Jonathan Shultz was the fourth and final addition to the growing family of Alfred V. and Velma J. Shultz during the “Summer of Love” in August 1967. Growing up in Topeka, Kansas, during the 1970s and 1980s, Jonathan learned a lot from his older siblings, his parents, and of course the teachers he had in school.

As an avid student, Mr. Shultz realized early on that reading and writing were two areas in which he excelled throughout his scholastic endeavors. He attributes these skills to the early influences of his older siblings – evidenced by the fact that, on Day 1 of his Kindergarten class, he was the only child who already knew the alphabet and could count from 1 to 100.

Although academically gifted, Jonathan was sometimes challenged in deciding what direction he wanted to take in life. When he learned that he was about to become a father for the first time, Jonathan decided first to pursue a Paralegal Certification, and then complete his undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado at Denver, where he procured his Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Administration, with an emphasis in Management, in the year 2000. From there, Mr. Shultz continued to work as a paralegal even while embarking on his legal education at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, earning his juris doctor degree in 2006.

After representing bankruptcy clients for 13 years (11 years at his solo practice in Denver), Mr. Shultz ultimately left the bankruptcy business behind. Mr. Shultz was happy to find a new home at the law firm of Patricia Jo Stone, P.C., where he primarily enjoys working with probate and family law clients He has continued to offer clients the same high level of passionate, personal representation that they want and need. This past experience and learning from Jo Stone’s guidance and mentoring have helped Mr. Shultz become an even better attorney for his clients.
