I consulted with Mr. Sheldon about a legal issue and appreciated that not only did he seem much more knowledgeable than the other lawyers that I spoke with, but he was extremely straightforward about my chances for success – I really appreciate his honesty.

When first contacting Mr. Sheldon’s office I didn’t know what to expect. But I put my faith in God and knew he would answer our prayers. After having a conversation with Me. Sheldon, he asked me to send my husband’s transcript to him. And I did just that. After Mr. Sheldon reviewed my husband’s transcript, he called and said to me that he would take his case. At the time of call I was at work. But hearing that made that day the best for us. Mr. Sheldon went right to work after that. He is a lawyer that sticks to his guns. Goes hard for his clients. Researches and can see straight through garbage. He is one of kind. He stays persistent and on task. My family and I looks at Jon as one of the family. We are forever great full for all he’s done and what he continues to do. He makes power moves. So glad we have you on our team. Jon Sheldon you rock!!!!! We Love you Jon!!

Given an 80 year sentence at 15 years old, I've been incarcerated for over two decades and I've never felt like I had a real advocate fighting for me until we hired Jon to represent me in my Habeas. As a defendant in the justice system, you feel the full suffocating weight of the state's prosecution. Many times I felt hopeless, how can you not when the prosecution measures success by how many years they can strip away from you? Jon has been by my side and put in long hours and great work struggling to give me back my life. He's showed up in Virginia's General Assembly to lobby for criminal justice reform. That shows his above and beyond dedication to reform. Every Virginia defendant needs an attorney who knows the law inside and out, who intimately understands Virginia politics and all the different elements impacting our state justice system. You hire Jon and you hire a brilliant attorney that is going to dedicate his time to helping you reclaim your life.

I had a consultation with Mr. Sheldon regarding a 24 year old wrongful conviction case. I was impressed by how knowledgeable Mr. Sheldon was and that he was able to realistically explain the potential shortfalls as well as what may be helpful. I was very satisfied and would recommend Mr. Sheldon to anyone in need of legal assistance.

My name is Delfino Ramirez and Jonathan Sheldon represented me in a civil rights case. Mr. Sheldon did quality work on my case and put a lot of effort into my representation. I felt that Mr. Sheldon showed great care for me and my case during his representation. He had very prompt and effective communication with me and was always available to speak to me when needed. He gave his best effort, worked very hard and, though it wasn’t the exact result that we wanted, achieved a satisfactory settlement for my case. He’s a very trustworthy and honest individual and I would recommend him to anybody who needs a good attorney.

Jon Sheldon is the best choice you can possibly make! He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in what he does! He is an EXPERT in post-conviction! I went to many attorneys before and have been told that there is nothing can be done with my case! Jon was able to solve my post-conviction problem, which was really affecting my immigration process! It is no longer an issue for me! I am beyond happy with the results i received from Jon Sheldon! It has totally changed my life!

I reached out to Mr. Sheldon after discussing the matter with several other attorneys. I in fact hired another attorney prior to Mr. Sheldon, who did nothing, despite insisting on my innocence did absolutely nothing and eventually I was given a verdict that was very detrimental to me. and I ending up appealing the verdict. When I reached out to Mr. Sheldon, I first explained everything, my situation, and the first thing I asked him was if he believed in what I told him, that I was innocent and I was falsely accused and to take up my case only if he believed me. He, I presume, studied all the facts and also me as a person and took up my case. We had in fact over time developed mutual respect for each other. I can vouch and say for sure, Mr. Sheldon left no stone un-turned, he put in every possible effort, obtained every possible material, facts, documents, he spent time studying and preparing for the trial. I too reposed complete faith in him. At the trial The prosecutor spent hours parading their evidences, Mr. Sheldon however was short and sweet to the point stressing only on facts based pertinent evidences very few but very critical questions to point out the facts, only possible due to the time he spent preparing. The outcome was, the Jury unanimously in almost 15 minutes reached a verdict and acquitted me as not guilty. I was totally elated and humbled. I would definitely say, if not for Mr. Sheldon's hard work, preparation and thoroughness, I would still be fighting to prove my innocence. If there is anybody fighting hard and needs an attorney who will stand up for them and fight to get them justice, they should not wait and waste a second longer, I say reach out to Mr. Sheldon, the man he is, he will do everything in his power to help you.

This attorney helped me and gave me the right guidance even though I was in another jurisdiction. He gave me the help and guidance that I needed months ago. Also, he is very experienced and willing to help.
