Can't recommend enough!

Was 23 over, 6 points. Looking at a total of 696$ fine. Mr. Shelton was able to bring this down to a 240$ fine. Further, the speed was brought to 64mph in a 55mph zone instead of 78mph in a 55mph zone. Keep in mind he was able to attend court for me in a very short notice, 3 days prior to my cour...t date is when I contacted Lee. Thanks!

Feedback

I had three tickets ( yes, I am not a criminal) with 10 points and $1400 fines plus driver responsibility assessment. Lee was able to get one ticket dismissed and the other two to parking violations, with NO POINTS and reduce3ed amount from $1400 to $450 !!! And he is very responsive to my emails/cal...ls and so pleasant to work with. I can't be grateful enough for his help on this! I felt so fortunate that I chose him to represent me! THNAK YOU!

Above and beyond

I contacted Lee Shelton less than 24 hours before a hearing for a 6 point speed violation, and did everything I could ask for and more. Not only was he extremely responsive and engaged with the matter despite the short notice, he was able to work my ticket down to a 3 point non-speed. This saved my l...icense from a 6 month revocation due to prior speed violations on my record, not to mention the $700 savings in fines and DMV fees that would have accompanied this. Lee was honest, realistic, informative and gave me a super reasonable price for his service, especially considering the fact I had contacted him the day before my hearing. A+ performance in every way.

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!

An Attorney For You

I hired Mr. Shelton to represent and appear for me in Traffic Court. Best decision I ever made. Speeding ticket. I was facing a high number of points, heavy fine and higher car insurance for years to come. Mr. Shelton resolved my situation with a reasonable fine. He is conscientious, caring, pleasant..., honest and darn good. On top of all that, he charges a reasonable cost and does what he says he will do.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
