He also has handled residential and commercial real estate transactions, land use applications, estate planning and probate disputes, guardianships, among other areas, according to his Woodbury law firm's website.
Shoemaker graduated from the University of Vermont as a double major in political science and U.S. history. He received his J.D. from Rutgers University, where he served as an editor of the Rutgers Law Journal. He then clerked for Judge Donald A.
