This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Pleased

We met with Joe Shoemaker about an employment discrimination case. He was honest, forthright, and very knowledgeable. He walked us through the steps, told us what he could and could not do, told us at what point we should reach out to him again, and was very reassuring. He was not the kind of attorne...y or the kind of firm the "big" guys that advertise ad nauseum on TV that just look to make a buck. I wholeheartedly recommend Bogin, Munns, and Munns, and Joe Shoemaker in particular.

Joe Showmaker Civial Lawyer

Joe Shoemaker was incredibly helpful throughout my civil lawsuit. He was responsive, reliable, and made sure all deadlines were met. If he wasn’t immediately available, Nanette was always quick to assist. I appreciated their excellent communication and support over the years. I would recommend Joe as... a lawyer.

Highly recommend Mr. Shoemaker

I can’t thank Mr. Shoemaker enough for his dedication and hard work in winning my case. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping me achieve the best outcome. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained the process clearly, and always made tim...e to answer my questions. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, we achieved a successful resolution, and I’m incredibly grateful. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares and will fight for you, I highly recommend Mr. Shoemaker and his team. They exceeded all my expectations!

Excellent representation

Joe Shoemaker is simply the best. He was recommended to us with high regard. Joe was honest and faithfully stood by our side for 3 ½ years and never wavered. It was a very difficult and emotional time for our family. Joe was kind, honest, truthful, professional, ethical, knowledgeable, courteous..., and reassuring from day 1 until we crossed the finish line. He never overbilled us and always gave us the pros and cons at each twist and turn. We attained a favorable result in our legal matter due to all his efforts, which we believe would not have been possible without his expertise and advocacy. He fought hard for us and we are extremely appreciative of his commitment to our case and the positive impact he had on our lives and family. We highly recommend Joe Shoemaker to anyone seeking legal counsel.
