Debt Collectionn

Jason is experienced and effective. He negotiated my debt after a divorce and got me back on track after a financial loss. I highly recommend Jason.

Collection Case

We hired Jason to settle a litigation from a collection company. Jason is extremely knowledgeable about cases such as these. He was not only able to settle the case completely in our favor, he also was able to secure a penalty and we received a substantial settlement back from the collection compan...y due to unlawful practices. I highly recommend Jason for any collection related issues. You are not going to find a more knowledgeable or more committed lawyer to litigate your case.

If you need help, he is the lawyer to go to!

I had received a summons from a law group suing me on behalf of a credit card company. Not knowing what to do or where to go on how to handle this, I knew I needed a lawyer to guide me. I found Mr Shear on google and gave him a call. He was professional from the start. He told me what I needed to d...o, what he was going to do, and how this case was going to go. He took all the information I had in regards to the debt and explained that what the debt collection attorney had done to me that was in violation of the law...something I didn't know and would have just paid them outright without question if I didn't get the guidance from Mr. Shear. After a few weeks of going back and forth with their attorney, Mr. Shear called me with the great news that not only did they erase the debt, but I was also awarded a judgment for what they did. I could not have been more pleased. If you need someone on your side in dealing with this type of situation, talk to Mr. Shear. He is someone who will fight for you.

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.
