Steven P. Shewmaker

Mr. Shewmaker handled every aspect of my case with integrity. He lent a helping hand and was sympathetic and understanding and worked towards the best interest of myself and my family at all times. I would gladly hire him again for ANY legal need.

I Would Strongly Recommend Against.

I would strongly recommend against Shewmaker and Shewmaker. As an attorney myself, I knew of Steve Shewmaker's reputation as a winning litigator. But I learned the hard way that there is an asterisk. I fired them after about one month. He might be good at military/government matters, but for fami...ly law, I found him to be that surgeon who's interested in his success/fail ratio, not the patient's actual wellbeing. They only wanted easy legal issues. Accordingly, I received disinterest in answering legal questions. Disinterest in my situation that didn't fit into a simple factual theory. Disinterest in my client objectives. Worst, disinterest when my ex-spouse began escalating her conduct. I'd emphatically recommend finding counsel elsewhere. No client should go through that in their time of need. - - -

I’m actually really glad you posted this. One of the challenges with Avvo is that anyone can post anything, from their perspective. I am not allowed to respond to specifics. I appreciate your feedback and wish you the best of luck.
