His insight set my mind at ease regarding my legal issue. I would highly recommend The Mccready Law Group to any in need of legal counsel. Thank you. read more

As a first-time offender, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the court process, and it was honestly one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I was on the fence about whether to go with a public defender or invest in a private attorney, but looking back, hiring Jill at McCready Law Group was the best decision I could have made. From day one, Jill walked me through every step of the process and made sure I understood all of my options. She took the time to explore every possible avenue and never treated my case like "just another file." When I was facing the possibility of 90 days in jail, two years of probation, and other serious consequences, she stayed calm, focused, and strategic. What really stood out was her dedication. She communicated with the district attorney before court even began, which often allowed my case to be handled first instead of waiting for hours. More importantly, she did not back down in negotiations and fought to get me the best possible outcome. In the end, my case was resolved with no jail time and no probation... far better than I ever thought possible. I truly believe I would not have received the same level of attention or achieved the same result without her. Hiring Jill wasn't just about spending money... it was an investment in my future and it paid off. I hope I never need legal help again, but if I do, I will absolutely return to McCready Law Group. I can't recommend Jill highly enough. read more

I did not personally hire McCready Law Group -- my mother did. However, my credit card was used in connection with this matter without my authorization, and I am currently disputing charges exceeding $3,000. When I raised concerns about the unauthorized charges and initiated a dispute, I received communications from the firm that escalated the situation rather than resolving it professionally. The messages included allegations of fraud and statements indicating they would pursue criminal complaints if the chargebacks were not reversed immediately. As someone with documented disabilities and who relies on a service dog for medical support, the tone and escalation of these communications caused significant stress during an already difficult situation. My experience was that billing concerns were not handled in a clear or professional manner, and instead became confrontational and pressure-driven. I am sharing this so others are aware to carefully monitor authorization, billing practices, and communication style in any engagement. read more

Dismissed in 3 months When faced with a possible misdemeanor I started looking for a reputable attorney. Upon seeing all the fantastic reviews from Avvo and others I scheduled my initial free consultation with Zach in October 2024. He explained that a diversion program was most suitable for my case to be dismissed. He advised taking Anger management classes which I did before the first hearing in December. At a next hearing in March Zach interacted with the judge at the court and my case was dismissed before even going to diversion! Thank you very much for your precious help and knowledge and desire to help people, Zach! read more

My brother got into a complicated (murd .Related) case . I interviewed about 10 attorneys to represent him. They all told us basically the same thing, that my brother would probably serve time, Zack was the last attorney I contacted I was EXHAUSTED.

I had a problem regarding parking at my home near the beach. I rent a duplex, and the neighbor filed a restraining order, without any warning. My regular attorney recommended McCready Law Group, as this was a criminal situation that was out of his and my realm. All aspects were handle by Zack, and his associate attorneys. It was quick, professional, and relieved my stress. His price was fair, and the court trial was fast, professional, and not only did I win, but I was awarded full attorney fees. In addition, Zack was on call for questions on weekends, and nights, throughout in order to alleviate the anxiety. read more

I caught a bogus Temporary Restraining order case from a vindictive Ex, causing my firearms to be taken and tarnishing my reputation. Zach and his team kept the pressure on for her to pony up evidence and "prove" her case. In the end she had been seeking a 5 year order solely to harm me personally and did not show up to the last court date causing the judge to dismiss with prejudice. Zach and his team went above and beyond to help me get this off my back and I'm grateful to them. They were all professional and responsive, Zach doesn't throw sugar on things but gives it to you in facts and legal terms and precedents so you can make sense of the situation. I don't expect to need a defense attorney ever again but if I do I will make only one call. Money well spent, thank you Zach and the team at Mccready Law. read more

Zack Mcreedy" is who you need to council you. He's personal and very informative, he has the experience, insight, knowledge to represent you on your criminal case, and family law. I hired him on both criminal and family law. He was able to reduce my sentencing to No-Jail time, minimal community service for all the Rukus I caused. I was looking at a yr in jail possibly. He's just a fantastic attorney period. My Family law case, which is linked to my criminal law case, he is still working on my family law case. He has given me a sense of security and piece of mind. He has also represented me in my restraining order which is also connected to all three cases. Zack has absolutely worked with the city attorneys (Prosecutor's) and got me such a good deal, I had to write a review. read more

Zack's knowledge of the law is mind blowing, and left me feeling very comfortable. I would highly encourage anyone with the need for legal assistance to reach out to McCready Law Group! read more

Zach took the time to hear my case and have good, honest advice. I felt comfortable explaining my situation with good feedback.

