I couldn't be more pleased. A lawyer with a heart.

From the beginning of my case to the end, Steve was attentive, accurate and encouraging. The case that was presented to me was very much not in my favor and at first glance, it seemed the outcome would have been not a good situation. Steve helped me gather all the necessary pertinent information to f...orm a solid defense. His team was with me all the way through as well to answer the many questions that I had and prompted me for more discovery when needed. Long story short. We were able to settle the case after a long day of mediation to a very reasonable compromise. Steve was not just going through the motions, he cared and made a substantial difference in my case. I would highly recommend Steve and his firm to anyone needing counsel.

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!!

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

I was facing getting possibly getting chaptered out of the Army for an EO complaint. My Army appointed lawyer gave me a list of names of lawyers she has worked with before to possibly choose from as civilian council. I wasn't forced to use these names she had provided for me, but I thought I would lo...ok them up anyways. I came across Steve Shewmakers name and looked up reviews for him. I did not find any bad reviews that were Military related, and I thought he would be a good pick for me. He worked very well with my Army appointed lawyer, was willing and able to answer all of my questions, I was able to stay in touch with him on a fairly consistent basis, and most of all he helped me win my case with the Army separation board and I was able to be retained in the Army. Because of Shewmaker, I have the second chance that everyone deserves. I feel confident in saying that Mr. Shewmaker will do everything he can to get you the outcome you desire. And hopefully I don't need representation again, but should I find that I do, Steve Shewmaker will be my first call.

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.

An Exceptional Attorney

I cannot begin to express how wonderful it was to have Mr. Shewmaker as my divorce attorney. From the beginning, he was always honest, trustworthy, and informative. As a military spouse, I could not have had a more knowledgeable attorney on my side and fighting for my rights. He never made promises ...he could not keep and throughout the entire divorce process Steve always left me feeling less stressed and confident in all of the decisions I had to make. I was always impressed with how quick I would receive responses for any questions i had, no matter the time of day or night. I always felt as though I was a priority as a client and he was always 100% on top of every situation or issue as they arose. Not only is Steve an exceptional attorney, but he is a wonderful human being. I am blessed to have met him and had him on my side throughout my divorce process. You will not find a more attentive, competent, knowledgeable, caring, and intelligent attorney working for you. I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for me and my daughter and I am more than pleased with my experience and outcome.
