Thank you. Representing you was one of the great (and rare) privileges of being an attorney. It is wonderful when a client listens to your advice and follows it. You were one in a million, and I will always remember your case. Thank you.

Must Have

I needed a lawyer bad. Everyone in my unit told me that UCMJ and the command climate sucked but, "it is what it is". I needed a good lawyer. I had witnessed many service members loose out on everything (family, job, life, future) because of a lawyer the military provided or one that had to much of... a case load. Then I was blessed to be directed to Mr. Shoemaker. To tell you the truth I didn't know what to expect, I just understood that his fee was worth my life and future. With all the bad you hear and the things your family goes through during these times he was just what I needed. His military background and dedication to the job made me feel at ease. He and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that I was treated fairly. My case went from a command directed OTH, to a Medical Board. His knowledge of UCMJ, tact, and hard work on my case refreshed my opinion of lawyers doing their jobs because he went to the moon and back for my family and I. Highly Recommended

Superior Military Law Attorney

I needed a good attorney and Steve proved superior. I hired Steve and he handled everything in a thorough, straight forward manner. He explained all my options and together we came up with a positive solution. His office staff is on target and his pricing is fair and transparent. All charges were... dropped. Thank You!

Excellent support from Steve Shewmaker!

I heartily recommend Lieutenant Colonel Steve Shewmaker, my lawyer, for any mitigation matter that may involve civil or military law! As a JAG Officer in the Alabama Army National Guard and an eminently successful civilian lawyer, Steve provided compassionate interest in our matter, and he sprung in... to action as soon as we talked. Steve always showed personal grit, visceral action, and determined concern on our behalf. This was not only evident in how he relentlessly pursued resources to help, but also in how he labored in his personal attitude and concern for my Family and I. Steve's counsel is motivated by integrity, the pursuit of truth, and care for the client. Repeatedly, Steve provided perspectives that were legally prudent and effective because he instinctively knew what was best for us. I consider Steve not only a legal expert, but also a wise counselor. My Family and I were blessed to work with Steve. I recommend Steven P. Shewmaker for any concern that you may have!

Military Law

After consultation with Steven Shewmaker, he provided solid advice and actions which resulted in successful resolution of a potentially damaging situation. His knowledge and precise handling not only provided me with an assured confidence but also a sense that he had my best interest at hand. Profe...ssional and dedicated. I cannot over amplify the confidence and trust gained from my relationship with this lawyer.
