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!

Detailed and prompt

Jake helped me review a document prior to signing it to make sure there weren't any unintended consequences of the agreement. He reviewed the document quickly and got back to me with specific recommendations for changes. I appreciate Jake's knowledge and thoroughness, and would definitely recommend h...im for contract work.

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.

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.

Above the Bar

Mr. McCrea represented me concerning a criminal matter and its nice to finally find a lawyer whom responses to his clients request and is not afraid to speak up in the court room. I have extensive experience with the criminal courts and several of pittsburghs top attorneys, and Mr.McCrea is without a... doubt the best of these attorneys. He want above whats considered normal practice for attorneys in the pittsburgh area. His demeanor is comforting and provides a client with a trusting atmosphere, which is important when dealing with criminal cases. I would strongly recommend Mr.Mccrea to anyone involved with a criminal case. Pittsburgh needs more attorneys with his dedication and straight forward attitude.
