Professional, as well as personable and highly attentive!

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!

Highly recommend working with Jacob

As new business owners we had a lot of questions and Jacob was able to answer all of them, while handling all of the necessary legal paperwork to get our business going. We knew we were in good hands and didn’t have to worry about legal issues with Jacob as our lawyer. We can’t recommend him enough!

Prompt and Professional Lawyer

Jake is extremely professional and prompt in his communication. Any time I had a question, he would respond to me quickly, even in the evenings after business hours. He wrote a very detailed legal easement for me and also assisted me with other legal documents. I found him to be very knowledgeable, i...ntelligent and well-informed in many legal matters. He was very quick to get everything taken care of and always kept me in the loop. When I had a legal issue arise, he took the time to address all of my questions and concerns and I never felt rushed or confused about what was going on. He always made me feel like I was his number one priority. I would recommend him one hundred percent without hesitation to anyone who needs a lawyer. He is extremely fair and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Honest, Down to Earth

I hired Jacob to help me resolve a 2 1/2 year old insurance claim. He is one of the most dedicated, hard working gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. My issue has been resolved and would like to say that I would honestly be able to recommend Jacob to anyone who is in need ...of an attorney. Thanks Jacob for your diligence and all the hard work.

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.

  • 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.
