Great lawyer to handle traffic violations!

My son, a new driver, got into an accident (only damaging his car alone) but was slapped with fines and high points on i84. Mr shelton charged a reasonable price and handled the entire case settling prior to the court date for a parking ticket violation and fine. (No points on his record, no ride o...f insurance premiums etc) Had we handled this ourselves it would have cost me a day from work and would not have been able to negotiate as favorable terms. Mr shelton kept me informed throughout the process. I highly recommend him

The best of the best

Mr. Shelton is the crem’e de le crem’e of attorneys. He got my speeding ticket downgraded to a fine without points, and it will not even show up on my driving record. Professional, very thorough, and knowledgeable of the law. He was able to assist with consultation even on a Sunday. He called me rig...ht away, and instructed me to the very tee of what I had to do, and I’m very grateful thank you, and God bless you Lee.

I could not have asked for a better outcome

Lee Shelton was responsive, candid, and exceeded my expectations. I had a really tough case and Lee came away with a terrific outcome (speeding infraction, facing license revocation, reduced to parking ticket). I found it an excellent experience overall, and money well spent (over $500 saved). I woul...d not hesitate to recommend Lee to others.

Trustworthy and courteous

I contacted the Shelton Law firm to represent me in court for a speeding ticket I received. From the first time I spoke with Mr. Shelton to the resolution of the case, he was professional, knowledgeable, informative, courteous and most importantly, he did what he said he could do for me. Although the...re are no guarantees with how a case will go, speaking with Mr. Shelton was very reassuring. He kept in contact with me at every step in the process. He actually called me shortly after the case was over to let me know the results and my next steps. He also prompt sent a very detailed email with everything he had explained in writing. Not every attorney treats clients like this - I had an experience years ago in which the attorney didn't even show up to the court date. I was lucky to find Mr. Shelton and I highly recommend him. From the first conversation with him, I had a good impression which only got better with every interaction with him. He took a stressful situation and made it much easier for me as well as allowing me not to have to take off work for court. Thank you, Mr. Lee Shelton.

Honest, Ethical, and Realistic Lawyer

I have never used Avvo before let alone had the need to hire a lawyer, but I was in a jam and felt I had no choice. I received two tickets a Moved from Lane Unsafely & speeding over 55. I am a college student with not a lot of money and to make matters worse I attend school out of state. I kept putti...ng off my court date asking for extensions, Finally the court denied it and told me that they would suspend my license. I frantically looked online and after doing some research I found Mr. Lee Shelton, I called him and spoke over the phone with him. I was very frantic and very emotional as I did not want my license suspended. He was very calm and level headed, listened to everything I said and then was able to respond with all of the right answers. He reassured me that he would do everything he could to assist me, but he was realistic about it as well so I appreciated him not giving me false hope. His fee was very reasonable as with those two tickets I was facing possible penalties for these tickets of 9 points on my New York driving record, $636 in fines, a $525 driver responsibility assessment fee. which is a big chunk of change for a college student, so I hired him and he went to court for me, he called moments after he left court and informed me that he was able to have both tickets turned into parking violations and those tickets have NO POINTS, and will not appear on my driving record and will not affect my insurance premiums. I am very grateful for his calm level-headed approach and his honesty. If you want an honest, ethical, and realistic lawyer he is the man for you. I would gladly recommend him to any friend or family member that need an amazing Lawyer in New York!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
