Some people are just born to be lawyers

Steve Shewmaker is hands down the best family Attorney. I hired Steve to represent me for a very grueling and complicated case involving child custody, visitation, child support and domestic violence. In the court room and mediation he was intelligent, firm and gets straight to the point. He doesn...’t sugarcoat or gets your hopes up. He tells it exactly how it is. He is an incredible Attorney with an efficient and professional staff by his side. He is accessible and available. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for helping me and my son through a very difficult and frustrating time.

Satisfied with the Service

I hired Mr. Shewmaker for my divorce case. Initially he was slow and wasn't paying much attention to my case. His assistant was working on my case. But after some discussion with Mr. Shewmaker, and not getting things done on time as he mentioned at the beginning, he has started working on my case. My... case has been settled outside of the court because of the time and money I had to waste to get justice. Mr. Shewmaker is very knowledgeable and smart. He has always given me the best advice regarding my case and my future life. I definitely recommend him if he is ready to work on your case on his own.

Yes, I very much enjoyed working with you. Yours was a difficult matter, especially when trying to fix matters that occurred with prior counsel before we got involved. I was quite happy we were able to help you.

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.
