William L. Shelton and Richard D. Morr joined their practices in 1967 to form Morr & Shelton Law Firm. They later moved their offices to 205 North Main on the northwest corner of the Chariton square. Michael J. Streit joined the firm in 1975 and was with the firm for seven years before becoming a District Court Judge and later became a Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court.
In 1980, Richard Morr became a District Court Judge and the firm became known as Shelton Law Firm. William (Bill) Shelton served as Lucas County Attorney from 1967 to 1982, and in 1987 relocated his offices to the west side of town on Court Avenue. Over the years, the practice has expanded and contracted. In the mid-1980's, the firm held offices in Indianola and Des Moines in addition to its Chariton office. At one time, the firm had a total of 23 employees, including twelve lawyers—seven in Chariton, two in Indianola, and three in Des Moines.
The Chariton location is the only office currently doing business. Its roster consists of two attorneys including Bill Shelton and Brandon Shelton.
