Best Lawyer Around!

Scott is just a good guy. Gave me legal advice and helped me on a personal level to ensure I did not cause myself any issues. Scott is an honest and upstanding citizen and I could not imagine ever having anyone but him represent me in any of my legal matters.

Highly Recommend

After consulting with multiple attorneys who spoke over our heads using legal jargon, we were lucky enough to meet Scott. We hired him on the spot as his communication skills were impeccable and we could tell that his heart is in the right place. Our first impressions were correct as he looked out f...or our best interests and fought for us from beginning to end. I hope that we never need legal representation again but if we do we would work with Mr. Sheldon again in a heartbeat.

Thankful

I spoke with Attorney Sheldon today and I am so happy I did. He provided me with information to help get going in the right direction. I appreciate his willingness to take time out of his schedule and talk to me about concerns I had. My business is in the startup stages, but he will definitely be my ...go to in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
