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
Owner response
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.
A Horrible & unprofessional experience here at shoemaker law
“Edit” you only replied this to make yourself not look like a piece of garbage. Return my deposit Terry. And anyone reading this take it from me. go somewhere else.
Owner response
Christopher… please call our office to let us know more detail about your concerns… we want to do all we can to make you pleased with our services. <br>
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
Owner response
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.
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!
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.

This review is being looked at by Google for false information.
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.
