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.

Top Military Law Practice in Atlanta

Steven Shewmaker and his wife and law partner Patty Shewmaker handled my divorce in Atlanta, Georgia. I was a military spouse for the full 20 years of my former husband's active duty. The Shewmakers led me through the divorce process with a commanding knowledge of my military rights and benefits an...d gave me the all important confidence that the proper military paperwork would be filed to receive these benefits. It can be very difficult to find a lawyer that has the specific knowledge of the military rules that directly effect the benefits issued in a military divorce. Not only do both Steven Shewmaker and Patty Shewmaker have that expertise, they also lecture and teach this law. I feel very fortunate to have had them represent my interests in this matter. They treated me with respect and gained my respect in return.

Excellent representation

I hired Steve and Rachel Elovitz to help me with a situation that resulted from poor representation during my recent divorce. I honestly thought I was screwed and there wasn't much anyone could do to help me, but they were able to fix it and put an end to what I thought would be years of being in an...d out of the courts. He is very thorough and grasped the situation quickly. He came up with a strategy that worked perfectly and saved me money. I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice to hire them as a team, but I would recommend him individually as well. He is smart, honest, warm and funny and I would recommend him for any legal matter.

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.
