I highly recommend John Shoemaker for every aspect of Real Estate Law. I have had the opportunity to work closely with him as he fought for my landlords' and my tenants' civil rights, property rights and economic rights. I have witnessed his "full court press style" of fighting for people all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The decisions that he has obtained  have singlehandedly changed the landscape of housing rights and preserved for every one in every socio-economic class the ability to rise up and survive economically going forward.  After working with dozens of attornies I can't think of another one who is as quick on his feet, as passionate or as skilled as Mr. Shoemaker. I've also never encountered one who has the guts and perseverance to fight the good fight all the way to the top for all of us.  Mr. Shoemaker isn't fighting for a big retainer or a one time profit, he's fighting for justice for all of us and for his client to gain economic compensation for being damaged. He has been my first call for help for almost a decade and he will remain my first call for help and my first referral for those who need help. If you have been damaged if your rights have been disregarded or you want to blow the whistle, you could not have a better Advocate to help make you whole again.

The City adopted an inspection scheme targeting minority tenants in transitional neighborhoods. We hired John to draft the HUD complaint. The work quality, responsiveness and his knowledge were above expectations. The cost was below what we anticipated. We would highly recommend him for complex fair housing inspection policy issues.

John was excellent on patience to getting legal actions accomplished in the 2nd amendment catagory

I hired the Shoemaker Law firm “John” to represent me in a personal matter. John was very friendly and knowledgeable and if he was unsure of something he would consult his brother Paul. Between the two of them I feel that my situation was handled professionally, discreetly and very equitable. I wouldn’t hesitate to have John represent me again.

He is very detail oriented and is extremely thorough. He knows his topics and does extensive research to one up the competition. Very respected by his peer attorneys and Judges as well.

I had a lawsuit against the government for wrong doing and illegal acts towards my business that lasted for 13 years in Federal Court. I was very surprised at John's skill level. Not only did he know the law he was very accurate in recognizing the abusive litigation tactics of the other side and responding to them. He worked hard......even on the weekends and sometimes called me late at night because he was working on my case and wanted to talk to me about some details. It was expensive and he did not charge me for every little thing like most Attorneys do. If I were to need another Attorney for something, I would be afraid to have anyone other than John Shoemaker for my Attorney. He genuinely cared about the wrong done to me and wasn't in it only for the money. I'll bet the farm on this guy any day.

John Shoemaker is an aggressive and intelligent attorney. I've worked with him on a number of landlord tenant cases. He's practices his civil litigation skills effectively in both state and federal courts. He understands the court system very well.

Attorney Shoemaker exceeded all expectations for any job he has undertaken. He is trustworthy and always willing to spend whatever time is necessary to assure that I completely understand any topic raised, Mr. Shoemaker is very knowledgeable about any subject relative to my case, and has always kept me totally informed. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent attorney.
