Stephen Colafella is in it to win it

Stephen Colafella is a truly exceptional lawyer who cares about his clients. Stephen has made a lasting positive influence in our lives. He has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended all of our cases with extreme determination. Excellent in both professionalism and experience. Calm and strategi...c even when things got emotional. Made the entire process smooth. Gave us a peace of mind. By far the best lawyer we have ever worked with. He will always be the only lawyer we ever work with. Stephen has delivered 3 “NOT GUILTY “ verdicts for my family. Which is a tiny drop in the bucket for his years of success. If you want to win hire him!!!

A lawyer can be a good friend

Stephen never gave up on me when the whole world turned there back on me I considered him a friend as I'm sure he feels the same way about me.for me it was more then business it was comfort and that's hard to prescribe to a person while they are littery going through hell but he did and I would never... choose anyone over this man thank you Steve

Steve was my voice

I unfortunately found myself in a complicated situation with a plethora of charges, excessive bond, and deceptive police report. My family reached out to Steve to help me through a difficult legal process. After several hearings and processes, that Steve helped facilitate, my case ultimately went to ...a jury trail. Prior to and at the trial, Steve went above and beyond to be my voice and defend me. He meticulously navigated through the Trial and I was acquitted of all of my charges. I was against unlawful charges and complex situation that was rather impactful on my life. I needed the best lawyer around to defend me, Steve is just that.

Flawless

From start to finish we could not have asked for more from Steve. Never once did we have to question his commitment to our case and his skills as an attorney are unmatched.
