The short version

JAMES SEARING is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2021: Solstice Mental Health A licensed Clinical Social Worker PC (Los Angeles, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2021; $1,000 reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2021. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 1 public filing for JAMES SEARING and found 1 difference: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

1 difference found between the filings for JAMES SEARING (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 26, 2021 – Aug 13, 2021

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — Solstice Mental Health A licensed Clinical Social Worker PC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 26, 2021. The Form D was filed Aug 13, 2021 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.
