Wish I had found him sooner

I was hit with a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR) towards the end of my military career. In unfamiliar waters, I made a go of it and wrote my own rebuttal. Suffice it to say, it didn't go well. If there was a hope or chance of getting my GOMOR, I missed the mark. It was filed permanent...ly and they initiated proceedings for a separation board. I found out about LTC Shewmaker thereafter, and he was always forthright and available to assist me in deciding my best option, engaging in long, pro bono conversations over the phone. Assuredly, had I contacted him sooner, I am certain that I would have been in a dominant position. He knows the ins and outs of military law and has a great success rate. Cost-wise, he was the most reasonable as well, fixing travel expenses to a set amount in spite of their inevitable fluctuation when the time came for the board. All in all, he was fair, nonjudgmental, knowledgeable and realistic. If you're facing a similar situation, don't delay or go it alone. The military has a funny way of melting away when you need support, such as this, in the worst way. Had I gotten LTC Shewmaker in my corner, I'm certain I would have had all the support I needed.

Pleased with Military representation and the out calm of my case represented by Mr Shewmaker. An excellent lawyer lawyer.

Mr. Shewmaker is a very competent and helpful lawyer. I hired Mr. Shewmaker for my legal matters with the Army, in which he accomplished what I needed in a timely and professional manner. I was also always able to talk to him personally without any issues.

Upstanding man!!

I had the pleasure of consulting with Steve after I was referred to him by a family friend. His military experience proved to be vital as my case was in regards to a drug incident in the military. He was that comforting voice that I could turn to throughout my entire ordeal. Steve was upfront and hon...est about all the facts. You could tell from the beginning that Steve wasn't interested in making money off me but that he truly cared and wanted to see the best outcome for me! I would highly recommend Steve to any fellow service member!

World class man & lawyer

I had the pleasure being represented by Mr. Shewmaker on a Military complaint that was lodged against me. Steve was so impressive, sharp, quick witted, and intelligent went it came to my defense. Needless to say, all complaints against me were dropped! Thanks Steve! It is very difficult to ...find an attorney who has knowledge of the Military. Steve has extensive knowledge and experience with the Military and if any of my service brethren needed an Attorney, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Steve Shewmaker before anyone else. World class human being, world class Attorney and the type of person you want on your side. Hope I never need an Attorney again, but if I do, I would retain his services in a heartbeat!
