Five Star Review

In a county known for NEVER reducing OVI charges (nor most charges, frankly) Mr. Sheldon was able to obtain a unanimous “not guilty” verdict from the jury in my case by utilizing his extensive knowledge of field sobriety tests and the driving laws of the state of Ohio. David became familiar with every second of the dash cam and body cam video presented in my case and used the video to my advantage, even though I failed the tests. A relative who has lived in Medina for over 30 years described winning this case anywhere in Medina County as “historic,” as it is extremely rare that a plaintiff wins in Medina County. Thank you, David! I am extremely happy with the service you provided. I hope to NOT need an attorney in the future, but if I do Mr. Sheldon will be the first person I call.

Personal Injury Payday

I was in a car accident and suffered a tear to my left rotator cuff. I had originally hired another attorney but grew dissatisfied because nothing was happening. I contacted David Sheldon, who was a customer of mine and informed me that he practiced personal injury law.

David was very knowledgeable about injury law and he and his fantastic secretary, Joyce, put me at ease about my case and the process. Joyce kept me informed of the status of the case and was always professional, reassuring and kind.

I knew that if my case had to be tried, Mr. Sheldon was the right person because of his vast experience with injury cases. I went through rotator cuff surgery and took about three months to recover. Although we had to file a lawsuit, David prepared me for my deposition and kept me informed about settlement offers.

Eventually, my insurance carrier agreed to pay an additional $25,000 on top of the negligent driver’s policy limits of $50,000. David also was able to get the insurance company to waive the medical payments it made on my behalf ($5,000.00) so I did not have to pay that back. He also helped negotiate down the amount my insurance company wanted me to pay back for all the medical expenses. He saved me another $5,000.00.

David and Joyce make a great personal injury team. I highly recommend their services.

Excellent outcome

I was involved in a minor traffic accident in Berea OH. When the police arrived they found a bottle of prescription pills near my truck and arrested me for drug possession, OVI, obstruction of official business and 2 minor traffic charges. Because I had priors, a conviction on any one of these charges would’ve changed mine and my family’s life forever. I initially hired an attorney to represent me but after a week with him I began calling other lawyers to get their opinion. After 5 minutes of speaking with David Sheldon I knew he was much more knowledgeable in this arena and seemed more qualified to handle my defense. I released my original attorney and hired Mr. Sheldon. After explaining the facts of my case and after Mr. Sheldon’s own research he filed a compelling motion to have all of my charges dismissed. After 6 months of pre-trials the prosecutor conceded that she had no viable case and dismissed all charges against me. In the end I paid fines for 2 minor traffic citations. I can’t recommend Mr. Sheldon enough. It’s hard to put faith in a complete stranger in a situation like this, but during 6 anxiety filled months, he assured me we were taking the right steps and he predicted a favorable outcome.

OVI Dismissed

I was on my way home from a party when the Montville Township Police Department pulled me over after following me for over 4 miles. My driver’s license had expired. The officer asked me if I had been drinking and I told him no. He told me he smelled alcohol and to get out of the car. He had me perform field sobriety tests on inclined pavement that sloped down to a sewer grate. The Great Houdini could not have passed them! The officer then arrested me for OVI.

I called David Sheldon because I knew of his reputation in Medina for fighting DUIs. He did not let me down. He reviewed the dash camera from the officer’s cruiser and told me there was no reason for the officer to order me out of the car to perform field sobriety tests. He also said that the tests have to be done a reasonably level surface which mine obviously were not. He filed a motion to suppress my illegal detention.
David did a great job on cross-examining the officer and showing why he had no reason to detain me. I was really impressed. The court agreed with Mr. Sheldon’s argument and suppressed the field sobriety tests and determined there was no reasonable articulable suspicion to detain me. The State of Ohio dismissed the OVI charge.

I would highly recommend Mr. Sheldon for your DUI/OVI case. He knows how to win! He knew the law like the back of his hand and he knew how to challenge and discredit the police officer’s testimony. Don’t assume the police are always right! Call Mr. Sheldon today!

Highly Assessable 

I would highly recommend David Sheldon. He had great communication with me and a fast response time when needed.

Attention To Detail

The degree of attention that David gave to both of my cases is immeasurable. Listening to him representing me was an experience in itself as he dug out the smallest details from my cases to win my cases. I was certain the second case was a lost cause and vastly underestimated what an experienced professional can get accomplished. It’s clear that by choosing this man to represent you, the best possible first step is already taken and impressive results await. Will recommend to everyone that’s in legal trouble.

