Helpful and Knowledgeable

Patty helped me with answers to my child support questions. She explained everything very clearly and thoroughly and helped me tremendously! Her advice was exactly what I needed for the situation.

Best attorney I've every experienced

Patty spent 4 years in litigation with my family in an extremely high conflict custody case. I got to know Patty Shewmaker (and her team). I have had many years of experience in these matters and have hired a handful of very good attorneys over the years but Patty was head and shoulders above the res...t. Her mind works like a chainsaw. Her knowledge of the law and how it is applied is unprecedented. She is strong, firm and persuasive. She invoiced fairly and did not drag anything out longer than necessary as many attorneys tend to do. The old, bring the client in, tell them their case is strong, fight in court until both parties are out of money and suffering from legal fatigue and then settle with the opposing counsel...I call it "The Dance" and if you have any legal experience in family law you know exactly what I mean. Not Patty. She was direct, efficient and moved with a purpose. She and her staff communicated incredibly well and was transparent throughout the entire case (which is NOT common). I received updates, emails, invoices, orders, notifications, all documents in a timely and organized fashion. She returned phone calls (or picked up). Again...rare. She never played games and worked diligently toward a conclusion as quickly as could be done. These are all wonderful reasons to hire an attorney but not the most powerful reason, if you ask me. in a couple words...Patty actually cares. Somehow in her decades of experience she has not become jaded with a calloused demeanor...she still cares. She cared about me but more importantly she cared about my children. As a Guardian ad Litem herself, I think she sees things at a whole different level than most family law attorneys ever will. She sees through a filter of compassion. Patty helped me keep my children safe. I will never be able to express my gratitude for the effort she put forth for me and my children but I am eternally grateful. Litigation is stressful and difficult enough, but dealing with your attorney shouldn't have to be. If you choose Patty, I promise, you will be in good hands.

She Ended My Nightmare

Shrewmaker & Shrewmaker’s tag is, “helping people,” but I would go one step further and say Patty and her team helped save my family. Prior to finding Shrewmaker & Shrewmaker, I battled in court for five years. It was a vicious cycle of the opposite partying using stalling tactics and using multiple ...legal representation. It was emotionally, mentally and financially taxing, a nightmare I felt would never end. I serve in the military and, when I first met Patty, I was relieved to know I was being represented by a former servicemember. Her experience with the military justice system only amplified her extensive family law knowledge and made what I began classifying as my nightmare into a professional and efficient discourse; allowing me to pursue my military career without it jeopardizing custody of my son. She is a true professional, dedicated to her craft and driven to helping others. She helped end my nightmare. Thank you, Patty!
