Jack McClelland
PDF Bio
Jack began his legal career working for a plaintiffs’ litigation firm in Seattle where he advocated for his clients’ rights at school and in the workplace. When he transitioned to estate planning he drew from his previous work as a litigator to help his clients create estate plans that are easy to administer, minimize conflict, and reflect their wishes.
Jack demonstrates Three60 Law Group’s holistic approach to estate planning in several ways. Open and honest communication is the best way to create plans that are tailored to each client’s needs, so Jack is careful to actively engage his clients in the planning process. Helping clients plan for their present circumstances, protect their family in the future, and establish their lasting legacy is what draws Jack to this area of practice and is why he completed an advanced degree in Taxation at the University of Washington. Jack knows from his experience with his own family that life can throw many curveballs, and that proper estate planning helps families through those hard times. Jack brings the same level of care and attention to his clients as he did to his own family.
In addition to his work at Three60 Law Group, Jack volunteers at the King County Housing Justice Project. Jack lives in Seattle and spends his free time hiking, climbing, and kayaking in the Pacific Northwest.
