It's an open and shut case. Mr. Sheldon is a highly skilled trial attorney with impeccable morals and well respected in the legal community – all hallmarks of an effective defense attorney. He is tough, tenacious, one of the best around, and has the record to prove it. Mr. Sheldon was always on point with his analysis and understanding of the law and the evidence, and exhibited keen insight into how to obtain the best outcome. I was facing multiple felony charges in several localities around Virginia as a result of false accusations from an ex, yet from our first meeting I felt a sense of peace knowing I was in capable hands. From his meticulous preparation and exceptional litigation skills I was acquitted on all counts. His real character comes out in high pressure situations where most attorneys unravel. He can grasp facts and issues in a courtroom on his feet faster than anyone else. I would refer him without hesitation having first handed experience as Mr. Sheldon was always available and handled my cases tirelessly, diligently, and professionally. The best, period.
Greg is such a great lawyer, truly the best. He comforted my family and myself with reinsurance. We were able to get my situation sorted out and even get to be able to spend the holidays with my family. I definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone.

As a veteran, I have been in very many stressful situations. Nothing prepared me for my arrest, however. I was in a dark place, and didn't think there was any way out.
