Norma helped me with a case. I can't say enough great things about her. She was prompt, had a wonderful "bed-side" manner with me as I navigated a difficult time, knew the law inside and out, and produced great results. I would highly recommend her.

I’d highly recommend Norma Wendt at this law firm. She was extremely proactive, relentless, and went the extra mile in my case! A lawyer that actually listens and was readily available for all my questions and concerns even if it was past business hours!

If you read through these reviews beyond mine you’ll notice a pattern how all of the negatives have multiple things in common. You’ll also see Terry say they are false or people he hasn’t represented. There’s a reason most of the reviews read the same. Don’t waste your money or time Terry still owes me my deposit 3 months late now. Said he “cut the check” never received anything. Find a reliable lawyer who actually cares

Response from owner

Mr. Grady is not a client of our Firm. His misleading fake negative reviews have been reported to Google in hopes they might actually police their system.

I couldn’t have Hired a more unorganized, uncommunicative, lazy attorney. After taking my initial 2,000 and not so much as filing a single thing with the court. It was “pay the rest of I drop the case”. I’ve got more accomplished with a public defender in 2 weeks time than Terry over the course of months. If I could five zero stars I would, because I’ve never had a worse attorney

Response from owner

At Shoemaker Law, we prioritize only the highest quality client representation. However, our records confirm that you, Ms. Holmes, are not and have never been a client of our Firm. Your engagement was solely as a 3rd party seeking representation for an acquaintance.<br>Upon entering the case, the acquaintance was facing multiple felonies. For a variety of reasons he was ineligible for bond and had to remain in jail.<br>The situation escalated when he incurred new charges will incarcerated, including violating a No-Contact Order (in which you were implicated), leading to the revocation of his existing bond. He subsequently acquired another felony for continued contact with the alleged victim.<br>Your claim of inadequate communication is a direct consequence of Attorney-Client Privilege. I am ethically bound to restrict discussions with non-clients. Furthermore, you ceased payment, having paid less than one-third (1/3) of the contract fee, effectively demanding services pro bono. Despite this, the work performed significantly exceeded the compensation received.<br>My client understood and accepted the need for our Firm’s withdrawal. While I regret your dissatisfaction, my professional and ethical duties were upheld throughout this situation.

“Okay, where do I start? Norma is hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. She’s outgoing, professional, and absolutely outstanding. When she tells you something, you can believe she’ll keep her word. If I ever need a lawyer again, this is the only place I’m going — nowhere else.” Thank you again for the best law firm in Saint Augustine.

Thank you!<br>

Terry was incredibly talented and professional when helping our family through a very difficult and tough situation. His years of experience showed that he knows what he is doing and what was best for us! Thank you for always being there and being so supportive and responsive when things felt uncertain. Highly recommend him!

Honored to help.

Norma is on it.

Response from owner

Sadly this review doesn’t tell the whole story. We are confident that we fought hard and smart for this gentleman and helped him get a very good result. However we ALWAYS respect the privacy of our clients so this is all we can say. Just know we are very proud of our work on this case.

Shoemaker did not do anything he said he was going to do. He was never available due to always being on vacation. He sent Tim probisco to see me and he was very rude. He knew nothing about my case. Shoemaker got payed 5,000 dollers to get me the same offer i got from the state. Also the father to my child was in the court room and shoemaker was unaware of who he was. The father to my child heard him talking negatively about me to the state attorney. Very unprofessional. Biggesr waste of money ever spent.

Many variables determine the outcome of your case, from the circumstances and nature of the offense, to the people within the justice system that you've now involved in your life, to what you say and do during the course of your case. Mr. Shoemaker is the constant variable, always does the utmost possible to bring the best result in your case, and If a good result can be had, Mr. Shoemaker can get it for you. Go with Terry Shoemaker.

Response from owner

Thank you Jimmy for the kind words.<br>

Never even got a chance to use them,they made me two appointment,but they made me call them instead of them call me for my own apt,with everything I have going on you would think this lawn firm would call there new potential clients for the apts instead.I know I missed my apt but a system with a apt reminder would be nice to have someone call about 10 min prior to the apt heck even the same day to remind someone would be nice.Pure laziness and lack of professionalism.They wouldn’t even make me a new apt before my court.Which really sucked because I was referred by a family member to use there services.Thanks for nothing Norma and this law practice.

Response from owner

This appears to be a fraudulent review. It has been reported to Google. Please provide at least a first name so we can verify that you are real.

Wow,where do I begin? I was charged in a domestic case with my 17 yr old granddaughter in a situation that got out of control but did not warrant an assault charge. I have never been arrested or even had an interaction with a police officer. I am oblivious to the law and felt I needed an attorney although almost everyone else said i didn’t but i have always been a better safe than sorry type individual. I literally googled attorneys and Shoemaker Law popped up and when i heard Norma Wendts voice the energy felt right so i chose Norma. She was the best decision i have made in quite some time. She was compassionate extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I think i drove her and Ashley crazy with my calls but they reassured me that everything would be fine and indeed the case was dismissed. I highly recommend Norma for any legal advice or if u need an attorney that is going to understand and fully defend you she is the ONE!

Thanks for your kind words.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Mr. Terry Shoemaker during my recent DUI case. From our very first meeting, it was clear that I was in capable hands. He took the time to explain every aspect of the legal process, ensuring I felt informed and supported throughout. What impressed me most was his deep understanding of DUI laws and the local court system. Mr. Shoemaker crafted a solid defense strategy tailored to my unique situation, demonstrating his commitment to achieving the best outcome possible. He was always available to answer my questions, and I never felt like just another case number. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, I received a favorable outcome that I didn't think was possible. I highly recommend Terry Shoemaker to anyone facing a DUI charge. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I am incredibly thankful for his support during this challenging time.

Response from owner

Thank you, Jackie! I appreciate your kind words and I am happy things turned out so well for you.

I honestly can’t thank Terry Shoemaker enough. Minutes before my first hearing, when everything felt overwhelming and uncertain, Terry stepped in and quite literally rescued me from correctional. From that moment on, it was clear I was in good hands. Terry’s communication skills are top-tier. Clear, timely, and always honest. He made sure I understood every step of the process, which gave me peace of mind during a really stressful time. He was also personable and genuinely caring. You don’t always find that combination during times like these. He stayed on top of everything, made sure nothing slipped through the cracks, and treated me like a person, not just a case file. I’ll always be grateful for the way he showed up for me when I needed it most.

Response from owner

Thank you Salma for being part of our Client Family!
