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

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.

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.

California resident with moving violation New York

Lee Shelton, Shelton Law Firm, represented me concerning a moving violation in Harrison Town, NY. I am a California resident and felt it was prudent to be represented by a local lawyer. I could not have chosen a more professional, knowledgeable and down to earth lawyer to represent me. During this... process Mr. Shelton kept me informed with current updates. He appeared in court today on my behalf and successfully got one of the two tickets dismissed and the other violation downgraded to a parking ticket resulting in no blemish on my driving record. Excellent job! Thank you.

Excellent Work

I was facing suspension of my driving privilege with two tickets that I had. I found Lee through an online search and hiring him as the attorney to represent me was the best decision I made. I had quite a few points on my driving record going into my court appearance and Lee was able to get the t...ickets reduced to parking tickets with no points against my license. The judge did require that I pay the maximum fine for these reduced tickets however I think this was a fair outcome as in reality I was facing a far more stressful situation with the potential suspension of my license and Lee was able to make a stressful situation far less stressful. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you - I would strongly recommend
