Great Consumer Advocate Attorney

I was being sued by a Giant debt purchasing company and I hired Attorney Jason Shear to represent me. After 1 1/2 years of litigation he beat the Giant and won all 5 cases!!! In addition, he is a Great Attorney in many ways: He is very knowledgeable of the debt collection industry Laws and Regulation...s, he works on your case immediately and he deals with you directly. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Haunting Old Debt

Jason had assisted my husband with an old debt matter, so I immediately contacted him and inform him of an income execution letter I received in the mail from a debt over 19 years old (no previous contact from creditor or anything showing on my credit report). Mr. Shear scheduled an appointment for ...me to meet with him the following afternoon. I then hired Jason to represent me with this matter. Jason told me he would be requesting my file from the court, and once he had an opportunity to review the file he would draw up the proper paperwork to obtain a court date. Mr. Shear was always available for questions, and kept me updated as to what was taking place along the way. Needless to say the outcome couldn't have been better. Jason was able to get the judgment executed vacated.

Don't let collection agencies bully you!

Jason did an outstanding job for me. Had a shady collection agency out of Buffalo Freeze my savings account from an ancient credit card dept.. Had consulted with other attorneys and they said I'm screwed basically. Talked with Jason, who's office was an hour away. He drove in three different times .... Fought like hell for me in front of two different judges . The opposing attorney even brought in another attorney from a large firm in Buffalo. I was proud of my attorney. It was a battle. I could tell the judge was impressed . Judgement was lifted and account unfrozen. His flat rate was very fair and would hire him again .

Job Well Done

After making a recent purchase I received in the mail a wage garnishment letter. This was the first time I was notified about this matter. I decided to Google Collection Lawyers where Jason's name had appeared with a great testimony on how he helped another client out with a similar situation. At fi...rst, I wasn't sure about obtaining a lawyer to assist me, but it was best thing I did. Jason's knowledge (with outstanding debt time frames), fair in his pricing, and was available to help me right away. He informed me of what documentation I needed to provide him with, and continued to update me along the way. Jason was able to get this reversed since the debt collection agency did not follow proper protocol. A job well done!

Debt collection

I hired Jason Shear as my lawyer back in 2010 concerning a debt collection case. During this case that was quite stressful I might add Jason from the very beginning eased my frustration and stress. He immediately took charge of the situation and laid it all out for me. Jason showed excellent communic...ation skills along with a pro active attitude. Jason assured me of good results and he delivered. Jason provided me with excellent communication and 4 years later I just hired Jason again with excellent results. I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone.
