About Shantelle
Biography
I am attorney and co-director of Open Legal Services, a nonprofit law firm. I finished law school with the intention of helping people like me; people of modest means and without a lot of options for legal representation. I am passionate about serving those who really have no other options: those in the middle, who are working hard but can be easily crippled by a legal setback. When no such job existed, I started OLS, Utah's first and only nonprofit modest means law firm, with Daniel Spencer in the hopes of serving that group and also building a life for myself and my family. So far, it's working! It's sustainable, growing rapidly, and helping so many people. Plus, it's shaking things up and that is something I always try to do.

An Amazing Attorney
Shantelle is an amazing attorney. When my ex threatened to reduce my custodial rights to almost nothing, Shantelle fought for me in court. The result? A fair division of custody and parent time that benefits both myself and my children. If you want an attorney who cares, and will go to bat for you, h...
