Jacob C. McCrea

When selling a business of 40+ years to a global corporate company, help was needed. After our first meeting Jake was able to break down the many pages of contract. In a very short period, I went from stressed out to in control and understanding of the decisions I needed to make. Jake was able to wor...k with the corporate Lawyers in a positive way and tailor the contract. His ability to break down and amend the contract was a work of art.

My husband and I appreciated the way Jacob kept us constantly updated and relieved much of the anxiety that we had in the legal processes. He understands the needs of his clients, and works hard to meet all expectations. He went above and beyond in navigating us through this lawsuit, which ultimately... ended in our favor (being released). I highly recommend his services, as he very much cares for his clients! Thank you Jacob!

On three different occasions I’ve approached Mr McCrea regarding different contractors failure to perform work correctly, complete a project, and attempting to exploit me by increasing a contract amount after not performing work agreed on by a signed contract. On each instance Mr McCrea provided me... detailed explanation of the laws pertaining to the situation, outlined steps needed to resolve the issue and on one instance worked through the entire litigation process to obtain a judgement. On the other two occasions the contractors resolved the issues favorably to avoid further court action. I would approach Mr McCrea as my go to source on any legal matter for either his expertise or a referral in areas outside his practices expertise. Throughout my life I’ve worked with at least a dozen attorneys on various matters and I place Mr McCrea on the top of my list as having not only integrity, but being thorough and compassionate. I will always reach out to him before seeking a lawyer because I trust his advice and recommendations.

I was stressed out looking for a lawyer to handle my case for me. I had spoken to several lawyers but didn’t feel a good connection with any of them. I happened to call Allegheny Lawyer Referal Service and that’s how I made my first phone call to Jacob. Upon calling him, I found out that he was on a ...vacation but instead of telling me that we’ll speak when he gets back he wanted to hear more about my case, my pain, and my suffering. Right there and then I decided that I would have him represent me. Jacob is, not only an excellent attorney, but a caring counselor and coach. I was in a situation where I was being taken advantage of and I was ready to spend whatever money it took to go after the opposition, but Jacob kept my emotions in check, helped me filter them and helped me analyze the pros and cons of every action. He genuinely cares about his clients and places himself in their shoes to analyze their situation. He is supportive and fair, and he won’t bill you for every single call or email. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well-qualified attorney.
