Best that ever done it!

I’m so thankful I choose Patty’s office to handle my case. She was very sharp there was not a question she couldn’t answer right away, she knows her stuff. Her understanding of Military Law is amazing. To put it simple…I will recommend her to anyone who needs counsel when needs to get a divorce!

Detail-oriented

Patty's work on my military case was superb! She's very thorough and follows the facts. I truly appreciate that I chose a winning team who seeks justice for their clients and treats them with dignity and respect.

Simply The Best

I am so thankful Patty was recommended to me. She took care of me through every step of my messy divorce. She was diligent and compassionate throughout the entire process, and she fought for what was right down to the last detail. She and her team helped guide me through mediations and the trial proc...ess. She is very knowledgeable in matters concerning military divorce. Definitely an amazing attorney!

Faithfulness, Steadfastness, Tenacity, and Subject Matter Expertise!

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.

Patricia Shewmaker was great

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.
