Who we are
Shelton General Counsel was founded by long time trial lawyer Susan Shelton in response to the needs of her litigation clients. She discovered that many small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs are overwhelmed by legal, financial and operational matters that interfere with developing and marketing their products and services. They need a trusted adviser — and not a traditional high priced law firm — who will help them problem solve on an ongoing, manageable, affordable, consistent basis.
Shelton General Counsel was created to be an extension of your management team, but with an independent voice so you will always get a straight answer.
We are fair, honest, affordable, prompt, and experienced.
Susan Shelton is a talented business lawyer and adviser backed by decades of jury trial work in both civil and criminal courts.
She is a former felony chief prosecutor.
She worked in-house as general counsel and human resources manager for an international media company.
She has advised individuals and small business owners on matters of all types and size.
Her deep knowledge and expertise in litigation allows her to avoid drafting pitfalls, gives her negotiating advantage, and keeps her from wasting time and money solving unexpected problems.
Shelton General Counsel is prepared to help you thrive economically while reducing the risks of engaging in commerce and employing workers.
Through our relationships with a variety of experienced professionals in carefully-selected specialties, Shelton General Counsel can manage your legal and operational difficulties fairly, affordably and responsibly.

Special consideration is given to self-employed persons trying to establish a small business or to expand and improve an existing enterprise.
