Excellent Military Attorney

I was deployed half way around the world facing a career-ending adverse action. Mr. Shewmaker was with me through every aspect of the process from notification of investigation through response to findings and recommendations. He skillfully identified errors on the part of Command and presented th...e facts in a way that led to a positive resolution of my case. I would recommend Mr. Shewmaker to any servicember.

I am a former client of Steven Shewmaker. Fortunately or unfortunately I may be his client again, but at least I know if I do need an attorney, Steve will be my only choice. I fought my child custody/visitation case in both California and Georgia. Steve worked for me in the state of Georgia and ...although most of my case was worked in California, where I live, it was such a relief to know that although I was not there in Georgia, I had an attorney that has an impeccable work ethic and trust worthy character. I did not have to stand behind him to know my case was important to him as well as me, and I could continue my life and day to day stress without worrying about what was happening in Georgia without me there. Steve is very thorough and creative, he thinks outside the box when there is nothing else left in the box to work with. I never saw Steve procrastinate or appear disinterested, exactly the opposite, I would get off of the phone with Steve feeling confident and assured. I highly recommend Steven Shewmaker as a Family Law attorney.

An Exceptional Attorney

I cannot begin to express how wonderful it was to have Mr. Shewmaker as my divorce attorney. From the beginning, he was always honest, trustworthy, and informative. As a military spouse, I could not have had a more knowledgeable attorney on my side and fighting for my rights. He never made promises ...he could not keep and throughout the entire divorce process Steve always left me feeling less stressed and confident in all of the decisions I had to make. I was always impressed with how quick I would receive responses for any questions i had, no matter the time of day or night. I always felt as though I was a priority as a client and he was always 100% on top of every situation or issue as they arose. Not only is Steve an exceptional attorney, but he is a wonderful human being. I am blessed to have met him and had him on my side throughout my divorce process. You will not find a more attentive, competent, knowledgeable, caring, and intelligent attorney working for you. I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for me and my daughter and I am more than pleased with my experience and outcome.

The Shewmaker team saved this Marine's a**!

I am an active duty Marine with 16 years of honorable service and counting. I'm also a single father of two teenage boys, one of whom lives with me. I also suffer from PTSD. About seven months prior to the date of this review I found myself in a situation that triggered a fight or flight response, a ...symptom of my PTSD, and tried to remove myself from the situation. In the process of doing so I encountered a policeman who attempted to stop me for my own safety and in my paniced state I resisted, which resulted in my arrest and a felony charge. I figured my career was over, I would be discharged, a convicted felon, and basically my whole life would be ruined. Mr. Shewmaker and Ms. Stancliffe came to visit me in the hospital where I was recieving inpatient treatment for my PTSD, listened to my circumstances, took my case, and saved my career. No felony charge and I get to continue to serve our Great Nation as a United States Marine. Most importantly, I can continue to provide for my children. Mr. Shewmaker and Ms. Stancliffe were professional, compassionate, and worked diligently to save not only my criminal record, but also my career. I cannot adequately express my appreciation and I highly reccomend their services.

HIghly Recommend

Mr. Shewmaker just handled my modification of child support/alimony case. He was remarkable. He was SO prepared. I don't have enough words. He knew the case backward and forward. His understanding of the law, coupled with is preparation makes him an excellent lawyer. I am so thankful he was rec...ommended to me. His work exceeded my expectations.
