Patricia Dee Shewmaker

Without exception, Patricia’s SME is thorough and complete. Her understanding and application of Military and Civil Law use-case scenarios impacting the practical realities of life is unfounded! She has successfully resolved many of my legal challenges, e.g., Divorce proceedings involving both Civi...l and Military issues. Patricia’s experience and diligence in the judicial branch workflows and activities have empowered me as a client to understand the interpretation and application of State and Federal laws. She has consistently and successfully anticipated many potential shortcomings, and suggested required remediation; all in an effort to mitigate liabilities impacting her client. Her knowledge, credentials, accolades from peers and the judicial system are well recognized, respected, appreciated, and worthy of admiration. Her overall candor and flexibility to adjust to unseen circumstances is without question. Her tenacious attitude and presentation in the courtroom demonstrate not just grace and gentility, but a bullish determination to exemplify truth and facts impacting the matter at hand. The most important attribute of all has been and is her “faithfulness and steadfastness” that has been provided to me through the years in combating “injustice and prejudice.” There is no one without fault, but those imposed upon my character were without merit. Patricia’s support exemplified the true nature of my desire to be equitable and fair, to which all parties involved acknowledged and recognized my heart's intent.

Patty helped recover years of lost child support and alimony for me. And she successfully defended an attempt to modify my original divorce document so that my ex husband wouldn’t have to pay alimony. My original lawyer was not knowledgeable about a foreign divorce from another state and how to enfo...rce it in Georgia. Several lawyers told me that my divorce agreement was vulnerable to being modified, but Patty knows the law, and she knew better. She has special experience in dealing with foreign judgments. She knew my original divorce agreement was not modifiable. And we won our case! She always explained the law to me in a way I could understand. She knew my case backwards and forwards. She is a calm yet tough and confident negotiator. Patty always had my back. I HIGHLY recommend this incredibly competent lawyer.

Patty did an excellent job assisting me with the division of a military pension. She is very knowledgeable in the area of military law as it pertains to divorces. Patty pays close attention to the details and makes sure you understand those details through easy to understand explanations. She is... easy to talk to and always responds to questions or concerns you may have. She is assisted by an equally competent and friendly staff.

Particia came highly recommended and was perfectly forthcoming in sharing her opinion of the situation. As bad as things seemed, she strategically found the opportunities to create victory. I don't doubt her ability to discover and construct the best case possible for any client along any issue--es...pecially those dealing with the military justice system.
