About

I began my career as a prosecutor in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.  I have been practicing criminal law and family law in Rock Hill, South Carolina since 2008.  My criminal cases focus on everything from DUI all the way to murder charges.  In Family Court I focus primarily on divorce and custody litigation, but also do a large amount of DSS work defending parents accused of abusing or neglecting their children. I attended undergraduate school at the College of Charleston and obtained a BA in History and a BA in Philosophy (2003).  I earned my Juris Doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2006. I am a member of the South Carolina Bar Association, York County Bar Association and the South Carolina Assiciation of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  I also coach the Fort Mill Middle School and Nation Ford High School Mock Trial Teams. When I am not in a courtroom I enjoy spending time with my wife, boating on the lake and golfing.

I hired Nathan to be my divorce attorney. I found him to be very knowledgeable in the law but still could easily explain it to me as a layman. Nathan worked on my case for over a year. During that time I found he was usually very easy to get a hold of and would respond within a few hours of my requests. Nathan also was very good at managing his time on my divorce and stayed within my original retainer amount. Overall I would strongly recommend Nathan.

I appreciate you walking me through the unexpected process of separation. It wasn't by choice but I am glad you were there to help. You covered all the questions I had very throughly and it was much appreciated again. I look forward to meeting again to finalize my divorce.

I found Nathan here on this very website! The other user reviews were all very positive so I contacted him based on that information. From the very start of my custody battle, Nathan and his paralegal Lori, showed confidence, professionalism and most importantly, compassion for my situation. I hear a lot of horror stories about these situations, lawyers who don't communicate, who overcharge for services they seem only half interested in....I tell you all from my firsthand experience, this is NOT the case with Nathan. I will never be able to thank him enough or praise his service enough. Because of his skill and understanding of the legal processes I get to have custody of my child, I feel another lawyer would of been found wanting in this reguard. Thank you Nathan, thank you Lori.....and thank you to the Shaw law firm for providing excellent legal advice and services without costing me and arm and a leg.

Nathan and Lori handled a divorce for me and all in all I feel like they did the best job that could be done. He was able to avoid mediation and offered many options in paying alimony, child support, etc. They treated me with respect and not just as another client. I travel much for my job and he was flexible in communicating with me via email, texting, etc. I appreciate his and Lori's work! I highly recommend him!

I couldn't be happier with the services provided. He was able to plead my DUAC case down to a reckless driving, and I never had to appear in court. I would recommend Nathan to anyone.

Nathan handled my legal issue two years ago. He was honest and hardworking. I have recently sought his services again to assist my son. Nathan will always be my first choice for legal matters as he truly is the best in his field.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Nathan Sheldon. I truly believe that I am lucky to have found him and would recommend him to anyone without the slightest hesitation. My partner and I first hired Nathan in 2011 to assist us with an adoption. After much searching online, I sent out a round of inquiries via email to some legal firms that handled adoption. Several of these offices called or emailed and offered an appointment. Nathan, however, called me personally. Not only did he take the time to call, but he spent nearly an hour on the phone with me. He asked for details about my situation and then explained how the adoption process typically worked. My partner and I ended up meeting and retaining Nathan for our adoption shortly after. Throughout our entire experience, Nathan and the staff in his office treated us with complete respect. We were kept well informed throughout each step and Nathan was always responsive and followed up when needed. The process of adopting my daughter was a long one, but 6 months after she was born Nathan met us for court and I walked out as a parent, legally. Nathan answered our questions throughout this entire process and made something that could have been very stressful a very smooth and relatively painless process. Nathan was also completely upfront about his fees. They were completely reasonable and there were no surprises - what we were quoted originally is exactly what we were charged. I would happily recommend Nathan to anyone seeking legal services and know that my family will be working with him again in the future.

Mr. Sheldon handled the adoption of my now 7 year old daughter last year. He was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable about all that needed to be taken care of concerning our adoption proceedings. I would highly recommend Mr. Sheldon, without hesitation, for any of your legal needs. He has a true passion for what he does and handles himself with the utmost professionalism.
