Shane Thomas Sears

Mr. Sears specializes in education law. In my experience, the legal issue he represented us on pertained to a county school not honoring my designation as primary residential parent and therefore restricting my children's attendance due to an ex-spouse's objection to their attendance at the local sch...ool in the city we moved. Mr. Sears truly knows this niche of law and I experienced that he has foresight and shares the likely results to anticipate. Mr. Sears communicates his plan and obtains results. He follows up on all his actions and is readily available. He achieves what he says he will and in the appropriate time frame. He communicates clearly. Mr. Sears is a legal leader. He practices with true ethical standards and professionalism. I also have a special needs son and since having had his representation on the above matter, I have not had to battle the school at IEP's for my son's accommodations and services that he is eligible to receive. I believe that Mr. Sears reputation is the reason for my son's current ease of services. IEP's are smooth. Should my son ever need services and be denied services, I would not hesitate to call Mr. Sears.

My wife and I were struggling to get our daughter into the special needs program at her school. Her results were conclusive that she had a learning disability and ADHD after we had multiple appointments with her a Psychiatrist (April 2014) not to mention her own Pediatrician recognized the signs an...d performed some exams. I also have a learning disability and ADHD and I saw the similarities. After presenting all of the medical documentation to the school. They acted like they did not care and skirted their way around the results and placed her in a bogus internal program - do not agree to this program! We did believing the school had our daughters interests at heart which was not true. They actually stated in their review that she did not qualify overruling 2 medically trained professionals. Well, that program was a complete failure so at the beginning of the year, we hired Mr. Shane Sears without hesitation because you need a BIG GUN in your corner to assist your family in navigating through these educational law proceedings with the school board. It is quoted a lot that you never bring a knife to a gunfight. Well, he was and still is our big gun that handled the proceedings remarkably! He is the professional you want to represent your child in your case because he knows educational law very well and he helps you understand your rights and the law so you do not feel overwhelmed and confused. He always had an answer for each question I asked so he knows his law extremely well. I could not believe the results he got for us which was amazing and I thank God everyday that he assisted us in each step of the way during our proceeding with the school. He explained the process all the way to the end and he will always be there for us if the school slips up. I will say when I had my younger son tested and had the same results that my daughter was diagnosed with 2 years earlier. I handed the school the paperwork during registration prior to having Shane join our team with our struggles with the same school. Although I thought we were going to have the same issues all over again; however, when Shane took our case, the school board suprisingly put Connor on an IEP within 3 weeks after having Shane join our proceedings against the school. I know the school figured out that they would have face Shane again so I know deep down that is the reason they took care of our son quickly plus he truly Needed the extra help like my daughter. They did not want to mess with the BIG GUN for a second time! It took the school board 3 months to get Reagan eligible for special education needs services and it was Shane drilling them each every week. The school board is slow and they drag their so act quickly if you feel your child has any type of disability or needs any type of special needs assistance. I HIGHLY recommend Shane take your case. He is a fighter and he will go all the way to resolve your case. In our case he performed remarkably and fought hard!! He educated my family pretty well on what really goes on during these types of proceedings.
