I sought Mr. Lear's advice on moral character issues I was having before the bar. His candid, honest, and tough advice laid out the tools I needed to put my best foot before the Bar. Now I am a grateful and happy attorney.

I hired this attorney to defend a State Bar action against me. He is well respected by State Bar attorneys and did a great job.

I came to Mr. Lear with some ethics questions and was able to get thorough answers to them quickly and cost-effectively. I would highly recommend Mr. Lear based on his experience and his body of knowledge. Don’t bother shopping around, call him first.

I hired Mr. Lear to represent me regarding a disciplinary complaint made by a former client against me. The complaint was frivolous, however the State Bar was making me jump through many hoops and I was concerned. Mr. Lear was able to make a few phone calls to his former colleagues at the State Bar Prosecutor's office and get all of the allegations dropped. He did an outstanding job. If you are facing any type of licensing issues (State Bar or DRE) then I would definitely hire Mr. Lear.

I consider Mr. Lear a good lawyer in his area of expertise. He is knowledgeable and I have been impressed by the results he obtained in some published cases that prove the ability he has to mitigate the circumstances of his clients and obtain the less intrusive and damaging outcome, lowering the level of discipline that was initially intended for his client. I believe he is a good lawyer and it is worth to consult and have into consideration when making a decision for representation before the bar. I have referred him to some of my colleges that are in need of representation and they have been satisfied with the advice and guidance during their process before the State Bar.

After hiring Mr. Lear for defending me in a State Bar action I can say it was the worst legal experience I have witnessed in 30 years of legal practice. I found Mr. Lear non-responsive to emails. He generally responded with as few words possible and did not communicate what his legal opinion was, or give advice. He did not know my case, even to the day of trial. He actually asked me to write part of an opening brief. And when I told him I had hired him for that, he wrote a brief that was not accurate. Finally, we went to trial and he was woefully unprepared. Result, we lost.

He left a death threat which I did not make in the letter. Allowed them to question if I was a player and generally did nothing for 5000.00. He's terrible at defending nurses who are accused of wrongdoing and thinks that if you know pushing potassium chloride faster than 10 meq an hour can result in death means you'd do it.

I hired Mr. Lear to represent me regarding a disciplinary complaint made by a former client against me. The complaint was frivolous, however the State Bar was making me jump through many hoops and I was concerned. Mr. Lear was able to make a few phone calls to his former colleagues at the State Bar Prosecutor's office and get all of the allegations dropped. He did an outstanding job. If you are facing any type of licensing issues (State Bar or DRE) then I would definitely hire Mr. Lear.

I consider Mr. Lear a good lawyer in his area of expertise. He is knowledgeable and I have been impressed by the results he obtained in some published cases that prove the ability he has to mitigate the circumstances of his clients and obtain the less intrusive and damaging outcome, lowering the level of discipline that was initially intended for his client. I believe he is a good lawyer and it is worth to consult and have into consideration when making a decision for representation before the bar. I have referred him to some of my colleges that are in need of representation and they have been satisfied with the advice and guidance during their process before the State Bar.

After hiring Mr. Lear for defending me in a State Bar action I can say it was the worst legal experience I have witnessed in 30 years of legal practice. I found Mr. Lear non-responsive to emails. He generally responded with as few words possible and did not communicate what his legal opinion was, or give advice. He did not know my case, even to the day of trial. He actually asked me to write part of an opening brief. And when I told him I had hired him for that, he wrote a brief that was not accurate. Finally, we went to trial and he was woefully unprepared. Result, we lost.

He left a death threat which I did not make in the letter. Allowed them to question if I was a player and generally did nothing for 5000.00. He's terrible at defending nurses who are accused of wrongdoing and thinks that if you know pushing potassium chloride faster than 10 meq an hour can result in death means you'd do it.

I sought Mr. Lear's advice on moral character issues I was having before the bar. His candid, honest, and tough advice laid out the tools I needed to put my best foot before the Bar. Now I am a grateful and happy attorney.

I came to Mr. Lear with some ethics questions and was able to get thorough answers to them quickly and cost-effectively. I would highly recommend Mr. Lear based on his experience and his body of knowledge. Don’t bother shopping around, call him first.
