Integrity and honor

When I first contacted Shewmaker and Shewmaker, I was deployed to a forward area trying to navigate through a messy separation, divorce and multiple allegations made by my spouse to my chain of command ranging from adultery and non-payment of support to treason. I cannot adequately express the degree... to which Steve and his wife saved my life and my career. They helped me through my marathon divorce, medical discharge from the Army, clearing me of all allegations with my chain of command, and being cleared of all the allegations that stood against me that could have cost me my security clearance and my livelihood. Steve interceded on my behalf with the military and was co-counsel in my divorce proceedings. The assistance I received from Shewmaker and Shewmaker was more than what any other lawyer could have provided. They helped me, guided me through military and civilian courts and legal knots, and stood by me through years of legal entanglements. I would not be where I am if not for them. Steve is the epitome of what army officers and legal professionals should be, but rarely are: honorable, reliable, and professional.

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!
