Shane Thomas Sears

A friend of mine referred me to Shane. My friend said he was a good lawyer, and believe you me, he is. Shane is a sincere man, and he made me feel at ease, when we met the first time, what I liked the most about Shane, is his calm demeanor, and patience. When I was talking to him, he didn’t make feel... like he was in a hurry to take his next appointment. I had problems with a neighbor and her dogs threatening me, my family, my hired help, to the point her dogs tried to attack us. I got angry and threatened her, after her father and brother threatened us, on our property, by waiting on us, to come home from church, and confronted us over her dogs. She also threatened my mom in person, with her dog not on a leash, on our property. When my mother would not answer the door, she called her and threatened her on the phone, accusing me of poisoning her dogs, because they were sick. I had contacted the animal control, their boss, the head police officer, and the mayor’s office. I spoke to the mayor, in person, and filed a complaint against my neighbor with the magistrate’s office. I had video evidence, photos, police reports, and three witnesses. She filed a harassment threat, with the magistrate, in which she stated, I threatened to kill her. I had to go to court on April 10, my neighbor didn’t show up. The prosecutor decided to give her another chance to show up. I had to go to court on June 26, in that hearing, she agreed to me pleading guilty, and the charges would be dropped. Shane didn’t want me to do that, because, it would go on my record. Shane said, if we didn’t take the deal, the case would go to trial. He said there was a chance. I could be found guilty. Shane said, if you are convicted, he said would appeal the decision, and it would go to circuit court with a jury. Shane talked to the prosecutor again, and the prosecutor was able to convince my neighbor to drop the charges. The prosecutor told my neighbor that my attorney, Shane, was a trial lawyer, and if she didn’t want to be embarrassed on the stand, by her past, and her personal life; she would drop the charges. My neighbor agreed to drop the charges. I have to take anger management courses. Once they are completed, I turn the certificate in, and the charges are dropped, and my record is clean.

Mr. Sears was a tremendous help with navigating our daughter's IEP. With Mr. Sears by our side, we were able to work with the school system to acquire everything our daughter needs to be successful. He sat through an extremely lengthy IEP meeting and was a great asset to us at every step. His para...legal, Gwen, was also a wonderful asset. I'd highly recommend Mr. Sears!
