PROVEN AGGRESSIVE LITIGATION EXPERIENCE WITH COMPASSIONATE PERSONAL ATTENTION FOR THE INJURED. CALL ME FOR A FREE CONSULTATION! 714-627-2622

About me: I used to litigate for the big insurance companies - representing giants like Amazon, Tesla, and Costco.  After seeing the questionable practices from insurance and their attorneys, I started a firm with my brilliant partner to protect the working class and injured in California.  I have handled thousands of workers compensation/personal injury/employment cases, and know every trick in the book the other side tries to pull to deny claims/medical treatment and cut costs.  I'm a friendly reasonable guy with clients, but extremely aggressive at trial.

Comfort in a turbulant sea
When I woke up in the hospital from a work related injury I had no idea how I was going to handle everything that was headed my way. I needed help but did know where to find it, but with some help from my family I found Mr McCreary. From that point on he was there at any time for questions and advise. He handled all communication with workers comp. and their lawyers. Had my best interest in hand at all times and continued this level of service even after judgement was assessed. Not just a lawyer but a friend as well.

FAST RESPONSE AND DETAILED
Grant was fast to respond and actually gave specific, useful information. He was honest and upfront; not insulting or belittling. He listens and even emails you at your email address with the information you discussed. Very human and kind which is difficult to get an attorney. Would highly recommend him . He took his own time to lay out a plan which I am working on with him.

Great Attorney
Grant was awesome, communication is very important to me, Grant was almost always available and if he wasn't he would get back to me asap. Everything was explained to me as far as what to expect the process, etc... I'm satisfied with the outcome Grant got me, especially after being ignored by my employer for almost 6 months. I would highly recommended Injury Compensation Law PC

Amazing Lawyer!
Being in the Worker's Compensation field for almost two decades, I am very familiar with many Applicant Attorney offices and how they handle their cases. I took the risk to try Attorney J.Grant McCreary based on his excellent reviews. I was so pleased with how he handled my case and it didn't disappoint me one bit! He's very professional, extremely efficient and he saves you a lot of worries because he keeps you updated on any progress of the case. He never failed to respond to any of my inquiries. He and his company very well deserved their amazing reviews and awards they received. You will never regret having this team on your side. Highly recommended !

Excellent firm
I had an excellent experience working with Grant, his knowledge and insights have helped me navigate my injury case to a fair result. It is an extremely stressful experience to be injured and then have to not only get proper medical treatment but help negotiating with the big insurance companies.

A valuable consultation
i called Grant in regards to a worker's comp/pi case. I found him to be very knowledgeable. He knew the best way to handle the billing between the two cases and had a necessary awareness of the possible complications with the overlap of the two. He also had a RARE understanding of the problems that accompany tbi. If I were at the beginning of this process I would definitely have met with him and possibly hired him. I would recommend anyone considering hiring an attorney in worker's comp, personal injury or employment law to call him for a consultation and then go from there.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Grant is exceptional at what he does - an absolute unit in the field of Workers' Comp. If I were injured, I would not trust ANY other attorney with my case. I've been in the same courtroom to witness him run circles around opposing counsel, and even Judges ask for his opinion and guidance on certain issues."

Workers compensation Attorney | May 24
Relationship: Co-worker
"I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. McCreary. He is smart, tenacious, and extremely knowledgeable. He used to work for the insurance companies, so he knows how to out-smart them and beat them at their own game. He's definitely someone you want on your side."
Workers compensation Attorney | May 11
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"John McCreary gained invaluable experience on how the employer-insurance company side of workers' compensation evaluates claims by working as a defense-side attorney for a few years before switching over to the employee side. His experience on how the insurance companies and claims administrators approach work injuries now serves his clients with work injuries well. Also, he writes solid smart answers on this website on workers' compensation issues."
