Mr. Shoemaker

I was going through a very hard time with this case and at times didn’t always do what was asked in a timely fashion. Mr. Shoemaker never gave up on me or my case. In the beginning, he mentioned dismissal and I was very skeptical. But here I am today, free of this case (dismissal). Mr. Shoemaker has ...helped me start a new chapter in my life. He’ll never know how much I appreciate his patience and knowledge.

Best Lawyer in Dallas!

Mr. Shoemaker is hands down the best criminal attorney in Dallas TX! I recently caught 4 felony’s that I really was not guilty of but knowing the system I didn’t know how I can prove it. Then I spoke to Mr. shoemaker and after giving me story he said he can have these 4 felony drug charges probably... thrown out or reduced to misdemeanor which is all I cared about since I have a very good career and can’t be convicted of any felony’s. He seemed very confident in the way he talked to not only me but the DA and judge! Well it m glad to inform you he got all 4 felony’s dropped to misdemeanors just as he said and I honestly couldn’t believe it! He is a one of a kind attorney that cares about you and what you are going thru and then use the law on his side!! I will be recommending him for the rest of my life and have his number on speed dial just in case Cops wanna get smart! Thank you so much for saving my life Mr. Shoemaker! J.B.

Excellent Representation

Mr. Shoemaker knows his way around the Dallas courts, he works tirelessly for his clients. His know-how and skill based on the law has greatly assisted my husband with his charges. When other attorneys said it couldn't be done, Mr. Shoemaker showed that not only that it can be done, he showed that he... could do it! There were no other attorneys that I consulted with with prior to hiring Mr. Shoemaker that even thought of that possibility! I would and I have highly recommended Mr. Shoemaker to anyone facing prosecution in the Dallas court system, he has the ability to represent you very well.
