I was connected with Shoemaker Law through the MetLaw system. Jason Shoemaker was going to create advance medical directives, durable power of attorneys, and wills for myself and my spouse.
We had an initial consultation with him and provided him with the information he requested within a week of the consultation. He promised drafts of the 6 documents at the start of the week we were supposed to sign them. He missed his own deadline, asking further questions instead of providing drafts. He had 5 weeks prior to this deadline to ask questions and did not. We received the drafts of only the medical directives and power of attorneys a day after his deadline, and they had errors. We provided feedback and they were corrected. We received our wills the day before our signing appointment. They also had errors. We decided to only sign the medical directives during our appointment since the other 4 documents still were not complete and there was no time to correct them.
At the appointment, we told Jason Shoemaker our intentions to sign the 2 documents and take the other 4 to another attorney based on our negative experience with him. He called my spouse and me "condescending and difficult", left the conference room, and went to his office, slamming the door. We didn't get to sign any documents and I was left to explain to the notary, who was on her way to the conference room, that we no longer needed her.
Overall, our experience with Jason Shoemaker was negative. He missed his own deadline without requesting an extension, was combative when we asked simple legal questions, and insulted us and threw a fit during our meeting. His actions show him to be unprofessional. read more
