Top Military Law Practice in Atlanta

Steven Shewmaker and his wife and law partner Patty Shewmaker handled my divorce in Atlanta, Georgia. I was a military spouse for the full 20 years of my former husband's active duty. The Shewmakers led me through the divorce process with a commanding knowledge of my military rights and benefits an...d gave me the all important confidence that the proper military paperwork would be filed to receive these benefits. It can be very difficult to find a lawyer that has the specific knowledge of the military rules that directly effect the benefits issued in a military divorce. Not only do both Steven Shewmaker and Patty Shewmaker have that expertise, they also lecture and teach this law. I feel very fortunate to have had them represent my interests in this matter. They treated me with respect and gained my respect in return.

Mr. Shewmaker Wrote a Contract for Me

Mr. Shewmaker handled an important contract for me in connection with a content development project I was doing. He was extremely responsive to my needs (going through multiple drafts to get my intent exactly right) and showed both knowledge and care in the details. The contract has worked out great;... my interests have been safeguarded as intended, and I have had no problems of any sort. I would definitely recommend Mr. Shewmaker to anyone looking for this sort of assistance.

Some people are just born to be lawyers

Steve Shewmaker is hands down the best family Attorney. I hired Steve to represent me for a very grueling and complicated case involving child custody, visitation, child support and domestic violence. In the court room and mediation he was intelligent, firm and gets straight to the point. He doesn...’t sugarcoat or gets your hopes up. He tells it exactly how it is. He is an incredible Attorney with an efficient and professional staff by his side. He is accessible and available. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for helping me and my son through a very difficult and frustrating time.

Excellent representation

I hired Steve and Rachel Elovitz to help me with a situation that resulted from poor representation during my recent divorce. I honestly thought I was screwed and there wasn't much anyone could do to help me, but they were able to fix it and put an end to what I thought would be years of being in an...d out of the courts. He is very thorough and grasped the situation quickly. He came up with a strategy that worked perfectly and saved me money. I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice to hire them as a team, but I would recommend him individually as well. He is smart, honest, warm and funny and I would recommend him for any legal matter.

Former Family Law Client

Steve helped me get custody of my three year old daughter and seek a divorce. I’m a patent litigator at a large law firm, so working with/for me was no small task. Additionally, my ex-wife is a well-connected attorney, making the task even more difficult. However, Steve persevered and achieved g...reat success. I give my strongest recommendation for Mr. Steven Shewmaker. Steve has all the qualities I needed from a lawyer – honesty, responsiveness, compassion, and success. He repeatedly demonstrated exceptional professional and personal skills that resulted in the successful resolution of my case. Steve is the best attorney I have encountered in my 10 year legal career. He has exceptional analytical skills that enable him to rapidly develop meaningful solutions and possesses great decision-making skills to choose the right solution. He is extremely intelligent, studious and strives to improve at all times. Most importantly, his excellent personal skills make him a joy to work with. Steve has the character, intelligence, and self-discipline that will make him a true asset to client. Articulate, intelligent, energetic, poised, honest, and outgoing – he represents the very best the legal community has to offer. I am proud to recommend Steve – he will not disappoint you.
