J. Peter Shearer

The firm of Pierce and Shearer LLP had been recommended to me by another practicing attorney. I had a difficult EEOC Civil Rights case that I was prepared to fight . I was sure that my termination from a government agency, directly coincided with the date that I had applied for Disability Retirement.... Peter Shearer, Jennifer Baker, and Matt Vandall worked tirelessly to help me prepare case materials. Their knowledge, talent and decency brought perspective and guidance to me during a very difficult time. Future clients will be putting themselves in excellent hands when hiring this firm.

I have worked with multiple lawyers from both top firms as well as small firms, and working with Peter was by far the best experience I have had with a lawyer. Contrary to the other reviews, I found his fees to be very reasonable for the service he provides. When I worked with Peter, he was actually ...very mindful of expenses and quite proactive about saving me dollars whenever possible. What I like about Peter is that he is the type of lawyer that won't let up, which i found extremely reassuring. I have worked with a couple of other more passive lawyers in the past that costed me an arm and a leg and I wasn't very satisfied with them. He is very diplomatic but at the same time very tenacious. During my case, he made sure I never shortchanged myself or put myself at a disadvantage. I think one of Peter's best qualities is that he is genuinely concerned for his clients, which is a rare thing in my expereince.

I am a current law student who engaged Pete for a very sensitive, complicated employment matter and have been working with him on and off for two years. The first question he asked was, "What can I do for you?" I had interviewed several attorneys before meeting Pete and each one only saw dollar signs... and sought to exploit my situation for their gain. Pete was the opposite. Professional, engaging, sharp, and a wonderful advocate. I cannot imagine going through what I did without Pete on my side.
