quite literally saved my life.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Steven made things happen that no other attorney could. He is stern, but kind. He is persistent, & gets the job done! He managed to speed up every single process. He got me released quickly, even though when i first got there i was not even eligible for a b...ond, & on top of that - got it dropped down from 50K to 5K with the prosecution before i even had to be seen in front of a judge. I was on probation during the time i got my new charges, & not only did he handle the case i hired him for - he went above & beyond & kept me out of jail for the violation of probation. Let me just tell you - this man KNOWS how to talk! He helped a 5 felony case be thrown out entirely. I promise you - if steven isn’t your lawyer, you’re doing it wrong! This is the man that saved my future, & made me feel safe & confident when I was facing a very scary case. If i ever need a lawyer again, i won’t even think to consult anywhere else but right here. If you’re looking for an attorney, you can stop now - because you just found the BEST one out there. Steven, i’ll never be able to thank you enough!

super lawyer

I consulted Mr. Shewmaker for a complicated divorce case involving false allegation of family violence. giving my sensitive profession i was nervous about the outcome. I was ripped off by one of the largest firm in Atlanta and had horrible outcome He is by far the the most experienced and intellige...nt attorney that i have spoken to, his trial experience is favorable is unmatchable high ethics and professionalism I would give him my highest recommendation Thank you Mr. Shewmaker

Totally Changed My Negative Perception of Lawyers

After tirelessly searching for the right attorney to represent my brother, I found and hired Mr. Steven Shewmaker. I was blessed enough to find Mr. Shewmaker during a very stressful time in my family's life. Mr. Shewmaker represented my brother, but he did so much more than that. He was an outstandi...ng attorney, a knowledgeable military expert, a form of support and guidance for my brother, and a trusted confidant. I can honestly say that before Shewmaker, I had no trust in attorneys. After Shewmaker, I know that there are amazing attorneys that fight for their clients and deliver the results they promise. Mr. Shewmaker was always honest with us, letting us know what to expect in court, and preparing my brother for the chaos ahead. There's a reason why his rating is 100%. I pray that my family never needs his assistance again, but just in case we do, there's not another attorney that we will call other than Steven Shewmaker.

Steve Shewmaker is the real deal!!!!!!

I was facing two felony charges and after three days of Steve's hard work and dedication for justice, he was able to get both charges dropped and arrest warrants recalled. Steve showed how he truly cares for his clients by sacrificing his own quality family time during the 4th of July holiday, in whi...ch he drove over a hour each way for three consecutive days to meet face to face with the District Attorney and the Judge to resolve my case. Steve lives by the "Attorneys' Code of Ethics" and without his expert knowledge of law, I would have been wrongfully prosecuted. If you desire the best legal team, choose Shewmaker & Shewmaker attorney at law!

Yours was a very tough case! I don’t often have to work on the 4th of July, but I felt great about the result. It was my honor to work with you!

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.
