About John

Biography

Proven aggressive litigation experience with compassionate personal attention for the injured. Call me for a free consultation! 888-664-6824

There is a lot of cross-over with workers compensation here - including discrimination, wrongful termination, and overlapping benefits like FMLA/ADA/etc. We find that, unfortunately, employers do discriminate against injured workers - and that is where we hit them hard!

My primary experiences here are with car accidents and premises liability, as well as cross-over cases with workers compensation. The flexibility of medical treatment compared to workers compensation means I can get my clients the best medical care possible for full recovery and benefits!

My years of work comp litigation on both defense and applicant side make these cases my area to shine! I truly love litigation and going to trial to fight for my clients!

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 a...ccompany 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.

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.

"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."

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."
