Shantel J. Kuntuzos
Shantel received her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School of Los
Angeles, where she was a two-time recipient of the Florine
Carmen Phelps Scholarship. She was sworn in as a member of the
bars of the California and U.S. District Court, Central District, in
2005 and joined the firm in December of that year. She graduated
magna cum laude from Mesa State College with her Bachelor of
Arts. She has a strong background in HR related matters and has
distinguished herself in the firm with her litigation/negotiation
skills, the good common sense of her midwestern background and
the experiential grounding she's acquired over the past couple of
years in her other job, being a proud mother of an active toddler.
Before joining the firm, Ms. Kuntuzos spent 2 years in investment
management with The Capital Group Companies, and 5 years in
human resources with the international forest products company,
Weyerhaeuser. She then clerked for a high-profile Century City
construction law firm, and volunteered her time to the Ventura
County Superior Court’s Self-Help Legal Access Clinic. She is a
member of the Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, and Ventura
County Bar Associations. She is also a member of The Birth Action

supportive birth environments for women and their families.
