This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Super reliable, loyal and professional!

Jack really pulled through for me in several contracts he helped me suss out and nonetheless in a very timely manner. His work has consistently been thorough, seamless and very impressive.

Best litigator in town

I own a company that used Jack for a somewhat complex litigation. He's super responsive, extremely detailed, and one heck of a litigator. Jack and I have grown to be good friends and I consider him to be a top notch attorney for anything you may need.

John "Jack" Kent Shelton Review

Jack Shelton has exceptional contract law abilities and he is also very well-versed in state and federal labor laws. One of the things I like about Jack is that he never tried to sugar coat anything for me. If we were headed for trouble, he would let me know what the trouble was and what our options ...were. I always appreciate his honesty.

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.
