Jon is the go-to expert for post-conviction matters in Virginia. He is exceedingly skilled, has more experience with post-conviction matters than any of his peers, and his work is as thorough as it gets. With post-conviction claims, you need a lawyer who knows exactly what to look for, searches for it with a fine-toothed comb, then has the legal acumen to turn what he found into a compelling argument for justice. That's exactly how Jon approaches every case. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney specializing in post-conviction matters, I highly recommend Jon Sheldon. I initially sought his help for my relative’s case after being referred by another attorney who called him to be “magical”. That recommendation proved to be true. Unlike some attorneys who might give false hope or overpromise, Jon was upfront about the challenges and realistic about potential outcomes. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail—he carefully reviewed every aspect of the case to ensure nothing was overlooked. Jon identified a few paths forward, showcasing his deep expertise in post-conviction law and even got one of the petitions granted despite it being past the statue of limitations which is super rare! If you're considering a consultation, it's well worth your time. Jon is the kind of attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly to explore every possible avenue. I couldn’t have been more grateful for his help in my relative’s case.

I've known Jon for years, and he's is a knowledgeable, accessible attorney. Strongly encourage you being in touch when trouble knocks.
