I hired cal on 01/03/2020. I was excited because he said all the right things and had great reviews. As soon as I paid tge retainer however things changed. He gave me timelines on when things would be filed to start the process..none of which were honored. After weeks of unresponsiveness I began to realize that I clearly did not matter to him and requested a refund since no motions were filed and no real work was done. A month later i still have yet to receive a refund or hear any status about it, i call the office frequently to inquire about it but continuously get the run around. Going through a divorce is a very emotional and expensive process and having someone holding on to thousands of your dollar.. adds more unnecessary stress to the already difficult situation. If my experience is any indication of the kind of lawyer he is then i would recommend you stay far away from this firm.

I have used him twice in my lifetime ....he is amazing . He will definitely put in 100% for his client .he is a good person but his dedication definitely out weighs everything. I recommend him 1000 times !!!!

Mr. Stafilatos was very passionate about winning my case. He informed me of what he thought eould be best for me win or lose. He got both cases dismissed and I was pleased with that.

Cal is a beast. Kept my indictment down and resolved my case in a great way.

Excellent Counsel!!

Cal is an excellent attorney. He answers questions and explains the process. Once I understood the process, I felt comfortable in letting him do what he does best. Listen and trust in his ability, you'll be glad you did!!! If you want a good attorney call him!!!

One of the best all around Attorney's in Maryland, if not the best. Cal, is a great person and Attorney. I've known and use Cal, for over 15 year's and he's always delivered great service and legal advice. If you need a great Attorney Cal's the best in "MARYLAND" AND AFAR. Thanks for always being there for me, my family, and friends Cal.

Cal the man he did good on my case give me what I want

Great lawyer worth every dollar

I have hired Cal as my Lawyer, business resident agent and also legal advisor. I met Cal 7 years ago during my early adulthood. Each and every small traffic case that I've had has always been handled professionally , and in a expedited manner. Cal is very upfront, honest and reasonable with cost. I have referred him to serval others while still utilizing his legal services for my electrical business. I see him at least once a year for a suspended license LOL (inside joke). Knock on wood it hasn't been anything critical , I would tell you this if you choose his legal service pay the price and relax after that. He will give you the worse case but also the best case and 9.9 0f 10 you will end in the best outcome! I couldn't ask for a better friend, or legal advisor. I will continue to pay him every year! -Tyrone Crossland

Cal was very professional and detail oriented. He left no options unturned. Very happy with the whole experience. If you need a lawyer, call Cal. He will get you results.

Cal is the best. I highly recommend this attorney!

Cal is a great lawyer and a highly skilled tactician in the courtroom. I’ve known him for about a year now and he’s my GoTo for any legal issues. I totally recommend.

We have used Cal S. Several times over the years and he is no doubt the best ! I would recommend Cal to anyone that wants great results in court !! He is very truthful and honest the whole step of the way ,he explains things to you to where you understand them and he’s not only a great lawyer but he is also a great down to earth person person . And he doesn’t talk to you like you’re a paycheck , he speaks to you like a caring person and makes you feel comfortable the whole way through !

My experience with Cal was nothing less than excellent, as he is caring, innovative and brilliant at
his craft. I had never needed a lawyer in this capacity before so the whole process was new to me and my family. When we did have questions, his responses were always very satisfying and thorough.

Our situation was an extremely complicated case that other lawyers may have steered away from, but Cal embraced the challenge.

His firm successfully navigated through every roadblock that came up in the case. The result was even better than we had ever let ourselves hope for! I would recommend him highly. If you need a top lawyer in Maryland, this is THE choice!!!

I randomly saw an ad
for AVVO’s website and looked up the lawyer I used in the past. Most of the reviews posted on here are pretty spot on. He’s the person for your litigation needs.

I usually don't respond to these things, however I felt compelled to do so on this occasion. Cal was not only professional but he genuinely had concerns for my matter and it showed. In my experiences with him, he can be pretty blunt and upfront, which may not be what you’re looking for. Personally, I would rather my lawyer tell me the truth then tell me what I want to hear.

