Will NeVer Hire

He jumps to conclusions and talks about scenarios that will not apply to a given case. I would never consult with him ever again.

Replied last March 30, 2026

When I saw and ultimately read this anonymous two (2) star review, I was compelled to respond to this nonsense as my reading does not indicate whether or not this was a simple consultation or if our office actually represented this person. We are a small boutique style of firm that rarely handles more than ten or 12 open files at any given time. There is a reason for that as we pick and choose our cases carefully, we are fairly priced but not inexpensive and once we accept a case, we work on that matter tirelessly. In the last four months we have settled or litigated to conclusion only four cases. Each of those cases resulted in excellent outcomes for our client. I would urge any reader of this comment to understand that anytime someone is unwilling to put their name on a comment, it is usually less than truthful. That is certainly the case in this instance. I would place the caliber and content of the legal work that comes out of this office up against any other law firm in the South Florida area and any consultation that I offer, in person or telephonic, is accurate, unrushed and free of charge. With the content of this reply in mind, I would urge any reader to pay Mr. Anonymous no heed whatsoever as that is exactly what he/she deserves. C. Craig Stella, Esquire

TOP NOTCH--AS GOOD AS THEY GET!

Where to even begin.... If this doesn't say enough, I don't know what will: I'm suffering from an incurable, blinding eye disease known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. Gradually losing vision, however, my case seems to be progressing at a very aggressive speed. In 2012, I couldn't take all the discriminati...on anymore. My whole family has been suffering, not just me. More importantly, my eye disease became some sort of crime and was the reason I was getting fired, I hired, rejected from health insurance, etc. I had a company. Trying to sue me for not disclosing the extent of what "RP is." This man, not only bent over backwards to make sure I receive justice, he was extremely sympathetic but Agressive at the same time. This is exactly what I wanted. He does not sugar coat anything and will prepare you for the worst possible outcome so there are never any surprises. If you listen to him in court, you never hear a stutter or an ,"um" as if he is trying to think of what to say next... NEVER. He is very confident because of all the knowledge and experience he has. If I knew 25% of what he knew, let's be honest, I'd be pretty confident too! No BS, right to the point, isn't looking to screw anyone, and honestly, if it weren't for C. Craig Stella, I have NO idea where I'd be. Probably homeless and suicidal.. Maybe even dead. Thank you are words that are far from what this man deserves. Couple years later, I'm still trying to come up with the appropriate way of thanking this amazing, 34+ experienced attorney and I'm still not sure how else to thank this man. What I do know, is the words and flowers to him are not enough! Ha ha. Yes, he specializes in all criminal cases and it's laud out pretty evenly between this, DUI, as well as federal cases but I do know he also specializes in divorce law. Just a gem but a feisty one! But that's what we want when hiring an attorney? At least I knew I did and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. :)
