Not like an arrow

I shouldn’t have let this ‘man’ represent me in my divorce proceedings and trusted my instincts upon meeting him. He is not qualified to speak on family matters because of his lifestyle if you understand my meaning? I regret using him he wasted a lot of my hard earned money

Would not recommend

He charges extortionate amounts for the work that he actually does, he did a terrible job during my divorce which left me in a lot of debt and very unfairly so. I would recommend steering completely clear of Mr. Shoemaker for any family matters.

Horrible lawyer-Only in it to make money

Jerry has no concern for children of a divorce or doing what is in the kids' best interest. He will literally watch a parent and their children get ripped apart and support a vindictive parent in damaging relationships with the opposing side. This guy is in it for the money. He doesn't care about... collateral damage. No integrity. Find anyone else to help you

Very happy with how Jerry handled my divorce

Jerry is a great lawyer. He was very responsive,timely and also caring. It is a confusing process and he helped me to understand it every step of the way. I went into it not knowing what to expect and I am very happy with my settlement. I would recommend Jerry to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Family lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Gerry since he was a "baby lawyer" back in Pittsburgh. His intelligence, knowledge of the law and people, quick wit, and compassion make him an excellent family lawyer. While keeping his eye on the big picture and refusing to get mired down with petty issues, he is attentive to detail. He is a worthy and professional advocate and opponent. He is on my short-list of attorneys to whom I refer matters due to conflicts."
