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.

Probably a genius in his field!

A little background on the situation. I was charged with speeding 58 mph in a 35 mph zone. The penalties for this ticket include 6 points on your NY driving record, a $393 fine, a $300 driver responsibility assessment, and a possible increase in your insurance premiums. He was able to get the ...ticket reduced to a non-speeding violation. This ticket reduces the points from 6 points to 2 points. This ticket also avoids the $300 New York driver responsibility assessment and lastly, it is a non-speeding violation which means that this ticket cannot be used to revoke my New York driving privileges for 3 speeding tickets in any 18 month period. Finally I have to paid only a $240 fine. 2 points none speeding ticket and $240 fine instead of 6 points speeding ticket and $693 fine, I could not be more happy! Did I tell you that his fees are very reasonnable too!

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

New York traffic tickets

I had no prior information or references but simply found Lee using google. He was completely professional, transparent, and honest from the start. Lee was able to get my 3 New York state driving tickets reduced down to non-moving violations, resulting in no points. I could not be more pleased wit...h the outcome - or his services. He is worth every penny.
