Outstanding in Military Law/Incredible, Dedicated and Compassionate

There are not enough power words in Websters dictionary to describe Steve Shewmaker. The job he performs in a court room for his clients is truly a life saving experience. His military background and knowledge of military law is second to none. I had a 5 year divorce case pending with no end in si...te. Steve was my 3rd attorney. YES, I said 3rd. Do to a personnel family matter my second attorney had to drop my case. However, she didn't leave me hanging, instead she introduced me to Steve Shewmaker and the rest is what fairy tales are made of. He was truly my Fairy God Father. The first day we met Steve showed me in his personality and conversation that he respected the military and the law. He took my case with only one week notice to prepare for trail by jury. Steve worked day and night to include weekends. Yes, I said weekends! He told me my case was personnel and a challenge and that's what he lives for. That went a long way with me because he also told me he would win. I was faced with a divorced case where my ex-wife or her attorney cared nothing about bending the truth or being honest in any way. I needed a Superman attorney who played by the rules and practiced with Honor, Courage, Integrity and Commitment. Steve has all qualities and believe in justice and the truth. The opposing attorneys never saw him coming. He is very prepared and has the ability to take complete control over the court room and the Jury. His closing arguments are spot on. He explains everything to you and he listens which makes you part of his team so you don't feel like a client. If you looking for an attorney who will look out for your best interest and fight to the end for you, then I tell you now to stop looking!!! HIRE Steve Shewmaker. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you Steve for everything... You saved my life !

What a great honor to represent you Sir. Jury trials in divorce cases do not come around all that often, and when they do you really got to put it together right. Representing you is one of those rare pleasures. I am so happy for you and your family that you triumphed over real unfairness. You will always have a special place in my memory.

Faithfulness, Steadfastness, Tenacity, and Subject Matter Expertise!

Without exception, Steve’s SME is thorough and complete. His understanding and application of Military and Civil Law use-case scenarios impacting the practical realities of life is unfounded! He has successfully resolved many of my legal challenges, e.g., Divorce proceedings involving both Civil an...d Military issues. Steve’s experience and diligence in the judicial branch workflows and activities have empowered me as a client to understand the interpretation and application of State and Federal laws. He has consistently and successfully anticipated many potential shortcomings, and suggested required remediation; all in an effort to mitigate liabilities impacting his client. His knowledge, credentials, accolades from peers and the judicial system are well recognized, respected, appreciated, and worthy of admiration. His overall candor and flexibility to adjust to unseen circumstances is without question. His tenacious attitude and presentation in the courtroom demonstrate not just grace and gentility, but a bullish determination to exemplify truth and facts impacting the matter at hand. The most important attribute of all has been and is his “faithfulness and steadfastness” that has been provided to me through the years in combating “injustice and prejudice.” There is no one without fault, but those imposed upon my character were without merit. Steve’s support exemplified the true nature of my desire to be equitable and fair, to which all parties involved acknowledged and recognized my heart's intent.

The Best there is....bar none

Steve's a great lawyer but when you add on his military background it makes him unparalleled. My case involved a clarification of a poorly written court order for military retirement pay. I struggled for a year to get the case resolved and finally my attorney said, "let me introduce you to Steve". ... Steve took the case and promptly did the detailed work only the government can understand. Not enough stars to rate this man. Hire him and don't look back.

Handled my second case and won again!!!

Steve and his wife handled my divorce and now an ugly 2 year custody battle... both times we won. This duo are unbeatable and I dare someone to try this “Dream Team”! Steve will guide you to the finish line and you will win if you listen to his advice. I truly felt Steve fought for me and my son and ...I am truly thankful.

TPO re-hearing

Steve Shewmaker, of Shewmaker and Shewmaker(https://shewmakerandshewmaker.com), guided me through every step of the process and ultimately got my case dismissed when my previous attorney could not and said I would not win a re-hearing. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and I consider myself... fortunate to have known him. This was an extremely emotional time in my life, and he handled it with empathy and compassion. The entire experience was positive and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.
