Steve Shewmaker is the real deal!!!!!!

I was facing two felony charges and after three days of Steve's hard work and dedication for justice, he was able to get both charges dropped and arrest warrants recalled. Steve showed how he truly cares for his clients by sacrificing his own quality family time during the 4th of July holiday, in whi...ch he drove over a hour each way for three consecutive days to meet face to face with the District Attorney and the Judge to resolve my case. Steve lives by the "Attorneys' Code of Ethics" and without his expert knowledge of law, I would have been wrongfully prosecuted. If you desire the best legal team, choose Shewmaker & Shewmaker attorney at law!

Yours was a very tough case! I don’t often have to work on the 4th of July, but I felt great about the result. It was my honor to work with you!

Excellent and tireless

Steve Shewmaker strategized my divorce case within 15 minutes. His detailed knowledge of military divorce law helped me end an abusive marriage with all the benefits I deserved. He handled the mediation extremely well and gave me important advice at every hitch along the way. I can't thank him enough....

Excellent People and Service!

After retaining Shewmaker & Shewmaker to represent me, the highest praise I can laud the Firm with is that Steven and his team live up to their vision statement: “Helping People.” The Shewmaker team is as genuine as they come. Steven, Patricia, and Sharletta were attentive, responsive, courteous, and... thoroughly transparent throughout what proved to be an arduous and time consuming legal odyssey. Truthfully, there was a point where I did not know if justice would be served. Steven and his team resurrected my spirit through diligent preparation for each court appearance as they vigorously fought for my rights. The outcome of my case was both equitable and favorable. The Shewmaker team was highly effective, timely, and, most notably, seemingly unconcerned with lining their pockets throughout the process. I have grown and learned so much from my trials and tribulations. My attorneys at the Firm have served as both a guide and shining beacon of hope over the last 20 months. Accordingly, I highly recommend Shewmaker & Shewmaker should anyone find themselves in need of criminal representation.

Integrity and honor

When I first contacted Shewmaker and Shewmaker, I was deployed to a forward area trying to navigate through a messy separation, divorce and multiple allegations made by my spouse to my chain of command ranging from adultery and non-payment of support to treason. I cannot adequately express the degree... to which Steve and his wife saved my life and my career. They helped me through my marathon divorce, medical discharge from the Army, clearing me of all allegations with my chain of command, and being cleared of all the allegations that stood against me that could have cost me my security clearance and my livelihood. Steve interceded on my behalf with the military and was co-counsel in my divorce proceedings. The assistance I received from Shewmaker and Shewmaker was more than what any other lawyer could have provided. They helped me, guided me through military and civilian courts and legal knots, and stood by me through years of legal entanglements. I would not be where I am if not for them. Steve is the epitome of what army officers and legal professionals should be, but rarely are: honorable, reliable, and professional.

Thank you. Representing you was one of the great (and rare) privileges of being an attorney. It is wonderful when a client listens to your advice and follows it. You were one in a million, and I will always remember your case. Thank you.
