Shane Thomas Sears

I must say that this has been a great experience. Shane Sears allowed me to be relieved daily. He worked diligently and consistent in making sure that I was pleased and that he took everything in consideration to make sure every decision and every response was in the best interest of my son, who is i...n high school. The level of communication between his firm and I was exceptional. I never had to wonder nor did I have to write questions down to ask. I emailed/ called as needed. Every phone call and every email was returned. Shane Sears is very knowledgeable and replicable in representing his clients. I would definitely recommend/refer him to others.

Mr. Sears was able to communicate to me my sons rights and handle all communication in between myself and the school. He was available for any questions or concerns I had and LISTENED to me and was able to determine what my son needed and was able to get the school to cooperate and do what my sons ne...eded

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. Shane, we than you from that bottom of our hearts because this successful outcome would not have happened without your counsel! You are our number one ACE! I will recommend you to each person that needs advice in the situation we have just faced. You are 100% in our book and many thanks 1000 times over!! You are a 6 STAR performer in our book. Shane is an extremely hardworking and dedicated attorney that will battle all the way to the end to achieve the goals that your case needs in order to come to an amicable and successful conclusion! Thank you, Shane!

I contacted Mr. Sears concerning issues with my son who attends elementary school within the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education. He has special needs that consisted of Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Mixed Receptive Disorders, and others that are not listed. My son was removed from his IEP exce...pt for speech and placed on the behavioral plan within the school. This was working because he is a one on one child that had to have that attention in order to succeed on an everyday basis at school. After months of dealing with the school and awaiting reevaluation from the BOE I contacted Mr. Sears through the advise of his doctor. Mr. Sears took my case serious and treated me with the utmost respect. Through his knowledge and intelligence he was able to meet and demand action from the BOE during a resolution hearing. He has made sure that the BOE upholds their commitment to my son as well as providing me with the communication that a parent deserves. I highly recommend Mr. Sears for any and all educational matters concerning children with special needs because will he do everything legally and ensure consistency for the child. Mr. Sears also had one characteristic that sets him off from other attorneys and that is communication. He would talk and converse with me on a civilian level. He is an individual that I have recommended to several other parents who are having the same issue with their children throughout the surrounding counties. In closing, Mr. Sears, has ensured that my son will be obtaining all the accommodations in education that he is owed so that he can have a successful education. There is not and will never be enough "thank yous'" I can give this man for a job well done.

Mr. Sears was able to obtain a settlement in a case were we had purchased a vehicle with an undisclosed salvage title. He was very knowledgeable of the laws specific to our problem. He kept me informed timely with every aspect of our case. He came through for us and I consider him to be very trustwo...rthy. Our case was handled swiftly and without complications. I highly recommend Mr. Sears!
