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 arranged with Carl Sears to process a divorce for my Hazel Park son whose wife left him about 10 years. I agreed to pay the cost of the divorce and provide any information Mr. Sears needed that my son could not provide. I was very happy with the fee Mr. Sears requested and I immediately mailed him ...a check for the entire costs. He kept me up to date as the process evolved and when all was ready for a court appearance, he picked up my son at his Hazel Park home and took him to the Pontiac courthouse because my son does not have a vehicle. I talked several times on the phone during the process and had the impression he was a highly experienced divorce attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone, regardless of residence, who is looking for a good divorce attorney whether it be the husband or wife and with or without children.

Almost 10 years ago, I found myself smack dab in the middle of a custody dispute. My son was nearing his first birthday, and I was nearing my first experience with the hell that accompanies a custody battle - basically a fight for everything in the world that matters to any parent. I was at a loss... for what to do, and scared out of my mind. I found Carl in, believe it or not, the Yellow Pages. Without a clue as to what lie ahead, I picked up the phone and made the call that saved my life, and more importantly my child's life. Throughout the years, Carl has fought on my behalf through many court appearances. More than that, he counseled me legally and personally. He has become not just my attorney, but a friend; albeit, not a friend that I hang out with, but a confidant that cares and gives everything he has to ensure the legal battlefield is an obstacle that I understand, and am able to adequately navigate though each time I find myself back in the courtroom. I was lucky to have found him, and couldn't be happier with the services he has provided throughout the years. He is not only an attorney, he is an advocate through and through.

Mr. Sears has helped me over a period of years with multiple complex issues. He is attentive to my priorities, uses his experience to guide me through the sometimes-confusing legal process, and is organized and thorough. Mr. Sears he has good built good relationships with the Judges and Referees whic...h have been very helpful as he represents me. Often, a quick phone call has nipped a small issue before it morphs, and Mr. Sears is efficient in handling whatever arises. You will find him to be a knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy guide.
