Refreshingly wonderful attorney that I highly recommend

Jack did a thorough review of the entire background of the case and gave a detailed analysis of the situation with complete recommendations of all alternatives for a course of action of a case which had been ignored by the prior attorney for over 18 months. Because of his help I was able to save a s...ituation which could have resulted in a devastating result without his help. I really appreciate his eagerness to help and his prompt response to my request for assistance.

Mr. McRae has my complete confidence

Jack is completely trust worthy and extremely professional. He is very responsive to requests and very clear in his communications. Jack assisted in my divorce and was able to handle difficult situations with complete confidence. He defused some rather volatile situations with solutions that we...re fair to both parties involved but always keeping his client (me) in mind. He insured that I did not come out on the short end, but didn't suggest anything that would have undermined the other party. I am very pleased with my relationship with Jack and will certainly call upon him should needs arise in the future.

Reasonable priced attorney

I found Jack McRae while searching for a low cost divorce attorney online. His website looked very professional and contained a lot of information on what to expect from a divorce procedure so I decided to give him a call. My first call was surprisingly very informative. First I expected to speak to ...a receptionist, but instead Jack answered the phone. As I explained my marital situation, Jack was very compassionate while giving me the good and bad of getting a divorce. He was upfront with me with the costs and the emotional expectation of a divorce. This is very rare as I feel most attorneys are in it for the money. He has always returned my calls in a timely manner and does follow up with me when I forget to send him information needed. His fees are very reasonable for the Los Angeles area. I would definitely refer Jack to anyone who is thinking of getting a divorce.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Jack. I worked with Jack on real estate law matters when he was working as a real estate broker. I found him to be capable, dedicated, thorough, easy to talk to, and enjoyable to work with. While I have not dealt with him specifically in his capacity as a family law lawyer, these are universally desirable traits. I also think that Jack's broad experience in the real estate world can be a helpful as it applies to marital assets, etc."
