Outstanding in Military Law/Incredible, Dedicated and Compassionate

There are not enough power words in Websters dictionary to describe Steve Shewmaker. The job he performs in a court room for his clients is truly a life saving experience. His military background and knowledge of military law is second to none. I had a 5 year divorce case pending with no end in si...te. Steve was my 3rd attorney. YES, I said 3rd. Do to a personnel family matter my second attorney had to drop my case. However, she didn't leave me hanging, instead she introduced me to Steve Shewmaker and the rest is what fairy tales are made of. He was truly my Fairy God Father. The first day we met Steve showed me in his personality and conversation that he respected the military and the law. He took my case with only one week notice to prepare for trail by jury. Steve worked day and night to include weekends. Yes, I said weekends! He told me my case was personnel and a challenge and that's what he lives for. That went a long way with me because he also told me he would win. I was faced with a divorced case where my ex-wife or her attorney cared nothing about bending the truth or being honest in any way. I needed a Superman attorney who played by the rules and practiced with Honor, Courage, Integrity and Commitment. Steve has all qualities and believe in justice and the truth. The opposing attorneys never saw him coming. He is very prepared and has the ability to take complete control over the court room and the Jury. His closing arguments are spot on. He explains everything to you and he listens which makes you part of his team so you don't feel like a client. If you looking for an attorney who will look out for your best interest and fight to the end for you, then I tell you now to stop looking!!! HIRE Steve Shewmaker. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you Steve for everything... You saved my life !

What a great honor to represent you Sir. Jury trials in divorce cases do not come around all that often, and when they do you really got to put it together right. Representing you is one of those rare pleasures. I am so happy for you and your family that you triumphed over real unfairness. You will always have a special place in my memory.

Government’s Worst Nightmare

I hired Steve to represent me in a military case. Although I was offered a JAG attorney I decided to go with Steve. This was by far the best choice I made. Knowledgeable, caring and charismatic the government’s attorneys were no match. He literally had them shaking as they attempted to present their... case. It was no surprise that we won. Without question I would hire Steve again as well as recommend him to anyone having who is seeking representation in a military court. He is worth more than his fee. I should mention that he fee included him flying out of state for three days to handle my case. Great Job Steve!!

I had the most fun representing you. It was just a lot of fun to tear into the Army’s pathetic case. You were easy to work with, a thing that made my work even more pleasant. Thank you!

Speedy Resolution of Complex Case

Outstanding and quick resolution of complex case consisting of multiple parties and conflicting elements. Steve quickly focused on the key issue; resolved it and the rest went away.

I couldn't be more pleased. A lawyer with a heart.

From the beginning of my case to the end, Steve was attentive, accurate and encouraging. The case that was presented to me was very much not in my favor and at first glance, it seemed the outcome would have been not a good situation. Steve helped me gather all the necessary pertinent information to f...orm a solid defense. His team was with me all the way through as well to answer the many questions that I had and prompted me for more discovery when needed. Long story short. We were able to settle the case after a long day of mediation to a very reasonable compromise. Steve was not just going through the motions, he cared and made a substantial difference in my case. I would highly recommend Steve and his firm to anyone needing counsel.

It gets no better than Steve Shewmaker

The first day I walked into Mr. Shewmakers office, I felt like family. I gave Steve the particulars about my case and he went to work. Steve took my case to court in Dekalb County Georgia and showed why not only was he tops in his class in law school. He showed that his hard work in the classroom tra...nslated to his performance in the courtroom. I recommend Steve Shewmaker to anybody looking for an attorney that's going to get results that you will be excited about.
