MR. JACOB C. McCREA, BEACON OF HOPE

Mr. Jacob C. McCrea was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likehood of a satisfactory resilution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from unjust situation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself. I am e...ternally grateful for his service and l hereby recommend Mr. Jacob C. McCrea without reservation. Thank you.

Thorough, detail-oriented, and responsive

I contacted Mr. McCrea for guidance in setting up the contract for a business partnership into which I was entering. Aside from complete satisfaction with the professionalism of his work, I was deeply impressed with his willingness to take as much time as necessary, both electronically and in person,... to ensure that all of my questions were answered and concerns were addressed. In addition, I applaud Mr. McCrea for his self-awareness and network of professional connections in the Pittsburgh area; I have several times consulted with him in regards to other legal matters, and, in the cases where he did not feel it was within his realm of expertise, he was able to provide me with several solid references for attorneys with more applicable practices.

Great Lawyer, Compassionate, and Hardworking

I reached out to Mr. McCrea looking for some legal help with some employment issues, and I was very pleased with the results. Not only did he take an adequate amount of time to review the issues with me, but he was also available by phone or email at any time without delay. Overall, he handled the ma...tter very professionally, gave great advice, and effectively took care of the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend him, he's an outstanding lawyer.

excellent commercial lawyer

Mr. McCrea represented me when I needed help with a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement with my employer. He did a great job of ensuring that the agreement properly protected my interests. I found him to be very easy and fair to deal with.

Above and Beyond

Working with Mr. McCrea was an excellent experience. He went above and beyond what I would stereotypically expect from an attorney. He did extra research, was kind, patient and took the time to explain in detail each step of a stressful insurance claim. His rates were fair, and he provided the flexib...ility to work around my chaotic schedule. He was able to reach a very reasonable settlement with the insurance company, which I could not be more thankful for.
