Steven P. Shewmaker

After contacting, consultation then hiring Steve, I was truly impressed with the initial interaction. I couldn't ask for more. Steve and his team nailed it! They listen to my concerns and issues that I was having with the military, gathered all the facts and then went to work! I'm so proud and impressed with the professionalism, determination and efforts that they put forth to defend me as client and my rights. I was afforded to tell my story for the first time after three years. I felt a big relief to be heard and knowing they had my best interest at heart. Thank you and your team Steve for everything. Finally, Victory at last!!

Steve is all these and more. He showed genuine care over my time-sensitive custody case and held my hand the entire way through this painful process. With him as my counsel, Steve helped me achieve the best result in what came out of my divorce/child custody battle. It was a complicated matter, as I took on a permanent change of station from Georgia to an overseas assignment. I went ahead of my family to make arrangements. During that time, my husband served me with a custody complaint from his home state (outside GA). When I called Steve about it, he passionately felt that we stood a chance contesting jurisdiction based on the UCCJEA, yet he was careful in giving me no promises up front. At this time I had another attorney representing me from the state holding this complaint over my head, and Steve was in lock-step with my other counsel, proving to be instrumental in getting this case dismissed from the other state. He successfully advocated for jurisdiction to remain with Georgia, helped me through a temporary hearing to have my daughter come home, and fought like hell in encouraging the judge to award me primary custody at our final hearing. Moreover, from officer to officer, he's expressed care about my career and was a powerful mentor for me. Although I endured all kinds of difficult emotions through this case, I truly appreciated its journey when it meant getting to work with Steve. If you need a strong, caring and honest attorney who will stand by your side regardless of the probability of the outcome, I don't recommend anyone other than Steve to have your back.

I am very pleased to have the honor to review such a professional lawyer. He entered my life, when I needed sound advice, and truth. This lawyer cares. God bless you, and God bless LTC Retired Shewmaker.

I am so thankful for Steve Shewmaker and his exceptional firm. They were an answer to many prayers in a most difficult time. Knowledgeable, patient, diligent and gifted. I’m blessed by the work of his capable hands and forever thankful for his efforts on my behalf. I highly recommend Steve Shewmaker for anyone in need of legal assistance.

There are not enough power words in Websters dictionary to describe Steve Shewmaker. The job he performs in a court room for his clients is truly a life saving experience. His military background and knowledge of military law is second to none. I had a 5 year divorce case pending with no end in site. Steve was my 3rd attorney. YES, I said 3rd. Do to a personnel family matter my second attorney had to drop my case. However, she didn't leave me hanging, instead she introduced me to Steve Shewmaker and the rest is what fairy tales are made of. He was truly my Fairy God Father. The first day we met Steve showed me in his personality and conversation that he respected the military and the law. He took my case with only one week notice to prepare for trail by jury. Steve worked day and night to include weekends. Yes, I said weekends! He told me my case was personnel and a challenge and that's what he lives for. That went a long way with me because he also told me he would win. I was faced with a divorced case where my ex-wife or her attorney cared nothing about bending the truth or being honest in any way. I needed a Superman attorney who played by the rules and practiced with Honor, Courage, Integrity and Commitment. Steve has all qualities and believe in justice and the truth. The opposing attorneys never saw him coming. He is very prepared and has the ability to take complete control over the court room and the Jury. His closing arguments are spot on. He explains everything to you and he listens which makes you part of his team so you don't feel like a client. If you looking for an attorney who will look out for your best interest and fight to the end for you, then I tell you now to stop looking!!! HIRE Steve Shewmaker. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you Steve for everything... You saved my life !

Without exception, Steve’s SME is thorough and complete. His understanding and application of Military and Civil Law use-case scenarios impacting the practical realities of life is unfounded! He has successfully resolved many of my legal challenges, e.g., Divorce proceedings involving both Civil and Military issues. Steve’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. He has consistently and successfully anticipated many potential shortcomings, and suggested required remediation; all in an effort to mitigate liabilities impacting his client. His knowledge, credentials, accolades from peers and the judicial system are well recognized, respected, appreciated, and worthy of admiration. His overall candor and flexibility to adjust to unseen circumstances is without question. His 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 his “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. Steve’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.

