About Lynne D
Lynne D Shelton has built a professional life that crosses courtroom advocacy and dispute resolution. She is licensed to practice in Texas and has a certification that ties her work to Florida's court system: she is a Certified County Mediator certified by the Supreme Court of Florida. That combination of credentials frames a practice that sits at the meeting point of trial work and mediation.
Her career includes leadership roles in a national professional organization. Between 2005 and 2009 she served as Secretary and President of National Trial Advocacy. Those posts placed her in a position to shape programming and governance for trial lawyers and to oversee operations of the organization during a period of activity and change. The roles suggest a background in courtroom procedure, training, and the practical concerns of trial work.
Shelton’s mediation certification indicates formal training and authorization to preside over county-level mediations in Florida, though her professional jurisdiction is Texas. Earning that credential required meeting the standards established by the Florida Supreme Court for county mediators, a process that emphasizes neutral facilitation of settlements in civil and family matters at the local level. Through that lens, she brings to disputes an understanding of both adjudicative and consensual resolution paths.
Outside the organizational leadership noted above, available information does not list specific law firm offices or public offices. Her public profile emphasizes roles in professional education and governance rather than courtroom headlines. She has worked in contexts where trial advocacy and mediation intersect, advising clients and coordinating procedural strategy, and participating in efforts to train and support other lawyers.
Peers and colleagues who worked alongside her during her tenure at National Trial Advocacy recall an attention to process and procedure. She managed meetings, set agendas and helped steer educational offerings. Those tasks are straightforward work, but they matter in an organization that serves lawyers who try cases and teach trial skills.
She currently practices in Texas, concentrating on trial advocacy and mediation work in both litigation and alternative dispute resolution settings.
