Navy Upgrades Discharge to Honorable in Board of Record Correction Decision

The Law Offices forwarded the decision from Board for Correction of Naval Records where the board found in the officer’s favor and granted the decision to upgrade the records to reflect Honorable. The decision removed the narrative reason for the discharge from Misconduct to Secretarial Authority, removing the RE-4 enlistment code and substituting an RE-1A.

Sir,

Words can not express how grateful I am. I am so happy I found you and we got this outcome. This news is life altering and I’m so happy. I’m so grateful for all your hard work and effort. This is a huge win for us all. I thank you for your understanding and wisdom and patience. Not everyone was willing to give me a chance to tell my story. Your law firm let me have a voice again. I’m so glad you were in my corner and your knowledge and expertise lead us here. I’m so proud and so grateful! You guys are making a difference every day with the work you do. It’s so honorable and I’m so happy for us all. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!!

Testimonial: “If you are a veteran who has been wrongfully discharged, these are the people you need to speak with.”

As a veteran who was wrongfully discharged from the military, the best thing that could have happened to me post-separation was getting in touch with David and his team. I was told I failed a urinalysis test which resulted in a loss of my GI bill and other benefits. After meeting with David and receiving a date in an appeals court, David managed to argue my case resulting in the clearing of any wrongdoing and a discharge upgrade to honorable. Today, I am a full time college student using my GI bill and other benefits. If you are a veteran who has been wrongfully discharged, these are the people you need to speak with.

Testimonial: “I would highly recommend David P. Sheldon.”

After my son’s Other than Honorable discharge for something he didn’t do, we turned to David Sheldon and his team. Not only were they helpful in correcting the “wrong” that was done, David and team were patient, communicative, and responsive. I would highly recommend using David Sheldon. He was worth every penny!

Testimonial: “I highly recommend the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon for all of your military legal needs.”

Mr. Sheldon and his team were great right from the start. He laid out a knowledgeable plan of defense with a course of action that was born out of experience, with every intention of leveling the playing field to get to a fair result. I was caught up in a broken system filled with bias, privilege, and presumption. He was the voice that I needed in order to be heard and given even a chance of receiving some sort of justice. His advice and legal council brought peace and reassurance throughout the process and a result that could not have been achieved otherwise. I highly recommend the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon for all of your military legal needs as a very resourceful, informed, and experienced high powered firm that has a personal touch of immediate availability and response time. He will genuinely fight on your behalf and is an outstanding advocate to have by your side no matter what the charge or accusation. I was facing a command that was trying to end my career and ruin my record over contradictory instructions and technicalities that were being applied maliciously in an unequal fashion, but instead I am being allowed to remain in service to eventually retire as planned. I am extremely grateful for Mr. Sheldon and his team.

Testimonial: “I knew this team would get the job done, and they did.”

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Office of David P. Sheldon as well as his team that worked closely with me during this entire legal process. I’m not sure how much I can discuss, but I can say that I was promised something when I was first commissioned and was then later informed that the USPHS made a mistake and would not honor what they originally agreed upon. Common sense told me that this was wrong and unfair and that I needed legal representation. I did seek out two other firms other than David Sheldon and that same common sense told me that this was the firm to represent me, without any reservation. After speaking with David I felt that he had the most experience, the most confidence and the most integrity which instantly gave me a sense of assurance. It was that assurance that made the whole process tolerable and comfortable as well as a deep feeling that I had nothing to worry about. Truly, I knew in the back of my mind that this team would get the job done, and they did. Again I can’t express my gratitude enough for a job well done.

With great thanks,

Testimonial: Veteran Benefits and Retirement Restored for USPHS Member

My first call with David demonstrated his knowledge of the “system” and gave me hope.I could not get a single phone call returned or an email reply from my service branch without his law firm’s help. As a result of their intervention I’ve been able to receive all the retirement and VA benefits that I was entitled to. These benefits had been ignored or denied, until their legal team set to work on my behalf, and achieved complete resolution. Thanks again to the entire staff of the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon PLLC.

Testimonial: “You were phenomenal and I cannot thank you enough.”

Mr. Sheldon,

Thank you for your support over the years. I needed to wait until after the all legal proceedings before I could reach out. The court martial concluded in December WITHOUT a punitive discharge and NO prison confinement.

We did it sir! Now I am being separated with an honorable and severance pay, Thank you so much for your hard work on my appeal and getting my court-martial over turned. I hope you are proud of the work you have done on my case. You were phenomenal and I cannot thank you enough.

Very Respectfully,

MB.
