Executive/Military divorce

If you’re retired military and/or a high income earning professional about to go through a divorce - You need to call Steve and Patty Shewmaker. I was hit with a surprise divorce after 20 years of marriage planned for months with her military and divorce lawyers. I was told to move out and begin p...aying $6,700 month in alimony by my wife’s lawyer. Steve stepped in and began fighting for me day one. It got very nasty, but Steve and Patty were there fighting for me every day. I stayed in my house - she left. Steve is always concerned about cost and offers best option in divorce to both parties. We fought for a year going to a final hearing. Steve is outstanding in court. After one day at final hearing, my ex-wife decided her lawyer was not up to the task of going against Steve in court. She received very small lump sum alimony, none of my military retirement, none of the 401K from my work, none of the company stocks, and only 50% equity in the martial home which I continue to live in. The two children we raised together live with me. If you have a military pension, you need call Steve and Patty to help protect it!

You are a good man with a really big heart. It is obvious how you care for those young men. I am sorry your case intersected with such obvious greed (the other attorney). BUT, you always behaved like the perfect Officer & Gentleman. You never broke the faith. You are on the good path.

DEFENSE FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL

Hopefully, being accused of a crime is not something most people are comfortable with. It wasn’t for me. It was the first time I was ever accused of a crime and it was gut-wrenching. I hired Steve Shewmaker based on a referral from a co-worker. I had a lot of questions; Steve Shewmaker and Mickey W...illiams were very patient in explaining the legal procedures. They looked out for my rights during each step in the process. They established a weekly synchronization meeting which allowed for a continuous exchange of information. They listened to the facts that I presented and by teaching me, I was able to better support my defense. I would recommend Steve Shewmaker and Mickey Williams for anyone who needs support from pragmatic and knowledgeable lawyers.

Someone who cares

Steve really went above and beyond for me. Not only did he exert masterful diplomacy with the Plaintif, but he was in contact with me every step of the way. He truly cares about his clients. Even after the case, Steve made sure that I have his cell phone number and offered up his friendship in case I... ever need to just talk to someone. His rates are very reasonable and truth be told, I would have paid more after seeing him work and show his true character throughout it all. Thank you Steve, I wish nothing but the best for you, your family and your firm!

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!

I will never forget our first meeting. I was honored to work with you. You listened and did what I advised, and that makes you wonderful in my book. I am delighted things worked out so well for you. I am thrilled that you put this episode behind you and have thrived in life since. Be happy and stay healthy!
