Beyond Grateful-Exceptional Attorney

When I first reached out to Lee, I was completely overwhelmed with anxiety. I had received a ticket for an unsafe lane change that carried points on my license, a $250 fine, and the threat of my insurance rates spiking. The anxiety I felt was indescribable — I truly did not know how any of it was goi...ng to play out. Hiring an attorney was a decision I made out of necessity, but choosing Lee turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. From the very first interaction, Lee made me feel confident, heard and at ease. He communicated with me every step of the way, responded quickly, and made sure I never felt left in the dark. In a situation that had been consuming me with constant worry, he brought me a sense of calm I did not expect to feel. You could feel and know how much he genuinely cared — not just about fighting the case, but about me as a person. The results he delivered were beyond anything I could have hoped for. No points on my license. No spike in my insurance rates. The fine reduced a great amount, and that the violation will not appear on my record at all. When I read that email, I dropped to the floor. The weight that lifted off my shoulders in that moment , after how much it consumed me is something I will never be able to fully put into words. Lee is, without a question and doubt, the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of working with. He is efficient, compassionate, communicative, and absolutely exceptional at the work he does. If you are looking for someone to truly fight for you, who never stops caring, and delivers the real results you want but never thought could happen, choosing Lee is something you will not regret. You are in the best hands with him, and I am so incredibly grateful he represented me, fought for me, and I will never forget what he did.

Great job

I highly recommend this lawyer. I was facing two traffic tickets that could have resulted in points on my driving record and affected my driver’s license. Thanks to his excellent work, he was able to have both tickets reduced to violations that do not carry points and will not appear on my driving re...cord. This outcome was extremely important to me because my job depends heavily on maintaining a clean driving record. He was professional, knowledgeable, and achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. I was specifically referred to him, and now I understand why. I am very grateful for his help and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Such a peace of mind! Hire him already!

Such an amazing lawyer! The process was quick and easy to get started with Mr. Shelton to fight against my conviction notice. He was able to resolve the issue with no points or fees being added beyond the cost of the safety driving course, which was necessary to dismiss the case. I would highly recom...mend him in a heartbeat!

Best attorney for traffic court

I highly recommend Lee Shelton and The Shelton Law Firm for anyone dealing with traffic violations in New York. I was originally charged with speeding 85 mph in a 55 mph zone, which carried serious consequences including 6 points on my license, significant fines and assessments, possible insurance... increases, and risk to my driving privileges. Mr. Shelton was able to negotiate an outstanding outcome — the ticket was reduced to a parking violation with no points, no impact on my driving record, no insurance consequences, and no DMV assessment. Throughout the process, he was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. He clearly explained the potential consequences, handled everything efficiently, and ultimately achieved a result far better than I expected. If you need an experienced traffic attorney who knows how to navigate the courts and genuinely works to protect his clients, I would absolutely recommend Lee Shelton without hesitation.
