He gets a 5-star award from me!

I am an attorney. I have hired many attorneys during my 48-year career practicing law. None can compare with the expertise of Phil Sheldon. He is an attorney’s attorney. He is my first choice for any legal advice and he should be your first choice for any litigation. He gets a 5-star award from me!

AN ATTORNEY YOU CAN TRUST! AMAZING!

I hired Mr. Sheldon to handle my divorce. It was a nightmare of a case, but he got it handled, and didn't charge me for every single paper clip, like so many others do. He explained everything to me, and answered ALL my calls and emails HIMSELF! He was fair and honest, and I couldn't be happier wit...h his professionalism, intelligence, and experience. Do yourself a favor, when hiring an attorney. Ask a LOT of questions. Find one who doesn't have a lot of paralegals doing your work. Find one who doesn't bill you for every email you write to them. I HIGHLY recommend Philip Sheldon. He was fantastic to work with. I also referred him to a co-worker who needed immigration help, and he did a great job for her as well.

Amazing Attorney, he fights hard and wins!

Mr. Sheldon is a very professional attorney who under promised and over delivered. I am out of state and had a jurisdiction issue with a judge in CA. I was so confident the judge would rule against me and we would have to go to appeal that I hired Mr. Sheldon to make clean arguments to preserve the r...ecord for appeal. Well, he did a lot more than that! His arguments and research of the law was so convincing that a judge who never changes his mind had no other choice but to rule FOR me. Mr. Sheldon has saved me THOUSANDS in appeals fees. I will definitely hire him again in the future to handle child visitation, which CA does have jurisdiction over. The other thing I really like about this attorney was how easy it was to get a hold of him. I've worked with some attorney's who won't give out their cell phone or won't immediately update you when something happens on your case. I never had that problem here. Mr. Sheldon was on top of things and always let me know what was going on, which was really important to me being several states away.
