"I have had the opportunity to consult and obtain Jon’s advice on numerous criminal matters and and he is, in my opinion, one of the preeminent criminal lawyers in Virginia, especially in the area of post-conviction. Having seen his post-conviction pleadings and argue before the Virginia Court of Appeals, his appellate and habeas knowledge and advocacy is unmatched.

"Jon Sheldon is the top authority in Northern Virginia when it comes to post-conviction remedies. As an immigration lawyer I routinely refer my clients to Mr. Sheldon and at least a few times a month I pick his brain on issues like habeas, coram nobis, or other options. He is without a doubt the top lawyer for this highly specialized area of law."
