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.

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!

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.
