Needs to Retire

Steve Sheldon needs to retire. He was the most unorganized and unprofessional Parenting Coordinator. It was the only thing my ex-husband and I agreed upon in a long time! He did not actually help us to make joint parenting decisions instead I wold say he fueled the fire. He rarely respond to emails ...or requests for help in a timely manner. Even when we had emergencies he would not respond in time. We switched to Dr. Weinstock, whose office always responds immediately and whether or not you like their decisions they are at least organized and attempt to be fair and their reports to the Court are actually helpful and productive in making parenting decisions.

A Huge Thank You

My first experience with a meeting between Judge Shelton, my Ex-husband and I was rough as my Ex had prior to our meeting provided faulty information to Judge Sheldon. But after that meeting, when I could provide proof of what really was going on and the Ex only had “he said, she said” Judge Sheldon ...figured it out pretty quickly and was on top of it. I wish he could of continued on our case as he is and was desperately needed. He was fair and really a God send. He was quick to help dissolve conflict and wasn’t afraid to let either party know they were out of line. I had my doubts after my first meeting, but seeing him in action with facts, I would of hired him again and again. I actually tried but the other party didn’t agree and it has been hell since he left our case. Thank you Judge Sheldon for doing an awesome job for the time you worked on our case.

Our Family Hero!

Until a name was given to the trip of abuse I and my children suffered, I had no way to really get help. Judge Sheldon read everything I brought him, he truly listens and was able to see through the many layers that constitute the Personality a disorder my ex suffers and thus, the spacific crazy...-making abuse that never stops, even after years of divorce. I highly recommend Jusge Steven Sheldon if you ex refuses to allow you to disengage from that cycle of abuse you thought you were going I escape with the divorce. He is fair, honest, and knows how these guys target you and what it does to your children. There is hope!

"I just cannot say enough about the abilities and intelligence of Mr. Sheldon. His experience as a Superior Court Judge, and his private sector experience, puts him above the rest. He is very fair and unbiased, and I would recommend him to anyone needing a mediator or parenting coordinator."
