Exceptional!

I will begin by saying I contacted several attorneys seeking legal advice regarding employment and a benefits issue. It was a complex matter with finite detail and complicated circumstances. Not only was Mr. McRary timely in responding to my initial inquiry, he was extremely knowledgable, thoughtfu...l and sincere throughout the entire process. I truly felt as though his main goal was to genuinely rectify the matter at hand and earning a living was just secondary bi-product for his services. His advice ultimately won our case. Mr. Mcrary’s humility and professionalism are simply unmatched in the legal ring and I strongly suggest you begin and end your legal needs with McRary Law! We are incredibly grateful for your services. D. Carini

Ian McRary at McRary law is your man!

My employer was requiring a DEI training that compelled myself and others to answer questions with their answers, or you could not complete the training. When we let our employer know that we couldn’t answer the questions because it would not be consistent with our religious beliefs and values, they ...told us we would be terminated. This is when I contacted Mr. McRary. Ian was unbelievably quick to respond, very knowledgeable on the matter, and genuinely cared about not just helping with the matter, but also making sure my family was informed and would be able to withstand the process. Ian guided me through trying to work out an accommodation without having to take it to the next level, which would have taken a toll on my family’s finances and wellbeing. In the end (it took us about two weeks) my employer did accommodate and we did not have to answer questions unless they were consistent with our religious beliefs and values. I cannot thank him enough and HIGHLY recommend!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
