Carl E. Sears

Carl recently assisted me in a child support case that was (to say the least) very complex. Two children involved and both living across state lines. When I was "served" the court order to appear in Oakland County, I consulted a close friend for advice in locating a trustworthy attorney. My friend... recommended Daines & Sears , PLLC. I immediately knew that I was in great hands! NEVER did they mention cost until I asked and even then they (Carl and Tim) explained that the focus needs to be on the gathering of information and once we understood what was involved then we would discuss cost. I was comfortable with that approach. Once we did discuss the cost, they were very thorough and more than reasonable in explaining the process and cost. Furthermore, since I am unable to scoop out of a money pot, they offered to take payments throughout the entire process. Carl and Tim are really good people!!!! That is what is above all most important to me. Carl is so thorough that at times I feel like I am in law school, I mean he really explains this legal mumbo jumbo! I now have another unrelated case and I am going to use them again. Not because of convenience, knowledge, reasonable cost, or that I feel I owe them. No, I am hiring them a second time because I TRUST THEM LIKE FAMILY!!!!!

I hired Carls Sears to handle my divorce. I was extremely dissapointed in the way he handled my case. My husbands attorney prepared most of the documents and Mr. Sears did little to help me diciphor through the legal jargon and protect me. I was told I had better look over everything and make sure... it was ok before signing. Pages were missing in my decree pertaining to child custody. The cost was nearly three time was he told me it would be. I would never recommend this attorney to anyone, even my ex-husband!
