Shane Thomas Sears

Shane Sears represented my daughter during a dispute with our school/district. I contacted Shane after several of my daughter’s physicians suggested that I consult with an attorney regarding the problems we were having with the school. One doctor recommended Shane specifically. After watching his fan...tastic video on how to avoid IEP Pitfalls and Traps, I was so impressed with his extensive knowledge of education law that I emailed him immediately. Shane called me just a few hours after I sent the email. He was extremely patient and easy to talk to. After our first conversation, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. From that point on, Shane handled all dealings with the school and I was able to focus on my daughter and her health. I had requested an IEP evaluation for my daughter multiple times – both in writing and in person – for more than three years. A few days after my first conversation with Shane, the school had contacted him and a referral meeting was scheduled. He accomplished in less than a week what I couldn’t do in several years. Having Shane there at the meetings was priceless. The meetings are intimidating and extremely stressful, to say the least. Without Shane’s counsel, I would have been lost. He is truly an expert when it comes to education law. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and effective advocate for my daughter. I can never thank Shane enough for his advice and assistance during an extremely difficult and emotional time. He was always patient, understanding, knowledgeable and honest. His priority is doing what is in the child's best interest. My only regret is that I didn’t contact him years ago!
