The BEST lawyer in town!!

Shantelle Argyle at Open Legal Services is a life saver!! I was referred to her by the court clerk because I was in desperate need of legal help for my 16 year old son's custody battle. I was working the case on my own because we just simply could not afford regular attorney rates or the retainer t...o hire one, and we made too much money to be able to qualify for any pro bono help. I was stressed out beyond belief and help was no where to be found! Then Shantelle swooped in and saved the day! She's an amazing attorney who is in it to actually help people and not just to make a ton of money. She also treats her clients with enormous respect and like normal human beings and not just people that are "beneath" her because of them not being attorneys themselves. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! She's absolutely amazing, I just can't say that enough! She will definitely be the first person we go to in the future if any need for an attorney arises.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
