New Associate Attorney Focuses on Business Law

Shelton Legal Services is proud to welcome attorney Cheryl Landrum to our staff as new Associate Attorney. Ms. Landrum is a 2006 graduate of Thomas M. Cooley Law School, where she studied real property and international law. She has been licensed as an attorney for ten years. During that time she has assisted clients with organizing and restructuring businesses (including large corporation restructuring/refinancing), estate planning and probate law, buying/selling/renting property, and representing clients in civil litigation.

Prior to becoming an attorney, she spent several years working as a Title Examiner, and is currently licensed in the State of Michigan as a Land Title Insurance Agent. She is also an adjunct faculty member at Baker College, where she teaches business law.

Managing Attorney Steven Shelton expressed excitement. "I have known Cheryl since law school, and she is a fantastic attorney," he said. "With her skills, we can now offer first-rate services in new areas of law, especially real property, business organization, and even international law. And, of course, we will continue to offer the high level of representation we have always offered our clients in criminal defense, civil litigation, and appeals."

Local Attorney Recognized as a “Super Lawyer”

Annual List Names Top 5% of Lawyers in Michigan

For the second year in a row, Fenton attorney Steven Shelton has been named as one of the top lawyers in the state of Michigan by Super Lawyers, an annual publication from Thomson Reuters. Shelton, who is the managing attorney at Shelton Legal Services, PLLC in Fenton, was named a “Rising Star” by the publication for the two prior years.

To be included in the list of “Super Lawyers”, an attorney must be nominated by other attorneys and is evaluated on the basis of professional achievement and reputation in the following areas: verdicts and settlements; transactions; representative clients; experience; honors and awards; special licenses and certifications; position within law firm; bar and or other professional activity; pro bono and community service as a lawyer; scholarly lectures and writings; education and employment background; and other outstanding achievements. Less than 5% of attorneys in the state are included in the “Super Lawyers” list.

“It is very humbling to be honored by my colleagues,” Shelton said. “I work hard for my clients, and they are always first and foremost in my mind, but it is nice to know that my efforts are also recognized by people other than those I represent.”

Shelton primarily practices criminal defense, but also practices several other areas of law. Shelton and his firm represent clients throughout the state of Michigan.
