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!!

Military Benefits Specialist

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.

AMAZING ATTORNEY

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.

Outstanding Legal Knowledge!

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.
