The Story

As a little girl, Kristen Shelton used to say she wanted to be a marine biologist and a lawyer. Law ultimately won, shaped by her love of history, language, and problem-solving — and a strong pull to return home and serve the community that raised her. Today, as the attorney behind Your Hometown Attorney, she has built a practice rooted in education, compassion, and clarity. Known as “Your Hometown Attorney,” Kristen focuses on probate, estate planning, and real estate law, guiding clients through important decisions with patience and transparency.

Clients often describe Kristen as thorough, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She operates primarily on flat fees and designs each Informational and Planning Session so people leave understanding their options and what comes next. Kristen’s all-female team shares that same steady approach. In a town where relationships run deep, most new clients come through referrals — a reflection of the trust she works every day to earn.
