Taking a stand can be daunting. The Law Offices of David P. Sheldon PLLC provided timely and valuable legal counsel during the most challenging period of my career. I felt like David against Goliath: the gravity of the system is overwhelming. David and the team were there to provide timely and relevant advice. My legal team gave me the tools and confidence to stand up to the system AND WIN!

David & Your Team,

I would like to take this time to thank you all for your dedication and effort on my behalf. I plan to seek out your services very shortly to discuss my Court-Martial. I really think we have a good chance and enough evidence to prove that I did not receive a lawful and fair trial on the basis of a “sleeping juror” during the proceedings…

Again, thank you both SO VERY MUCH!!!

Sincerely,

M.L.

I can’t thank Attorney Sheldon enough for his work on my case in obtaining my security clearance. I was facing an administrative discharge board due to the security issue. He was able to get another review of the facts and . . . I was granted a clearance.

Now all those sleepless nights, the worries, and stress are gone. Again THANK YOU from my wife and 3 daughters.

David,

I have no idea what this victory means to you and your staff, it means the absolute world to my family and me. We are a close knit family and it devastated us when I was court-martialed. This victory helps greatly in the healing process.

Once again, David, thank you so much for all your efforts. Truth and perseverance prevailed. God bless you, your family and your staff.

M.H.

I cannot thank David and his staff enough for all the work they put into my case. It was truly a team effort. David fought for me in person at a Formal Medical Evaluation Board in TX and made sure we won. He made sure my 18+ years of service was not thrown away due to a medical issue. He came prepared and explained everything along the way. The expertise of him and his team is unmatched. I cannot thank them enough for giving me my career back and allowing me the chance to retire with full benefits on my terms, when I am ready and not just when one doctor says I should. They were amazing from day one and never failed to keep me up to date on everything. Thank you for everything you all did for me.

Sir David!!

You have slayed Goliath!!

On behalf of my wife and my two little ones, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We’re so happy to be CPT and Mrs. (USAR Ret).

Your exceptional team at the Law Offices of David P Sheldon, PLLC, helped me overcome a huge Army error regarding my USAR pension. The bureaucracy could not admit this error that put my retirement on hold for 3 years, which is very unfair to a man and his family. Even military retirement orders were not enough for an admission from the highest levels within the Army retirement chain-of-command.

Mr. Sheldon held fast and with great confidence and law expertise, convinced the Army Board of Corrections, that my retirement was justified.

Forever Grateful,

RC
CPT, USAR Ret

“If your ability to take care of your family, your reputation, and your military career are at risk, then you need a lawyer with exceptional skill, as well as an extensive knowledge of the law in order to give you the best expert advice, represent you with tenacity, confidence, fearlessness, and skill. The aforementioned are the qualities that Mr. Sheldon has in abundance and they are the qualities that led me to select him above all others to represent me and be my advocate (in “my corner”) when I found out that my nearly 20-year career and personal reputation was at, risk due to false allegations.

Over the course of a few weeks he rapidly assessed my situation and brought to bear his many years of experience to defend me and my family name. He is “fighter” that went to battle on my behalf with a level of expertise and ferocity that is only seen in the most experienced and dedicated lawyers. His deep and extensive knowledge of the military justice system, expert advice and persistence in leaving no false allegation unchallenged were the decisive factors in proving my innocence. I was also deeply impressed and appreciative of the collegial atmosphere and excellent working relationship that he developed with my military appointed counsel, as they both worked together to prove my innocence.

Thanks to Mr. Sheldon, my name is cleared and I have my life and career back. If you are a member of the military and find yourself in need of legal representation, then my advice to you is not to delay not even one minute and call Mr. Sheldon Immediately!!! ”

I am a Marine that was placed on TDRL after a medical board decided I was medically unfit to serve due to an eventful deployment to Afghanistan where I was injured from multiple IED blasts. I was placed at 70% DOD and 100% VA disability upon the conclusion of my medical board, but I was re-evaluated in December 2018 where my DOD rating was unjustifiably dropped from 70% to 10%, effectively causing my family to lose retirement benefits that we depend on. This decision from the DOD was made shortly after the VA decided that my conditions had not changed and that I still rated 100%.

I was given 15 days to accept the decision from the DOD or fight it and I was lost as to where to find someone to help. I found David Sheldon online and contacted him and immediately I felt hopeful that my family and I were going to be taken care of. In our first conversation he said, “so the USMC said you can’t perform your duties because of your conditions and a year later you are completely better, right?” this let me know this is his realm of expertise and that he understood my predicament. I decided to go with him because my family’s welfare was on the line and I needed someone that could fight for us. David never disappointed and really proved his level of commitment during the hearing where he absolutely controlled the room and got the results we wanted. I am forever grateful for the work he put in to make sure my family and I were taken care of.

Mr. Sheldon immediately evaluated my case, arranged for an expert evaluation, and prepared me and my case for success. I worried—did I make the right decision? The first time I met Mr. Sheldon he clearly knew my case, knew what we had to do, and then did it. When we went to the hearing, we were so prepared that during the hearing the Board adjourned and offered to stipulate to what we wanted—a total victory. I really don’t doubt that, but for hiring Mr. Sheldon, I would not be retired from the Marine Corps today. For that I am very grateful.

But Mr. Sheldon also offered something more—from my interactions with him, you know he really does care—he cared about me and I know he cares about the other service members who he represents. You get that and an attorney who knows what to do, how to do it, and will do it. Pretty remarkable.
