I know I can always count on Jon Sheldon. Lots of lawyers know the law, know their way around a courtroom, can write an excellent motion or brief. Jon's got all that expertise but also so much more. He knows how to get things done. Jon excels at finding a path through even overwhelmingly difficult circumstances. He is creative, cares deeply and knows all the angles. He acts with respect and compassion. Jon's experience and devotion to his clients combine to produce great results. I have consulted with Jon on matters involving criminal defense, post-conviction, pardon and compassionate release, and complex issues associated with mental illness. Jon is a treasured colleague. He is a wonderful and generous resource for the legal community as well as for his clients.

Mr. Sheldon is a expert in post convictions. What I really respect about Mr. Sheldon if he doesn't accept your case will present other options and tell you the pros and cons of your particular case because every case is different. As an officer of the court, I've run across people who have been financially taken advantage of knowing the odds are highly unlikely for them by others. Mr. Sheldon tells you the truth. I would recommend him even if for only for a consultation to know what the true odds are you're facing, to have a clear direction. Lots of respect. Mr. Sheldon won't take advantage or disappoint you. Very friendly and a good person all around. I would recommend.

I’ve been a criminal defense attorney in Virginia for over 20 years and I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mr. Sheldon during that time. I unhesitatingly recommend him as one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with.

Over the time, I’ve found Me. Sheldon to be quite knowledgeable in the law, very good to work with and a provider of sound advice.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jon Sheldon on several capital and non-capital state and federal habeas cases over the past two decades. He is extraordinarily generous with his time and expertise. He is always willing to take my call and brainstorm about cases, and I've repeatedly relied on his advice in making strategic decisions about how best to help my clients. He has proven to be an incredibly valuable resource for me and other post-conviction counsel in Virginia. Additionally, I've referred many clients to him, as I trust and respect his work. He is a dedicated, intelligent, compassionate and creative advocate and litigator.

I am a now-retired attorney who had the distinct honor and privilege of working with Jon Sheldon on a number of cases prior to my retirement. Jon is among the most dedicated, zealous, understanding, and perceptive attorneys whom I have ever encountered in the field of criminal defense, habeas corpus and other post-conviction proceedings, and appeals of same. I recommend him, with absolutely no limitation or qualification, to anyone unfortunate enough to find himself or herself in need of an attorney in one of those areas.

I have used Mr. Sheldon's services on many occasions, ranging from minor to some deep expertise required situations. Every time he was able to give us great advise and handle things in a very skillful way, without dragging the matter. That helped us develop utmost trust. Very happy with him and recommend him with full confidence.

Jon Sheldon has represented my step-son through a difficult situation. He has done an outstanding job and provides excellent advice. Our battle is still underway and we are still in the fight with Jon Sheldon leading the charge. For us, Jon Sheldon has been fighting on his own expense to improve outcomes for those given life sentences as a Juvenile. He has had some victories and opened the door for many like my step son to have a second shot. Jon is still fighting for my step son and we are hoping to see an eventual victory.
