From Our Clients
Referrals from our clients are our best recommendation. Our clients are happy to share their experience working with us, but due to the personal and sensitive nature of our work, only first names are being used to protect their privacy.”
“I can’t say enough about Steve & Patty! They’re an amazing duo that did a wonderful job for my son when he was going through a custody battle. They saw the truth and took care of business. We’re so please with the outcome of our case and are truly blessed that they were there to fight for us. Thank y’all so much for everything you did for my son and my grandkids.“
“I can’t express how much of a blessing it was to have this team by my side when I was rapidly deployed with the GA Army National Guard. They were able to help me make the case for my son to stay where he was for stability while I was away. I am a single mom and a nursing student when I am not deployed. They worked/are working with me on my payments, and did not turn me down just because I did not have a retainer. These people care about the family unit, they care about their Service members, and I feel like the genuinely care about me. Even after the case was over and I was deployed, they contacted me just to see how I was doing and how things at home were going, and if I needed anything else. My fiance and I will be seeking their assistance in the future with a modification to both of our custody cases with our children. Again, a true blessing to have people who actually care about their clients!”
“Steven Shewmaker handled my divorce. A true professional at what he does. He’s smart, quick, thorough,knowledgeable and professional in every way. He is well known in the court system for his ability to get things done for his clients. In addition to his talents he is also a gentleman and a just a real nice guy. I hope I never have to use him again but if the time arises he will be my number one pick!“
