Virginia Post-Conviction
Criminal Defense Attorneys

Excellence in Post Conviction Relief I hired Jon as counsel to file for Habeas relief after I was convicted. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Sheldon has advised me on the status of my case, various different court decisions that could hold authority over the decision in my case, and overall has made himself very accessible throughout the process. Jon knows the law extremely well. When it comes to post-conviction relief, there is no one else I would trust to ensure my best interests.

Brilliant, Dedicated Given an 80 year sentence at 15 years old, I’ve been incarcerated for over two decades and I’ve never felt like I had a real advocate fighting for me until we hired Jon to represent me in my Habeas. As a defendant in the justice system, you feel the full suffocating weight of the state’s prosecution. Many times I felt hopeless. Jon has been by my side and put in long hours and great work struggling to give me back my life. He’s showed up in Virginia’s General Assembly to lobby for criminal justice reform. That shows his above and beyond dedication to reform. You hire Jon and you hire a brilliant attorney that is going to dedicate his time to helping you reclaim your life.

Knowledgable, Realistic I had a consultation with Mr. Sheldon regarding a 24 year old wrongful conviction case. I was impressed by how knowledgeable Mr. Sheldon was and that he was able to realistically explain the potential shortfalls as well as what may be helpful. I was very satisfied and would recommend Mr. Sheldon to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Amazing, professional Jon Sheldon is the best choice you can possibly make! He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in what he does! He is an EXPERT in post-conviction! I went to many attorneys before who said they could not help but, Jon was able to solve my post-conviction problem, which was really affecting my immigration process! It is no longer an issue for me! I am beyond happy with the results I received! It has totally changed my life!
