About

I'm a criminal law specialist, certified by the California Board of Legal Specialization. Less than 1% of attorneys in California have this designation. I'm a top-rated attorney in LA and Orange County as rated by the American Society of Legal Advocates. Listen: not all lawyers get great results for their clients. I do. Some lawyers charge outrageous prices. I do not. To put it bluntly: you want to win your case but you can't afford a $100,000 retainer. The big firms can't give you the responsive and affordable representation that I can. They have too much overhead. Some firms that quote rock-bottom prices will take whatever money you give them but they will not work hard to win your case.Let's get real. You want to hire an experienced fighter who has both criminal trial experience and law enforcement experience. Eight years of experience as a cop have taught me how to deal with the police and beat them at their own game. I've read their play book and I know how to beat them.I've gotten cases dismissed without my clients having to pay for trial or set foot inside a courthouse. I've won trials for my clients. What is more important is that I care about my clients, as my client reviews and professional endorsements attest.Don't bet your entire future on an unprepared attorney or an expensive firm that doesn't care about you.

I hired Zack to represent me on a misdemeanor charge in Burbank CA and was very pleased with him from day 1. Zack overtook my case from my first attorney who just did not do a great job of representing me and my case. Once Zack took over he immediately went to work filing motions and actually fighting the charges against me equipped with his inside knowledge of the police atmosphere and environment from his days as a Los Angeles Police Officer. He challenged the City of Burbank until the very end and got our case the desired outcome we hoped to get. These situations are not fun and can be extremely nerve wracking so having someone like Zack in your corner fighting for you really makes the process smoother and less stressful. He cared a lot about helping me be victorious in my case and I would 100/100 recommend him to anyone in need of any type of criminal defense situation.

Zack McCready is incredibly good at getting criminal cases dismissed before trial. My brother hired a lawyer for his case who was terible. Took $6000 for trial and then lost it! When I got in trouble for stealing a credit card (I didn't do it but that's what I got arrested for), zack got the case DISMISSED and I didn't even have to pay for a trial. I didn't plead guilty to anything. The case just went away. THANKS, ZACK! I owe you one, bro!

I’ve been calling multiple lawyers and people about a case I have and he was the only one who answered and gave me the time of day to speak with him. He informed me on things I needed to know and lead me in the right direction even though he personally couldn’t help me with my case. Thank you so much!

Mr. McCready’s and his team worked with me to help me gain full and sole custody for my children against our abuser and a restraining order during and after final judgment. I am so thankful for his team helping me to have a great strategy to prove my innocence and they won my case. Mr. Mccready and his secretary answered my questions so promptly even after work hours. They were probably annoyed with me because I had so much evidence surrounding the case; however, they were so patient with me and never judged me for being overwhelmed. Mr. McCready gave me honest answers to my questions and he is very loyal. He takes the Law very seriously in which I can agree with. Mr. McCready’s background by him working as a policeman helped me win a closing argument. He is a bit pricey since I do not earn much, but honestly every penny was worth it. I paid for a wonderful outcome and for the safety for me and my children. His online staff is impeccable. I’m so thankful I reached out to his online staff on his website. Within an hour he called me and it was on a Sunday. Mr. McCready showed up on time to all of my court dates. Mr. McCready was also very courteous to the judge and opposing council (whom I would suggest opposing council is a crook herself; being very unethical in her approaches, also by her applauding my respondent and witnesses to consistently lie under perjury and under oath.) Mr. Mccready defended me when I felt defenseless to overcome a hard obstacle in my life for several years dealing with a habitual abuser. Zachary is very courteous and methodical in his approaches as well, I’m glad they took the time to thoroughly think things threw. I will definitely recommend him and use him in the future if needed. His prices is reasonable with the amount of work that would go into the case. One of his other attorney’s was so nice to me an offered me and my witness a refreshment at one of their offices. Mr. McCready also validated me when I needed to hear it the most. They basically held my hand guiding me throughout the whole process. Thank you so much I am almost left speechless. I’m going to buy life saver candies for them because they saved my life!

Mr. Mccready has handled a case for a relative. Even through COVID and a very complicated case, Mccready Law Group has been available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend Mccready Law Group!

The McCready law firm did an excellent job for us when I hired him to represent my wife in a criminal felony case. He resolved the issue in an expeditious manner once he had all the facts and all charges were dropped thanks to him and his firms detailed and diligent work. Can not ask for a better attorney.

I cannot go into the details of my case. But let me just tell you you never want to find yourself in a legal bind without representation. I am so fortunate that I found James McCready! I had next to no hope at the beginning of all of this but thankfully Mr. McCready was able to help us come out with a W! Truly thank you again!

It's rarely good when you have to contact an attorney. From my first consultation with Mr. McCreqady, I can tell he is someone you can count on. He responds promptly and of course is very professional and knowledgeable drawing from years of experience in criminal defense. He explained the process, then thoroughly described the possible outcomes and his strategy. Knowing I have his backup is very reassuring.
