Calistratos Stafilatos

Dear “Anonymous”, Assuming you were a legitimate client of my office, I can appreciate your review as it helps to have constructive criticism to ensure my office is doing its job well. Nevertheless, we take every client’s concern seriously and work hard to ensure that when issues do arise, we do everything we can to make things right. I can assure you that every client that steps into my place of business is given equal respect and attention, characteristics that are so essential to operating a successful practice. At my firm we have genuine care and concern for all of our clients, their well-being and most importantly the preservation and advocation of their rights. It is unfortunate that you did not bring any of your questions or concerns to my attention during our representation of you. On its face, I do not agree with your review, but I also cannot address the merits of your complaint on this site. As an attorney, the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct forbid me from disclosing the confidential and privileged information required to provide a fair and accurate response. I would be pleased to discuss this with you further, but I cannot compromise your privacy by doing so in a public forum. My contact information is readily available and I will await your communication. Further, it is demonstrably difficult for me to address any of your issues since I am left to speculate the time period your criminal matter was adjudicated, your anonymous identity, and what specific case my firm handled for you. Additionally, my office has not undertaken any new legal matters in over two years and I am curious as to why it took you so long to bring any of this to our attention. Without more context in this review, coupled with speculative and incomplete facts, I would caution anyone reading this review to give it the weight and credibility it deserves. By your own words, it is also clear from your review that you were happy with the result of your legal matter, that we possess vast experience and superior knowledge of the subject matter. You exhibited confidence in retaining my firm before, continued with our representation despite your concerns and suggested recommendations for our firm. I hope we can continue our business relationship should you ever have the need to retain a top-notch law office again. Either way, I am happy we were able to help you achieve a successful result in your case. I would also like to thank you for the “Shark”characterization. If by Shark, you mean that my office aggressively pursues our clients best interests, secures their freedom, and routinely achieves impactful results then I will gladly accept that. As you can see, a large portion of my reviews here are 5-Star ratings, overwhelmingly positive and my clients were more than happy with our representation and communication. We have been in the legal business in Maryland for almost 20 years and in that time we have reliably and successfully served thousands of residents and their families with their legal issues to their satisfaction. We are proud of our record and our position as an industry leader in quality legal representation.
