as an attorney to ensure his client has all and any resources available to them. Not only is he extremely competent, he is thorough in all of his work to ensure the best possible outcome for his client. Patrick gets to know his clients on a personal level to properly fight for them to the best of his ability. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a hard working and dedicated attorney.

TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: I have known Patrick McLain for approximately ten years and have worked with him. Patrick cares about helping his clients and making a difference in their lives. Patrick is one of the most dedicated and hardworking lawyers that I have ever met and, more importantly, one of the most caring people. Patrick has my highest recommendations and is the lawyer whom I would choose for myself and whom I would recommend to my closest family and friends.

If you’re accused of a crime, hire Mr. McLain. You won’t find someone that works harder to keep you out of a cage. I’ve had Mr. McLain on my case for over 18 months due to a continuation, and he never stopped picking away at any possible government case. His closing argument alone was worth every penny. If you’re looking for someone to hold your hands and comfort you, go see a therapist. If you want someone to fight your case, hire Mr. McLain, and do what he tells you.

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.

Eric Durojaiye is the truth. Hands down the best lawyer I’ve worked with if ever I need another lawyer for any reason he will be the first one I call. If anyone around me needs or ask about a good attorney I’ll point them in his direction. One day turn around and got everything I was hoping I would get. Ask me how I did it I’ll say with the help of GOD and Eric Durojaiye

Hi, Posting anonymously but I just wanted to really show appreciation for the representative who answered my call. None of the other offices in Dallas wanted to get the details of my situation and answer my questions. I'm sorry I didn't get the name, but I had the best experience speaking to him. I will definitely be reaching back to this office for any future needs.

I feel that Mr.McLain represented me well. He is a very matter of fact person how does not want to waste your time. He was quite good at answering my questions. I was cut off many time when I would start on a tangent as to help me stay on track to do what we needed done. I personally liked the way we worked together and with things considered feel it was positive.

Patrick took on a very complex case and laid everything out the way is was. Didn't sugarcoat anything but told us he would fight for us and fight he did. His entire firm was very professional and knowledgable. We where kept informed all the way through and the end result was exceptional. I highly recommend Patrick J. McLain and his firm. Thank You, Patrick.

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 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 took on a very complex case for my son and delivered. He was no nonsense and direct to the point. He and his staff always keep us updated and contacting them was always met with a courteous and professional response. I would highly recommend Mr. McLain to anyone who needs a exceptional attorney to go to bat for them. Thank you Patrick.

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.

During my time I need, Mr. McLain came to my rescue, I was accused of deliberately conducting a crime I was unaware of. I was in a low place, Mr. McLain help me through my case, legally, emotionally and gave me the support I needed to continue forward. I would have not been able to continue this fight for justice with him.

I spoke with Michael McClain (Office Manager) and he was able to answer all my questions when I made my initial phone call to this Law office. He was very professional in providing with me the course of action I should take regarding my situation. In my initial phone call , Michael provided me with steps I should take.

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

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!

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!

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.

Patrick and his team are amazing, they helped within a moments notice. If you want someone who works for you and will communicate with you then these are your people. You can depend on them to attack your case and do everything to take care of your needs! Would and will recommend to friends!

My experience with Eric was wonderful. He was very professional. He handled my situation. Really good I would recommend him. To anybody that's looking for a good lawyer It was a pleasure working with Eric. Eric gets the job done always assure you of what's going on. He's wonderful

Tyla Evans was the best lawyer I could have found last minute! She handled everything so professionally and smoothly and communicated with me every step of the way. My case was handled with so much care and for that I’m forever grateful for trusting her! She’s the RIGHT DECISION!

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.

Patrick is someone who you would want in your corner in court 100% of the time. He’s relentless, passionate, professional, and super knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond for his clients and I would work with him again. Not even a question.

Amazing lawyer and team. He saved my career when all else seemed lost. We won our initial case after a year long battle. Patrick and the team then stuck by my side for the following two years with the lingering effects of the proceedings.

Patrick is very helpful and compassionate he takes his time to evaluate and access your case. He cares about your desired outcome and always make sure to give you the time you need. All charges were dropped, thanks to Patrick’s guidance.

Not proper response or feedback in response to address the issue presented. I don't think the attorney would make your issue a priority due the feedback conveyed while speaking with the paralegal or attorney within the office

My daughters attorney did a professional and exceptional job and got the best possible result we could hope for. He didn’t stop negotiating with the court until he got the result closet to what we wanted! Excellent job!

Mr. McLain and his team were with me every step of the way when I had legal proceedings while serving in the US Air Force. He saved my life, and it was my best decision so far in my career.

Very professional team. Attention to detail is excellent. Patrick McLain is very knowledgeable, efficient, through and compassionate

I highly recommend Eric Durojaiye, and the Law Office of Patrick J. McClain to help you fight for your rights, thank you!!

I would recommend Patrick McLain and his team to anyone in need of a superb criminal defense lawyer in Dallas.

A great leader and better mentor, formed a great connection and couldn’t have done it without him.

Patrick and his team were awesome, I would recommend to anyone looking for advice or counsel.

The best team of lawyers! Answered within minutes of me seeking legal help.

They where unable to help me but provided guidance and expertise …

Very personable and str8t forward. Great Federal Appeals Attorney
