About Stelio
Biography
I graduated from City University of New York School of Law, in May of 2006. I was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in November of 2006 and the New York Bar in 2007. Since that time, I have handled many complex Family, Civil and Criminal Court matters, including numerous cases which were tried to conclusion, both as bench and jury trials. I have also worked as a Pool Attorney for the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender since 2009, handling child abuse and neglect cases, termination of parental rights cases, post-termination cases and juvenile delinquency cases in Family Court. Over the years I have also developed experience with numerous other areas of law, including wills, contract disputes, discrimination, harassment, negligence and personal injury, consumer fraud, as well as landlord-tennant matters. I have also handled a number of appeals involving domestic violence, evidentiary and custody and support issues.
I currently work as a Senior Staff Attorney, in the Housing and Public benefits Units, at Central Jersey Legal Services.

Great lawyer
I've been working with Stelio for a few years now. He has always been responsive to my requests and open to hearing my ideas. His billing is more than fair. In court I got the sense that the judge had full respect for Stelio as well. Highly recommend.