Tops in Medina County

I am an attorney in Medina and hired David to represent a relative in a criminal matter. (Our firm does not handle criminal matters.) He did a fine job and as a result I have referred many clients to him over the years. He is very professional and caring. I would recommend him to anyone needing criminal representation in Medina County.

Jim

Very Satisfied Client

I consider myself fortunate to have David C. Sheldon represent me. I was in Cleveland for a visit and received an OVI. I was scheduled to leave Ohio the following day with a court date scheduled a few days later. Thanks to my nephew’s wife who contacted Attorney Sheldon, he agreed to represent me. Attorney Sheldon was successful in having the charges reduced. Throughout the 6 month process, Attorney Sheldon handled everything for me without requiring me to travel to Cleveland for court hearings. He and his assistant, Joyce, were both very attentive to my needs and always promptly returned phone calls and responded to emails. I felt very comfortable knowing I was represented by such a professional, competent attorney. I highly recommend Attorney David C. Sheldon.

Excellent Experience

David and his team helped me and my family through a very difficult time. I was injured in a near death auto accident. David was with me every step of the way through the process of getting “back to normal”. Even as life threw me a couple of other curve balls, David stepped up and assured me he would handle it. I have no regrets in our decision to let David into my unfortunate situation. David was upfront and honest from the beginning. My mother chose David when I was still in Intensive Care after meeting with many Lawyers. She said she knew instantly that she wanted to go with David.

An excellent lawyer 

Mr. Sheldon provided excellent guidance, professionalism and care in dealing with our minor child’s case. His calm demeanor was very helpful, as we were extremely nervous in our first and hopefully last encounter with the court. He was excellent about communicating all necessary information before, during and after our case. I would highly recommend him.

Difficult Times For College Student 

It was 22 years, 22 years that I have never faced a single problem with law enforcement until the month of September 2015. I was looking at multiple Misdemeanor charges with the possibility of Jail time for 30 plus days. I panicked after being released from Jail on a signature bond and started immediately doing research on top rated Lawyers in Medina County Ohio.

David Craig Sheldon was a top choice. After hiring Dave I was much calmer and felt at ease. Dave handled such a difficult time for me and my family and worked wonders in the court room. Dave is by far the best lawyer in Medina County if not the best choice in the state of Ohio. I recommend Dave to anyone facing legal troubles, he will fight for you and defend you no matter what the case. Don’t hesitate to call him, he worked wonders for me.

Excellent Attorney

I am so glad we picked David to represent us. He is EXCELLENT! He gives his all and truly cares about his clients. He is the best and I would recommend him to anyone! He is one of the most honest and knowledgeable people you will ever meet. He also has an awesome hard working staff to support him.

Very Satisfied Client

I was referred to Dave by a friend with a serious driving ticket. Dave and his wife worked with the courts to resolve the case. It was Dave’s knowledge of the law and procedures that convinced the prosecutor to drop the charge.

Gummy Bear bust in Brunswick

I am extremely happy with the handling of my daughter’s case by David Sheldon. It’s unfortunate that there was even a case to begin with considering the circumstances of the unwarranted charges against my daughter by the Brunswick police. None the less we had to fight the charge and needed to hire an attorney. Mr. Sheldon came highly recommended and I completely know why.

He listened, addressed all of our questions, answered our calls and emails and provided explanations every step of the way. So all great things right? Well it gets even better since his persistance led us to our case being completely DISMISSED!!! Thank you David Sheldon for providing us with such great service!!

Tami

Awesome Lawyer 

As a client of David Sheldon I was more then satisfied. He kept me informed and most of all calm with his knowledge of the law and gave me every option I could take with my offenses. He is a lawyer and very busy but his assistant is just as good at her job as Sheldon is. She makes sure if you need to talk to Sheldon, that he makes time the next day to call you. All in all A services Mr Sheldon and thanks for everything you did.

Caleb

Extremely Impressed

David handled a particularly difficult case for me and he was very impressive. He not only kept me informed along the way but was careful to insure that I was prepared for every appearance. David’s knowledge of the law, his experience with the various courts, and his professionalism and confidentiality throughout the process made a very difficult and embarrassing legal matter be resolved quickly.

Outstanding Representation 

Dear David Sheldon,

My family and I would like to thank you for the outstanding representation in my OVI hearing. My wife and I were worried sick about what to do and how to do it. But you calmed us down by quickly acting on the situation as needed. You were always In-Touch while first making yourself available on any given day or night when my crisis started and continued with important updates as my case progressed. Knowing the Legal Playing Fields, you adjusted their hurdles and you won the case. With your help, dedication and experience, all is well now and I give you my highest recommendation. And yes, I would definitely hire you again. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Lawrence R. Prochko
