Patricia Shewmaker is an AMAZING attorney!

Patricia Shewmaker does amazing work! She thoroughly reviewed the details of my case and managed to compile all the critical information to plead my case in such a way that the opposing party could not refute her arguments in court. Each time Patty spoke up in court to the judge, 9/10 of her requests... were honored! Patty Shewmaker treated me with compassion and understanding during a very challenging time for me. She gives clear advice so that you can in turn make well informed decisions. What especially sets Patty apart from the rest is that her words are manifest in ACTION. She is direct and does not waste time in her work. Divorce can be very challenging and there are so many lawyers to choose from but with Patricia Shewmaker and her team, the difference is clear!

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.

Compassionate & Forward Thinking During a Difficult Time

I was recommended to Patty be the JAG office when my husband filed for divorce. Still in love I was naive when I went to hire Patty. Thank God for her thinking ahead and preparing me for the future when the love was gone. I remember crying and not wanting to fight for anything. Patty words during our... first meeting still resonate in my mind and I’m thankful “Today you’re in love, years from now you won’t be. Do not allow love to keep you from what you and your child deserve!” I agreed to allow her to do all she had to do. I have not regretted my decision. I won property, stocks and others things I didn’t even know we had. I received more financial assistance than I would have imagined and even spousal support. Although it was a difficult time Patty made the process easy even when I was to broken to assist. During this time I even moved out of county and Patty continues working my case and kept me in the loop every step of the way. So much so she had documents expressed to me. I am forever grateful. I have an recommended her services to everyone I know going through a divorce. She is and was well worth the money.

Always impressed!

We recently concluded two custody and visitation cases with Patty's firm and worked directly with Patty for most of the work. Each time we consulted with her or moved forward I felt that she knew exactly what she was doing and gave you the best advice not just the advice you wanted. She set realistic... expectations and warned us of potential negative impacts. As a result, we not only came out for the best in the cases but we also were able to maintain a positive co-parenting environment for our families. Patty and her firm are a must hire for family law. Hands down.
