Douglas Kent Shelton

I hired Kent to handle my post-divorce retirement action by my ex-wife. It took weeks and sometimes more than a month for him to return phone calls or emails. He was notified of a court date and didn't notify me because he didn't think it would occur. He finally notified me 2 days before the case t...hat was 1000 miles away from me. In my opinion, he was completely steam-rolled by the opposing attorney. In a follow-up action, he charged me a retainer based on going to court. He then got me locked into a bad settlement. It has been 3 months since I contacted him about settling the hours and refunding the balance with no response. I would recommend you find someone else.

I went to Mr Shelton for a criminal matter. A multiple convicted felon was harassing and stalking myself and my family. Another local attorney refused to help me, but Mr Shelton immediately met with me. He is an outstanding listener, very patient and understanding. He clearly explained my options... and what he could do to get protection for my family and myself. Mr Shelton gets my highest recommendation for professionalism and the ability to work with a client. I followed his advice and ultimately, the stalker was prosecuted and jailed.
