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 outc...omes 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.

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 ci...rcumstances. 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.

Jonathan Sheldon represented me in a criminal post conviction case that spanned several years. Stage after stage in the post conviction process he stood by my side and fought in my behalf. He is well respected in his field and has many professional relationships that assisted me in my struggle to o...vercome an 80 year sentence that I was given at 15. Even after my appeals had run their course Jon Sheldon still fought on my behalf. This shows the heart and emotional investment he puts into his client’s case. He lobbied to change laws that would help others in my situation gain parole eligibility. And after gaining parole eligibility Jon Sheldon represented me during my parole hearing and advocated to the parole board why I should be given parole. This man is something special. The very first time I met him I remember being struck by how knowledgeable and legally sharp he was. I had met with several lawyers and had to labor through explaining to them the direction in which I wanted to fight my case, Jon was finishing my sentences. This man fought until I was freed!

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.
