ZACHARY MCCREADY
California Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist
Formerly in law enforcement, I decided to pursue a law degree because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others I interact with on a daily basis. I felt inspired to focus on the area of criminal defense because of my previous career experience. I truly believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and I enjoy assisting my clients in that fight.
Some attorneys won’t take a case because they don’t think they will be able to win — I don’t work that way. I will do everything I can to help you reach a positive result.
