About

Based in Fenton, Michigan, Shelton Legal Services provides statewide representation for clients in criminal defense, civil litigation, business law, and general practice. From wills to business contracts to corporate filings to trial and appellate advocacy, Shelton Legal Services represents clients zealousy and effectively with a personal touch.In fact, if you ask attorney Steven Shelton why he entered law school, and he’ll probably tell you this: “When I needed an attorney, nobody wanted to talk to me because I wasn’t rolling in cash, and the same thing was happening to my friends.” Shelton decided to do something about it and enrolled in the nation’s largest law school, Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan, where he attended class full-time while working full-time. Shelton quickly earned a reputation as a force in both the classroom and the courtroom, graduating in the top ten in his class and winning several awards for courtroom advocacy.Now in private practice, Shelton has never forgotten the reason he started law school in the first place and has dedicated his professional life to ensuring that justice is available for everyone, and not just the wealthy. “My goal is to provide top-notch legal assistance to the people who need it most,” he said. “That’s why I work hard to minimize costs for my clients, why I am active in providing pro bono services, and why I jump at the chance to do court-appointed criminal defense work. I don’t live in a big mansion. I don’t drive a big fancy car. I don’t think you’d want to pay for them. The law is there to protect everyone; you shouldn’t have to be a lawyer to afford a lawyer. And if I have my way, you won’t have to.”

During my drivers license restoration process, Mr. Shelton guided me through the whole process. If I would have tried this on my own, I would still be in the beginning steps. I would highly recommend Mr. Shelton to help you through any legal issues.

Dear Steven, Thank you for representing me in court.. You were referred to my wife by her Doctor's Office. I appreciate you for working with her to help me. I will refer you to anyone needing your help. I was pleased with what you did for me in court. I felt more at ease having a lawyer who had great knowledge of the laws that I had no knowledge of. That did put me at ease. If you are reading this and you need a good lawyer call Steven and say you read this. Thank you, Wes

I was in an accident and received a ticket that came with severe penalties. Steve was recommended to me by a relative from this area who is also an attorney but lives in Chicago. I liked Steve's attitude and relaxed personality. He seemed like a "real" person and made me feel comfortable talking about my problem. He listened closely to my explanation and was not judgemental. He explained what was going to happen step by step, even advising me what to do, say and wear. He outlined some probable outcomes from my plea, from the best to the worst, and told me what he thought might happen. In the end the outcome was as good as could possibly be expected, beyond what my friends told me would happen! His fee was very reasonable, but I actually hired him for the outcome and I am sure I hired the best!

Mr. Shelton was assigned to my case as a court appointed attorney. I don't think I could have been more fortunate. Being charged with two counts of felony possession is not a small thing. My experience with other attorneys, has been that they were simple proxies between me and the court, where I ended up providing most of the information, and even arguments, for my case. This was not the case with Mr. Shelton, nor his office staff. They were extremely helpful, communicative, and diligent. Every time I called to check on something, it was already being handled. All I had to do was communicate the facts, and everything else was not only handled, but handled well. The case outcome was the best possible scenario, dismissed on all counts by the prosecution. I can't thank this attorney and his office staff enough. If I ever have legal issues again in Michigan, this attorney is absolutely my new go-to. And also, my first recommendation.

Mr. Shelton represented me on a tax case from the City of Flint. I had no idea what was going on , or why the City was coming after me, but Mr. Shelton and his staff were absolutely amazing. They took care of everything, getting the correct information, and making the City prove their side (which they couldn't). It ended up with my case being dismissed. Mr. Shelton's office genuinely cares about their clients, and does everything they can to show it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney!

My husband and I needed a lawyer for the first time in our lives. We were beside ourselves not knowing where to turn. After calling a few lawyers, Steven was the only one who asked if we would like to sit down together for our free consult. He is very professional yet personable, thorough and passionate about his work. He took the time to listen, answering all our questions and concerns, never feeling rushed. We needed an experienced lawyer that we could trust to fight for us and have our best interest at heart. We chose Steven to be that Lawyer for us and we were not disapointed. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a lawyer, we recommend Steven Shelton.

I have nothing but the best things to say about this lawyer. Steve defended me on an impossible situation, and I was afraid there was going to be nothing he could do to help me. Somehow he managed to get me a really great deal that was too good to pass up which I thought was impossible. I really appreciate his hard work and time spent on my case. I would recommend him to anyone!

I first came to know attorney steven shelton over two years ago. I met him of all places on a radio talk show. Mr. Shelton was defending the rights of citizens who were arrested while walking black in the city of flint michgan. I had and still have a bunch of legal troubles in the terrible county of Tuscola Michigan. I was a school teacher at teh time and my wife and I had never had a traffic ticket much less ever been arrested. Needless to say I started by retaining supposedly one of the best attorneys in michigan and needless to say that ended in disaster. I then hired attorney steve shelton and he fought and successful was able to defeat the Tuscola regime. I simply can not say enough good things about Steven Shelton. He is willing to work for his clients, You can always get ahold of Mr. Shelton he is not stuck up in some ivory tower. I like the fact that he is a real honest sincere person who is willing to helpHe actually came to my home and took pictures of the home to prove that it was in excellent condition and able to have my children there. CPS and the police and the presecution all left me alone after the retention of Mr. Shelton. I continue to this day to keep Mr. Shelton on retainer and would urge you to use him for all your criminal and civil litigation needs as he will make certian that your rights are protected and you are safe and secure. I am very skeptical of people and the system after what happened to myself and my family. I must say that I can count the people I truly trust and like on one hand and Mr. Shelton is one of them! Very rarely do you encounter a person who does their job well and is an excellent person to boot, Steven is that guy.
