Absolute Best

Steven Shewmaker is the best lawyer i've had the pleasure of hiring and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Mr. Shewmaker handled my full custody case with the professionalism and integrity that is expected of an army officer, when he tells you I recommend this option you know he's giving you the best ...option on the table that's more beneficial. I have hired him for two cases and he's never given me a reason to doubt him, if you want to win your case then you call Shewmaker&Shewmaker.

Upstanding man!!

I had the pleasure of consulting with Steve after I was referred to him by a family friend. His military experience proved to be vital as my case was in regards to a drug incident in the military. He was that comforting voice that I could turn to throughout my entire ordeal. Steve was upfront and hon...est about all the facts. You could tell from the beginning that Steve wasn't interested in making money off me but that he truly cared and wanted to see the best outcome for me! I would highly recommend Steve to any fellow service member!

Great Job

Steve Shewmaker came highly recommended as an attorney. I did extensive research on hiring an attorney for my divorce. I chose Steve because he is very well respected among his colleagues as being ethical, honest, and intelligent. He is understanding and has exceptional foresight in how a case could ...be determined. Steve’s ability to put things in perspective and get me to look down the road saved me a lot of money. He also saved me a lot of money because he is very efficient. My divorce started in 2014 and I hired Steve. The wife and I worked things out. A year later I was getting divorced again. I was talked into using another attorney by some friends. This attorney had all the credentials so to speak. Two months into my divorce I fired that attorney and went back to Steve. I later found out that Steve also practices Military Law, which came in very helpful since I am a Military Reservist. Through my contacts in the military I found out that Steve is one of the top Military Attorney’s in the nation. My X-Wife even trusted Steve and sought his advice. At the tail end of the divorce my X-Wife’s attorney dismissed her as a client. Although Steve could not advise her on how to proceed he explained things at her level and we were finally able to work through the last few issues. A divorce is one big compromise on everything. Steve was in my corner the whole way. His ability to work with the other side was key for my settlement. I received exceptional visitations rights and did not have to pay alimony. I even got to keep the house. My divorce settlement was very favorable to me. All because of Steve’s ability as an attorney and hard work.

Excellent Lawyer

I have dealt with a few lawyers in the past and Steve Shewmaker outshines them all. His initial consultation was straight forward and fair. I was facing an uphill battle and he let me know that upfront. He was very knowledgeable and advised me accordingly. Every email that was sent by opposing counse...l was shared with me immediately. Every new development in my case was brought to my attention within an hour. Every phone call I made, email I sent, or question I had was answered quickly by either Steve himself or one of his team members. I always felt like my case was important and I was well taken care of. Against difficult odds my requests were granted. I am now the primary physical custodian of my beautiful daughter. Thank you Shewmaker and Shewmaker!!

client

I am a former client of Steven Shewmaker. Fortunately or unfortunately I may be his client again, but at least I know if I do need an attorney, Steve will be my only choice. I fought my child custody/visitation case in both California and Georgia. Steve worked for me in the state of Georgia and ...although most of my case was worked in California, where I live, it was such a relief to know that although I was not there in Georgia, I had an attorney that has an impeccable work ethic and trust worthy character. I did not have to stand behind him to know my case was important to him as well as me, and I could continue my life and day to day stress without worrying about what was happening in Georgia without me there. Steve is very thorough and creative, he thinks outside the box when there is nothing else left in the box to work with. I never saw Steve procrastinate or appear disinterested, exactly the opposite, I would get off of the phone with Steve feeling confident and assured. I highly recommend Steven Shewmaker as a Family Law attorney.
