Out of State

I am so pleased with the services of Mr. Shelton! First, I've never gotten such a quick response from an attorney, he answered my call immediately and responded to my messages and emails promptly. My case was 9 years old-3 traffic tickets that needed to be paid and suspensions lifted in order for m...e to get my license back. I now live in ather state and was not able to appear in court. Mr. Shelton explained the procedure, was patient with me and when I was ready to proceed he wasted no time to clear the situation. He was able to get my suspensions lifted and got 2 of the tickets dismissed. He saved me time, money and stress. I am very happy I chose him to represent me.

Dismissed

It would have been too expensive for me to just plead guilty. I was facing monetary penalties easily upwards of double Lee's modest retainer fee resulting from SMP speeding ticket. Two phone calls, an on-line payment to Shelton Law Firm, and three months later, the ticket was dismissed.

Excellent work

I received a ticket while in New York on business. I contacted some attorneys in the area. Lee responded quickly and explained the situation to me clearly and concisely and let me know what my options were. His fee was very reasonable. Lee helped prepare the paperwork that allowed him to represent me... in absentia so that I would not have to go back to New York for the hearing. Most importantly, Lee achieved a favorable outcome in my case resulting in a reduced fine and no points on my driving record.

Best lawyer in the world

I contacted Mr Shelton to represent me over 2 major traffic tickets. I was very upset because the traffic tickets were bogus and written by 2 dirty cops that were either corrupt or incompetent. My license was suspended because of them. Once I hired Mr Shelton he just knew what to do he was able to ap...pear in court for me that very day and was able to have my suspensions terminated. I was also able to fax him a letter of my consent authorizing him to appear on my behalf without the need for me to be be there present. I was able to email him copies of the traffic violations and pay his fee online which was very reasonable especially for a great Attorney. When he finally did appear in court for me he contacted me I was facing a drivers license suspension around $800 in fines and court surcharge plus over $300 to the dmv for what is called a drivers responsibility assessment ( any body with over 6 point in there license has to automatically pay a assessment to the dmv every year it $300 a year for 6 points plus a extra $75 for each additional point ) when Mr Shelton finally did go to court for my hearing about 2 month latter he asked me if I wanted to fight the tickets completely but we choose instead to plea bargain and having 1 of the moving violations dismiss the other moving violation he was able to plebargin it down to a parking ticket for $80 in total. If I would have lost I would of had to pay $800 + $300 to the dmv and I would of had at least six point on my license plus my car insurance would of went up and my license also would of been suspended. So at the end of the day all I had to pay was a $80 parking ticket with no points. In my was Mr Shelton was more than a good lawyer and more like a Miracle worker he also gave me his personal cell number and I was able to reach him my phone or email 24/7 he also informed me that I could get old points reduced by taking a drivers course online which was very easy to do so now my drive ring record is 100% clean thanks to him I’m very grateful

Best, most reliable lawyer ever

I had a ticket for being almost 40 miles over speed limit. Lee never gave up, actually encouraged me to keep fighting and worked the system to reduce an 8 point ticket over 600 bucks and $450 additional fees to a total of just above $200. Hugely helpful, worth every buck and I would and will hire him... again if I ever need such support.

  • 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.
