Honest and Knowledgable !

Thanks again for all your help Zach. After not being able to receive my vehicle salesperson license due to a previous petty theft charge that was handled by a horrible Law Office! He turned everything around and gave me guidance with how I needed to proceed and have my petty theft charge expunged. Al...so helped me out with my DMV case which i was clueless about.. He is very knowledgable, with great experience and knows what he is talking about, best of all affordable. You will definitely be the guy I come back to if i ever need any legal advice! I strongly recommend him to anyone who is going through these reviews give him a call:] ps: his colleague Angela was of great assistant as well when needing to contact him. very prompt whether it be a phone call, email or text.

My Second DUI I was scared!

Zack did a stellar job defending my two DUI's. My sister, who is an attorney, read his flyer for DUI defense, which was one of hundreds sent to my house. She felt he had the best flyer regarding flat fees, experience, and familiarity with DUI laws. Though i had appointments with him on multiple occas...ions, called and emailed with many questions, I was never charged additional fees. I didn't need to appear in court once. He handled everything. Ultimately, i received the least of punishment for first DUI offenders: court fees, MADD class, DUI classes, and DMV suspended my license. It was a streamlined process, and he never once postponed a court date. My second DUI could have been devastating for me. I was looking at 90 days jail (since i was still on probation for first DUI,I was liable for jail time of 30 days, plus an additional 60 days for 2nd DUI). Zack knew the judges, requested a different, more lenient judge. I received 60 days home confinement and NO BAIL BOND. Second DUI's usually have a bail set at 25K. Zack was also able to dismiss a drug charge, and i was only charged for driving under the influence and driving with a BAC over .08 (As a condition of my first DUI, i wasn't allowed to drive with any amount of alcohol in my system). I was astounded and elated (relatively). I cannot express my gratitude in words. I feel he's an attorney with high moral standards and integrity. His office staff is friendly and extremely helpful.

Assertive and CURRENT!

I am a 24 year old female and I am a college student pursuing a nursing career. I prided myself for never being involved with the law until last summer. I was busted for speeding in Orange County and stupidly admitted to leaving a beer and barbeque festival. I was ultimately faced with a mandatory... 60 day jail sentence and a DUI. There was no doubt in my mind that I needed an attorney because I did not want to serve this sentence being that I am a college student in school and working. I also knew that there was no way I would opt for a public defender. You may ask yourself and wonder why. A public defender does not have all the time in the world to work with just you. One may also consider the budget deficit and the role of a public defender. Beginning my search for a private attorney was not an easy task because it was all a very unfamiliar process. About a week after the arrest, I retained Zachary McCready as my attorney. Meeting with him, I felt confident in my decision and was ready to begin the overall process. I liked the fact that he worked for LAPD, used to be cop, and understands what it is to be one. He also diligently keeps updated and attends multiple conferences on current and new law, including criminal and civil. How could this not be beneficial for my particular situation, I thought. I was very persistent, assertive with Zach and so was he. Mr. McCready replied to all of my calls and texts rapidly. He also filed several motions for my case to prevent an unfavorable outcome. The DA and first Judge assigned to my case were both very unreasonable. Zachary was able to get a different judge and another more reasonable, DA. Throughout the process, Zachary was very patient, informative, and treated me like a person, not a number. None of my court dates were missed, he continuously walked me through the process the entire time. More importantly, Mr. McCready was able to request that I do my jail sentence at a private jail that worked with my school and work schedule. This was convenient and the best alternative for me at the time. He also got the Judge to grant me permission to complete my jail and alcohol program in Los Angeles County, as I live in Los Angeles and wanted to avoid the commute to Orange County. Currently, Zachary and I still keep in contact because I have to have my misdemeanor expunged for licensing purposes. I have committed myself to Zachary's services for all of the reasons stated above. He knows what he is doing and can guide someone through the confusing, emotionally trying process. For an attorney, you could not ask for a more thorough, sincere, kind, and understanding heart. Thank you, Zach! :)

A great lawyer!

Mr. McCready is fantastic. Period. He is one of those people who takes your welfare quite seriously, which is rare these days. Always responsive, always on time, and very knowledgeable, he explained what was happening to me every step of the way. He also talked me out of panic mode several times, whi...ch is a testament to his ability to work with you as a person, and not just another name on a page. I can't recommend him highly enough!
