Tara is an awesome lawyer. Not only was she knowledgeable in my case and the options I had, she was attentive to my case and very reachable when needed. During my child custody case she was knowledgeable of the various mediators in the area, what all of my options were, and what potential outcomes we...re possible based on which option I were to take. She fought for me during my child custody case for over a year against a bitter mother and in the end, I was very pleased to be awarded joint legal rights and court ordered visitation. Nearly a year after visitation rights were ordered by the court, the mother broke the terms of our parenting contract and I immediately knew where to turn to. Tara continued her help with the same diligence as before. My case was promptly resolved and I couldn't have been happier. I strongly recommend Tara Shoemaker Esq for representation of any child custody related matters. It has now been 3 years after I was awarded joint legal custody with visitation rights. Without her, I would most likely not have any parental rights or visitation with my now 5 year old son.
