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.

Mrs. Shewmaker was phenomenal with her advice and knew immediately what actions I needed to take. I didn’t have to wait for her to get back with me while she researched my complex issues of international relocation with my minor children. Her knowledge of my situation was really comforting after talk...ing with several other attorneys that did not have a firm answer on what needed to be done. I would absolutely use Mrs. Shewmaker for any child custody or parenting plan modification issues.

Ms Shewmaker (Patty) is "AWESOME"! She helped me with a very difficult contempt of (divorce) court action that involved military retirement benefits. Her knowledge of the laws, her preparation, and her patients and candor with me were most impressive. Her professionalism and court room presence stood... head and shoulders above opposing counsel. Suffice it to say, all of the above led to a win although the odds were not in my favor. Great job! I highly recommend her services.

I was lucky enough to have a friend recommend Patty Shewmaker as an attorney during an extremely difficult time for my family. I have to say that I attribute the positive outcome of my case and the continued well being of my family to Patty. She is professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and extre...mely dedicated to her clients. She led me through what could have been a bitter and prolonged process with dignity and respect and achieved an outcome that was far better than could have reasonably been expected. My case involved not just myself but small children as well as a senior citizen. Patty's knowledge of the law and her concern for the emotional and physical well being of our entire family was extraordinary. She lead us through a complex and daunting process in such a way that there was minimal disruption in our lives... which was of the utmost importance to me and my children. I just cannot say enough... other than if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a family lawyer please do yourself a favor and have a conversation with Patty before making any final decisions.

I hired Shewmaker and Shewmaker a few months ago to handle my family law case. Patty has more legal knowledge than any attorney I know, and I know a lot of attorneys. On more than one occasion, I personally witnessed multiple experienced attorneys turn to Patty for guidance on the law. Most people... do not think about what could happen after a judge issues a ruling; however, there is always a risk for an appeal that can reverse a judgment and ruin everything the trial attorney accomplished. Moreover, if any case moves to an appeal it can continue to cost money. Patty’s knowledge of the law and procedure is utterly complete in my humble opinion. If you are looking for an attorney that has a pure legal mind and will reduce your chances of a higher court reversing the trial court’s ruling (which also reduces your costs), Patty is a must have in your corner.
