I am a Warrant Officer in the USN. I have one child, 7 years of age and Mr. Hammond represented myself and several other military members in my command. Mr. Hammond's professional knowledge of the law, as well as his military experience, really came through for me during a two year custody battle o...ver my son. Because of Mr. Hammond's aggressiveness, legal acumen and wonderful staff, I was able to retain custody of my child and given flexibility on paying my legal fees. He is simply the best of the best. I can't say enough about Mr. Hammond and his staff.

...especially when the range happens to be a courtroom. Opponents should duck and cover in order to avoid the line-of-fire of this legal marksman. Mr. Hammond has represented me on multiple occasions in matters related to a rather protracted and rancorous divorce now in its fourth year of life. Wh...ile other attorneys have left me in the lurch while ineptly throwing me to the wolves, Shawn Hammond continually snatches victory from the jaws of seemingly imminent defeat with a defined tactical approach that is tied to a winning strategy. Shawn Hammond defines the ideal of citizen-soldier, both on the field of battle and in the halls of justice; all the while personifying the credo: Honor, Courage, Commitment.

Shawn and Carl are truly the very best in Augusta. I feel so fortunate to have found and hired him first; because if my ex had hired him first this would be a different write up. Do you want lay waste to your opponent? Do you want that smile on your face that only comes from being vindicated in a c...ourt of law? Take it from me, I had the most hateful and vindictive ex on planet and no one knows civil and military law better than Shawn. He is a master of his craft and a maverick in the court room. If you want the best then Hammond Law is it and you’ll be so glad you didn’t go across the parking lot to the “other” guy who is still trying to figure out why he keeps loosing!

I did not know who to hire because so many other lawyers claim to have experience in divorce and military divorce. Upon researching each lawyer I can tell you that there are a lot of frauds out there. I am so grateful that I hired this Shawn as the other lawyer was a pure IDIOT!! I am also grat...eful to the paralegal Tabitha who runs the office. She was great as well. I always had my calls or e-mails returned and always knew what was going on with my case. In addition, Shawn took the time to explain everything to me and took away all of the fear and anxiety I had about my case. In his office Shawn uses the phrase that he "hates being right all the time." Until we got into court, I thought that this was a little boastful. However, when court time came everything he said would happen was exactly correct. Needless to say, he kicked butt! I am forever glad I hired him. He protected me and more importantly, my children.

I hired Mr. Hammond because he has a lot of military experience and has been a lawyer for 14 years. Also, he is the only lawyer I found who has actual combat service. His skills and leadership from his Infantry tours in Afghanistan and Iraq were certainly needed in my divorce. My ex-wife was try...ing to take everything from me and had lied to try to get me kicked out of the Army. She had accused me of domestic violence even though I was deployed!! She also accused me of not supporting her and the kids eventhough she had complete control of the bank account and my whole paycheck went in there. She had gone to IG, JAG and my commander who believed everything she said. However, Mr. Hammond worked with my command and the Court to take care of everything. In preparing for Court Mr. Hammond developed a trial plan that was about the same as the invasion of Iraq. The other lawyer did not see the "shock and awe" coming because my wife had lied to him. Mr. Hammond in court was something to see. Whatever he said it seemed that the Judge instantly believed. We presented our case with all our witnesses but it was so incredible and relieving to see our case unfold and the truth finally presented. When it was all done I had custody of my kids and protected my retirement. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Hammond. He is a lawyer who truly FIGHTS for his clients.
