Calistratos Spiros Stafilatos

Cal is indeed a shark at what he does . But he never answers his phone or really returns calls. It’s the most stressful thing ever to be facing criminal charges and you can’t get in touch with your attorney. No matter how many text , calls and emails are sent. Missed one of my hearings that I was the...re for and he did not show up. His assistant is amazing tho. He has great knowledge and experience but needs to work on communication with his paying clients.

Cal was involved from the moment his services were requested. He was thorough in explaining the legal process to his client and family. Promptly answered any text, emails, and quick to set up zoom meetings. Excellent results regarding the outcome of the case. Cal's thorough working knowledge of t...he legal system and established professional relationships with other members of the legal system are valued assets that will earn his clients positive results!!

This lawyer talked a very convincing game when I met him, (and paid him). Then it was weeks, before I could get a hold of him to discuss my case. He wouldn't return calls to his office or cell phone. He only answered me when I told him I had a new case or more money for him. He made MANY promises to ...meet with me at the detention center to discuss my case. MONTHS pass by, no word. No returned calls. Didn't see him until the day of court. He then told me he worked out a deal with the plaintiff in my case. I needed to rush him restitution money that day for this deal. He told me he met with plaintiff months prior. My case was put on a stet docket pending verification of this deal. Well, my case we reopened and retried because the lawyer NEVER TALKED TO THE PLAINTIFF. Once again no updates of the retrial or any word at all from the lawyer... Months pass by and the day of my retrial, he doesn't show. He sent another lawyer on his behalf that had no history or knowledge of my case, at all. I guess Mr. Stafilatos didn't want to face me or the JUDGE he lied to. Oh, here's the best part. Since the "deal" he made was make believe, I wanted my money back. It took me FOUR MONTHS to get my money back from him and it was short $20.00. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer for a speeding ticket. He's a crook and plain horrible lawyer. $3000 can't even buy you a phone call or status update with this lawyer. Call ANYONE else, please.

I was charged with 6 criminal offenses, all included fines and possible jail time. I was nervous, never been in any situations like this. I called on a close friend in need, he immediately told me to relax, and forwarded Cal information. I hesitated, ashamed and worried. How can I afford a lawyer. ...I eventually contacted Cal. He met with me immediately on the weekend, his off day, he stopped what he was doing and opened up shop. We talked and immediately I felt comfortable. He explained the positive and negative sides about my case. Cal explained the lawyer and client expectations. Cal was knowledgeable in all areas. My case was outside our county but he was known in that specific county of charges and was ready and prepared. I was worry about the funding, but Cal will work with you, he will not penalize you for missing a payment or not represent you because you owe $1. Cal is professional, knowledgeable, prepared, he tells you the truth. Cal will keep you up to date every step of the way. If you call and he doesn't answer, text or email he will get back to you. To say all that, ALL 6 CHARGES WERE DROPPED. Tears came down my cheeks in that court room. As they communicated in the court room my nerves were high, it sounded like another language. After we were finished, I asked "what next?" He informed me of the GREAT news... Any legal issues call Cal!!!
