My savior!

I was referred to Patty through a lawyer friend here in Seminole, FL. Her expertise in military law is impeccable. She helped me get what was due and right. My divorce settlement wasn't right and she stepped in and made sure that I receive what I am entitled to. She had an answer for every question, ...very knowledgeable and stood her ground for me. I not only have a lawyer, but a fighter in my corner. Give Patty a call. She is awesome. I recommend her to anyone.

A true fighter and the best!!

Patricia D Shewmaker is the best!, why? Because when you need someone to fight for you, to find the weakness point on your adversaries she will be there. She understands the Uniform Code of Military justice and procedures to achieve her goal, ensure the justice prevails. Her professionals and aware...ness during the legal procedures are the key to identify the key factors of success during your battle. Sometimes you need the best, if that it is the case, you will need her to your side. Automatically you will feel that you are not alone, that you have someone side by side walking the path with you in order to achieve justice. Thanks for all the hard work, even taking your personal family time as wife and mother to work on my case, looking for details to ensure that my nightmare were over. Now I feel a new person, with new opportunities as father, man and soldier, thanks for breaking my chains and set me free to fight for what I believe for, GOD-COUNTRY-LOVE!! “J” De Oppresso Liber!!

Divorce

Throughout a very difficult and lengthy divorce proceeding, Patty was more than just my lawyer. She was my guide through a difficult and painful legal marathon. She always had time to explain complex legal problems and actions to me in a way that I could process and understand. Her help and caring as... well as her amazing legal expertise and knowledge allowed me to focus on the rest of my life knowing that all the legal matters pertaining to my divorce were in her capable hands. I can honestly say, I would not be where I am in my career or in my life if I had not had her to lean on during the pendency of my divorce proceedings. She listened to all my concerns and helped me understand what things were important and what things I needed to let go of. I cannot recommend her more highly for her professionalism, caring, and legal expertise.

Excellent Attorney

Walking through a divorce will be the most stressful thing that you will ever have to navigate. I would not have made it through this process without Patty's wisdom, experience and incredible knowledge and understanding of not only the law, but of my situation. She brought calm and clarity to a situ...ation that was highly stressful. When it came time to go before the judge I was absolutely blown away by Patty. She commanded the room. She had researched complex international law and explained it in a way that I believe even the judge learnt from. She used her words as a sword to pierce right to the heart of the issues. I was incredibly impressed, and you will be too.

Divorce

When Patricia Shewmaker was recommended to me I didn't know what to expect. What I found out was the I was being represented by and experienced and personable attorney who was compassionate and considerate to my needs. I felt comfortable and was reassured during the whole process. Her expert advic...e guided me through the process without feeling the anxiety that accompanies the divorce process. If I had to choose an attorney again rest assure it would be Patricia and her firm.
