I am 83 years old. I need to be confident that my legal documents are up do date. I met with Kent Shelton and am extremely pleased with the Estate Plan Kent prepared for me. I recommend him highly. John North

Hired Attorney (Mr.) Douglas Kent Shelton

Hiring this lawyer was a huge mistake! Mr. Shelton severely lacked basic communication skills. He seemed to have very little concern for my case and did the bare minimum when it came to representing me. But why would he when receiving all that money up front. Mr. Shelton even held onto information for over a year that could have greatly helped my case until the day before court, which required him to at least submit it 10 days before court. I would never recommend his services to anyone. I would have done better hiring my teenager, at least they would have known how to argue!