Steve's a great lawyer but when you add on his military background it makes him unparalleled. My case involved a clarification of a poorly written court order for military retirement pay. I struggled for a year to get the case resolved and finally my attorney said, "let me introduce you to Steve". Steve took the case and promptly did the detailed work only the government can understand. Not enough stars to rate this man. Hire him and don't look back.

Steve and his wife handled my divorce and now an ugly 2 year custody battle... both times we won. This duo are unbeatable and I dare someone to try this “Dream Team”! Steve will guide you to the finish line and you will win if you listen to his advice. I truly felt Steve fought for me and my son and I am truly thankful.

I hired Steve to represent me in a military case. Although I was offered a JAG attorney I decided to go with Steve. This was by far the best choice I made. Knowledgeable, caring and charismatic the government’s attorneys were no match. He literally had them shaking as they attempted to present their case. It was no surprise that we won. Without question I would hire Steve again as well as recommend him to anyone having who is seeking representation in a military court. He is worth more than his fee. I should mention that he fee included him flying out of state for three days to handle my case. Great Job Steve!!

Steve Shewmaker, of Shewmaker and Shewmaker(https://shewmakerandshewmaker.com), guided me through every step of the process and ultimately got my case dismissed when my previous attorney could not and said I would not win a re-hearing. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and I consider myself fortunate to have known him. This was an extremely emotional time in my life, and he handled it with empathy and compassion. The entire experience was positive and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.

I was recommended to Steve Shewmaker by several other attorneys that I reached out to. I was going through a divorce and was very close to retirement from the military, so I wanted someone who was very familiar with service member benefits and had experience in military law. Everyone recommended Steve and his team. With Steve having served over 20 years in the military himself, he continues to portray professionalism, loyalty, candor, and definitely takes the initiative on getting ahead of things when it comes to working on your case. On our first meeting, we sat down and he worked up every number almost to the dollar on various scenarios and what I could expect to come out of the divorce with. I also worked with Hannah Apicelli, who is an attorney there as well. Hannah is a very kind person and just like Steve, makes you feel like a priority. I never had a problem with not receiving any requested information or a callback from them. Hannah and Steve truly do an amazing job at educating and counseling their clients on the outcomes of divorce. I couldn't be happier with the team I chose and will absolutely recommend them to anyone in the future.

Steve was incredible thorough in explaining what I needed to do to file a contempt order for non-payment of child support and alimony payments. He even put me in touch with a lawyer in the state my ex moved to. Extremely clear, kind and helpful.

I don't know where to start. I don't think words can describe the amazing job Steven Shewmaker did for my case. I was hopeless and did not trust anyone after dealing with that problem for over 4 years. Faith and a recommendation brought me to him on the day of his birthday. si will never forget that. I called his law firm exactly 10 minutes before 5pm. I was looking for a lawyer. He answered the phone and listened to all i had to say. in the middle of my frustration. I had court in just few days and i was running out of time . He made time on his calendar and gave me an appointment 2 days later. After i met with him and i left his office, all i could think is that, he was the right person to fight for me since i couldn't do it on my own and specially because he had an honorably background. I only wanted justice. He was professional and i was just impressed how he handled the case in front of the judge and It was very very INSPIRING. He got justice for me and he made me believe in the justice again. If you need a lawyer that fight for justice and for the truth, just look for him. He was amazing. The justice and law does exist. I was blessed to have him on my path as a lawyer. Thank you so much to you and everyone in your office that was involved in this case specially the amazing and sweet Healy. She was also amazing. They were a great team. They were very organized. Thank you Steven for every advice you gave me and especially for that phrase that was out in that frame at the office. Law and justice does exist for the ones that need it. Bless you all.

My daughter is in the legal profession, and when I was cited with a traffic offense in which I was guilty of but was concerned about the possible ramifications, her firm recommended Shewmaker & Shewmaker. What a wise recommendation that was. Steve Shewmake took an active interest in the case even though he assigned it to Hanna-Lynn Apicelli. As I said,, I knew I was guilty of my offense but they helped minimize the punishment. I was certainly fortunate to have this law firm representing me and I could not recommend them more highly.
