BOI Testimonial: “My family and I are eternally grateful…”

I was facing the possibility of the termination of my Navy career after 17 years’ service due to an arrest. At the head of my team was Mr. David Sheldon who helped a board of inquiry come to the decision, not only to retain me in service, but that I was in fact not guilty of the events that led to the arrest. My family and I are eternally grateful for the hard work put together by Mr. David Sheldon and my Coast Guard attorney that resulted in the removal of the allegations that threatened my Navy career.

Testimonial: “You gave me back 17.5 years of my life..”

Good Morning All,

I believe I was so happy after the results were giving to me that I probably forgot to thank all of you for wonderfully taking care of my case. I really don’t think this would not have been possible without your dedication and the professional relationship between the two of you. You gave me back 17.5 years of my life and I don’t have any words to say how much i appreciate all you did for me and my family. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

V/r,
PO1 L.R.

Court Martial Testimonial: “Truth and perseverance prevailed”

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.

PHS Testimonial: “Responsive, thoughtful, and pragmatic”

As a Public Health Service Officer serving the behavioral health needs in isolated frontier communities, I was understandably worried when an adverse privileging action was taken against me. Practicing in isolation, with agency antagonism, and without federal division support, left me vulnerable to personal injury and professional jeopardy. I retained Attorney David Sheldon who immediately acted to protect my interests. Responsive, thoughtful, and pragmatic, Mr. Sheldon (himself a prior Navy attorney and well versed in the uniformed service) was able to get the decision reversed and my position secured. I highly recommend him for any uniformed service member. It is money well spent!

Litigation/Federal Testimonial: “Mr. Sheldon and his team were the first people to stand up for me..”

Many of us who join the military are born red, white and blue. But what do you do when, as the song says, they point the cannon at you? Finding yourself falsely charged for a crime or an infraction by your country that you have given your everything to is shocking, debilitating, and leads to some of the worst despair. When this happens, call the law offices of David Sheldon. I waited several years, but eventually found my way to Mr. Sheldon, and I will forever be grateful that I did. I only wish I had asked him to defend my good name sooner.

David and his team take the time to review your case and provide an honest assessment. Nothing is promised, except the most vigorous representation, which is all one can ask from their attorney. Litigation with the federal government is time-consuming, tedious, seems never-ending, and is often soul-crushing. When you are in trouble, you need someone who has the experience, the knowledge, and the fearlessness to take on an often out-of-control and abusive system that far too often treats the soldier, the sailor, the airman, or the marine unjustly.

Mr. Sheldon and his team were the first people to stand up for me, and the first group of people to say that what had happened to me wasn’t right. They have given me a voice, helped me to make my claim, and provided me the opportunity to fight back. I will forever be grateful.

BCMR Testimonial: “David Sheldon and his team are absolutely great Americans and superb attorneys.”

David Sheldon and his team are absolutely great Americans and superb attorneys. After filing for divorce, my ex-wife decided to barrage me with false allegations of abuse and nearly ended my career. I retained David Sheldon and was immediately treated like a family member. They left no rock unturned and were prepared for battle each step of the way. They fought and my promotion was reinstated, an adverse Fitrep was removed by an Admiral, and we proved to the BCNR that the CNPC had violated title 10 USC along with various SECNAV instructions which resulted in 2 backdated promotions with all pay and allowances. I hope to never have to retain counsel again, but if I ever did, I would without a doubt call the Law Offices of David Sheldon. Thank you for everything you do!

Testimonial: “I will be forever grateful for the Sheldon law firm’s first-class efforts.”

Think I have a new appreciation of a lawyer’s rendition of being “in the arena.” Would also argue that arena is one of the toughest.

After nearly a week to mull over what we experienced, I keep returning to the same conclusion: We had a worthy warrior who did an excellent job making the key points while handling a continuous barrage of tough questions.

Whatever the outcome, I know that we’ve been blessed with determined and able legal assistance. Whatever the outcome, I will be forever grateful for the Sheldon law firm’s first-class efforts.

Respectfully

Court Martial Testimonial: “I would absolutely recommend them for any case!!”

My family and I would sincerely like to thank David and the firm for their dedicated and timely service on my case! David and his team were able to negotiate an extremely favorable plea deal in my case that otherwise would have ended with a punitive discharge, loss in rank and benefits, including my retirement. David and the team were extremely knowledgeable and professional during the 3 month investigation window and helped me through every step along the way. I would absolutely recommend them for any case!!

Testimonial: “Because of your (and your team) efforts I received my Associate Degree last night”

David,

Just wanted to let you know that because of your (and your team) efforts I received my Associate Degree last night graduating with High Honors (3.8/4). I finished college in December and their once a year graduation ceremony was yesterday. My wife and father watched as their loved one strode across the stage and picked up a miracle. My mother watched from Heaven.

I started university in January and finished on the Dean’s List (3.875/4). All these accomplishments started on April 6, 2011. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your hard work and encouragement to “Tell the Truth”. I wish there was more that could be given than a simple “Thank you”, but it is all this former Marine turned college graduate can think of to give to you. Thank you, David.

Take care,
MJH