McCready failed me 100% I hired him based off of his reviews.. and his aggressiveness over the phone when I first called. I should have paid attention to the small details.. like his office having no furniture just a few boxes of papers. And every time I went in there to pay him..he had a different front desk girl.. all those fake reviews most def had people lining up because of their desperate situations with the court system. Mc greedy was doing a COVID special for $6k up front or $7.5k over 3 months. I unfortunately had to pay the extra 1500 over 3 months, and believe me he hounded me for the last payment sending me text messages late at night etc. He got all his money and as long as my weak case was dismissed and I kept a clean record, ide be okay with paying him. But that's not what happened. The case lasted a year which is understandable with the long beach court system. But I didn't get any breaks whatsoever with having him appear for me. They showed him very little respect in that court room.. It was a burglary charge, that was a misunderstanding. I even had the person that was with me at this supposed burglary coming to court with me every time because he was a witness and knew it was wrong. Long story short, at my arainment I was offered a year in county. And a felony. With McCready after he had relieved himself from council because I would not go to trial with him, my offer was at 2 years. 7 grand alot of stress and and a year later and a worse offer. I wound up with the same public defender I began with..and after the public defender mentioned getting a letter written from my current employer. As well as the letters that he had no idea about that McCready never submitted to him from my passed employers. I got no jail time and summary probation. But like I said McCready left me hanging with a prison term. I would never recommend him. He took my money and got me a worse deal. read more

A former client became unhinged and started making false accusations against me. Zach gave me sage counsel and took affirmative action to make the issue quickly go away. I was impressed with his professional demeanor and responsiveness. One of his strengths is his law enforcement background which he leverages to its full extent. I give Zach my highest recommendation. read more

I am very pleased with the outcome and the work that went into my case by this very thorough and respectable law firm. Zack made me feel heard the first time we met, his staff is kind and very helpful. I lost my dear Sister during this awful process and they could not have been nicer to my family and I. They handled my case without me ever having to enter the courtroom to be re-traumatized by the same man that's been trying to destroy my life for years. I feel like I have my dignity and my voice back. Shavon needs a phat raise I believe she is a paralegal but she was also my grief counselor, best friend and confidante. She is a special person and I will never forget her. Worth every penny. read more

It has been a week since I emailed Mr. McCready and I have not received a response. Having any type of legal problem let alone a criminal case is truly one of the most stressful things it can happen in anyone's life. The lack of feedback and response is unprofessional and inconsiderate especially when you put your complete trust in a professional stranger. Your life basically depends on his actions or in this case lack of action. I have been a Yelp type of person for many many years when choosing professionals and so far it has been accurate. I picked Mr. McCready based on the Yelp feedback, but It was shockingly disappointing! I am even wondering the validity of his "excellent" feedbacks. read more

Thank you Zack and your team. Even after my hearing. Zack would help with any questions I had about the my case. Highly recommended. Thank you .! read more

Right off the back- he shared his experience with cases similar like mine.

After being wrongfully accused last year I hired Zachary to represent and help me clear my name out and prove my innocence, and let me just tell you all that it was definitely the best decision I've made. The very first time we met i could tell he was ready to work and that he knew what he was doing. The DA ended up dropping the case and we didn't have to show up in court. Zach was very good with communicating as well he always gives me updates regarding the case and also checks in with me with how I was doing emotionally and gives me advices. I definitely hired the best attorney and also gained a friend with him. If ever i get in trouble again (hopefully not) I would definitely and won't hesitate to hire Zach again. He's very reasonable with his price too. read more
