Shumaker is a premier provider of quality legal services to our core constituency: individuals, small businesses, health care providers, nonprofit organizations, Fortune 500 and international corporations. Our mission is to work on our clients' timetable and budget, focus on results and keep our clients ahead of the curve.
Shumaker recruits and retains top graduates from leading law schools and provides young lawyers with specialized training in the areas in which they practice. Shumaker is one of the few law firms chosen to be listed in Kimm Alayne Walton's book, America's Greatest Places to Work with a Law Degree, published by Harcourt Legal and Professional Publications (1999). Our lawyers have diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and the firm has been designated by several United States government agencies to handle legal matters because of its minority and women attorneys and partners.
A number of Shumaker's past and current lawyers have served as general counsel to major corporations and sit on boards of large domestic and U.K. companies. The firm is also a strong supporter of nonprofit organizations in each of its four locations and it firmly believes in giving back to the communities it serves. Several of our lawyers have advanced degrees in disciplines related to their practices and a number have clerked for federal and state trial and appellate court judges. Fifty-two of our lawyers are listed in the prestigious publication, Best Lawyers in America.
We understand that when selecting a law firm, most clients are primarily looking for four things: (i) a high level of quality, sophistication, and experience; (ii) a creative and imaginative approach that focuses on finding solutions, not problems; (iii) accessible attorneys who give their clients priority treatment and extraordinary service; and (iv) a fair, cost-effective price.
Since 1925, Shumaker has met the expectations of business clients that require this level of service. For today's sophisticated clients, Shumaker offers a total package of quality, experience, value, responsiveness and an uncompromising commitment to servicing the legal needs of every client.
