Works for YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I met Attorney JJ Sears at Salem District Court Holding Cell at a time in my life THAT I JUST ABOUT givin up ON LIFE. Besides my SON being KILLED on August 23th 2014, in Peabody MA. My entire Mother's side of the Family had Convinced my Son's Father that I must of had some thing to do with it. Sure w...hy NOT! Besides the FACT they DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ME, and as for my SON, HE NEVER EXISTED ON BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAY'S AND EVERY other SPECIAL day's. They're the kind of FAMILY that ONLY CALL'S when they HAVE NO ONE ELSE to BORROW $, or BASICALLY NEVER, pay you back. TALKING TRASH behind your back. No matter HOW MUCH YOU HELP them. A Family inbarisment to all the other people that ACTUALLY WORKS HARD enough to NOT end up JUST LIKE THEM. Besides the once in a while run into,"Hey how's it going" every once in a while, kinda relationship. The night in questioned, Baby Daddy and I were together that entire weekend. Some kinda Father he turned out to be. My Son & I stayed clearly away from the TROUBLED FAMILY members because of the situations & stealing and lying they did. Longest Story in Short. Jeremy Sears, came to me with Concern, Respectfully agreed some things were not looking right. Attorney Sears, noticed a lot of Extremally Vital Variations and Inconsticies in the Police Report that was Documented just like an open Case that was still being handled in another Court & County,. Identical in the situation being brought forth. After seeing the type of Company I had surrounded myself with, since my son's murder, had also given me an extreme case of, CHRONIC POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER! (CPTSD) untreated It was seriously running my life with my very own, "SELF DESTRUCTIVE"downwards spiral also not being able to clearly see the realization of the World & people in my life at the time. I was killing myself slowly in due time. The people like my FAMILY & SO CALLED FRIEND'S, were making sure I wouldn't recover from this Traumatic Tragedy, that I clearly had no clue what I was thinking about besides Running away from the very possible people that were involved with my Son's dissmized. After seeing how I got myself into another bad situation, by relying on people that DIDN'T CARE ABOUT my well being or my Son's. I started vigorous counselings, and I got a chance to look at the bigger pictures. He was my only visitor in my extremely short time in DOC. Sear's & his team continued to find me helpful resources towards my situation. Attorney Sear's actually Cared Enough to get me to see what I was doing & I didn't realize how much efforts, unti all Charges were Dropped because, Jeremy Sear's didn't want me to go through any more stress and trauma. I would recommend Sear's to anyone. I believe in Attorney Sear's working hard for people like me, that were lost & the people I relied on fealed to care about my distress, hurt, and pain , during the time I needed support & people that care the most. They took advantage of my miserable situation and did what ever they could to keep it Miserable. Why would they want to help someone they never can be, Jealousy & Hatred tried to destroyed my life & all that I Created. Attorney J Sear's see's what the World can do to People. He saw through ppl, that were trying to finish what little I had been left by the Voltaire's. Voltaire's that just couldn't stand the, LOVE, & CARE I had for others, than me. I didn't realize what value I truly was worth, at the time!"My world came crashing down overnigh"! Now maybe I can possibly help some one just like myself back then 1 day. I almost threw in the towel. Sear's Not only saved me from myself, but Helped me find a 2nd Chance too change my mindset, & OPENED my EYES to see the importants of paying attention with who I surround myself could cost me more than my freedom. Now, I have time, making up for lost time! Still Healing always, one moment at a time. May God, Bless you Attorney J,J, Sear's & May Jesus, Bless you're Circle's you Hold Closest. Amen

"I endorse this lawyer. Jeremy Sears is simply a terrific person and an equally terrific lawyer. He is self-less, hard-working, cares deeply about his clients and his work product, and, most significantly, cares about improving the justice system in which we as attorneys operate. Jeremy is not a lawyer who views clients as just another billable hour; to the contrary, Jeremy cares deeply about the individuals he serves and the challenges they face both within a courtroom and beyond. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