My understanding is that Cal has multiple office locations and practices in the Washington DC/Baltimore regions. So I know he is busy and is sometimes tough to get on the phone. However, during our initial consultation, he admittedly disclosed that he is a very busy litigation attorney and that in case of an immediate emergency or if I ever was in need to contact him directly via email. I am a professional e-mailer and let me tell you, he promptly responded to every single one I sent.

I hired Cal for his business experience and formulation of my company. He handled my civil matter with great care and diligence. I would not hesitate or have any reservations using his services again and I would highly recommend Cal and his staff for anyone’s legal issues.

Not long ago our father was taken away from us by a horrific tragedy. We were referred to Cal through a family member that used his services in the past. After a lengthy battle with the insurance company, it seemed all hope was lost. But Cal calmed our anxiety and frustrations and helped guide us through the process through every step of the way.

Ultimately, the insurance company rightfully resolved the matter in our favor. Although we will never be able to get our father back, we were able to financially set our family up for a very long time to come and we have Cal and his team to thank for his hard work and dedication.

Cal Stafilatos, the absolute Best accident lawyer in Maryland, represented me in a severe motorcycle accident in which I was seriously injured. He is a knowledgeable, experienced and successful attorney.

More importantly, he is a compassionate, honest human being, which is essential when it feels as though your life is falling apart. I highly recommend him and his firm. My case turned out far better than I had imagined. If you need an attorney in Annapolis or the Maryland region, this is the injury firm for you.

I hired Mr Cal when I was dealing with a pretty tough issue. He won my case and he is awesome to work with! I highly recommend Mr Cal to anyone!!!

Cal is a fighter and a highly skilled tactician in the courtroom.

I was going through a horrible divorce with my husband at the time and he retained a “high-priced” attorney to challenge me on child custody. I was soo scared and didn’t know what to do, so my co-worker suggested that I....”Better_Call_Cal.”

I scheduled an appointment and because I had somewhat limited funds, I was concerned that I would not be able to afford his services. Especially with zero financial help from family and friends. Cal not only worked with me on a financial payment plan for my case but he was even able to convince my husbands attorney that our initial separation agreement was the only right and just resolution. I was completely satisfied with the results and equally impressed with his litigation skills.

Wonderful person and Attorney!!!!!

I have had the privileged of having Cal as the attorney in my family law case for over 3 years. Prior to seeing Cal, I sought out legal counsel with 3 other attorney’s in the Washington DC region only to have spent thousands of dollars for an enormous emotional battle.

I will never need to use another attorney again, Cal is trustworthy, honest and a good family man. Truly one of a kind. I also would like to comment on his office staff. Throughout this long battle since 2017 I have never encountered an attorney or staff who are like Cal’s. They are profesisinal and I’m so grateful to have them to answer all my questions.

I was rear ended by a careless driver. My neck was pretty badly injured, got whipped back and forth leaving a bulge in my disk. The insurance company stated the matter was contested... what a joke! I Immediately contacted Cal and his firm and no more contest. They took care of everything and I got what I deserved... so happy with accident settlement. Thanks sincerely for helping me Cal!! Would definitely recommend!

Traffic case non processed great win cal never do me wrong

Cal has been our family attorney for years. He is second to none when it comes to knowledge of the law. He has gone out of his way to help us in any way that was needed. The time and care he spends on his clients proves without a shadow of a doubt that he genuinely cares about the well being of his clients. I cant say enough about Cal, give him a call and see for yourself. You WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED.

I hold a CDL and was issued multiple citations out of state. I reached out to Cal's office and he explained and did everything he mentioned he will be doing. I am very satisfied with the results and highly recommend his services. He helped my family, saving my career.

I am an out of state client of Cal's, when researching for good attorneys in the area online it was an endless sea of attorneys to choose from. However, it was an easy choice for me. He provided me superior legal representation. I'm very satisfied with his services and would gladly recommend him for any serious legal matter.

Great attorney he will give you 100% and you will be satisfied. Only spoke once and he was able to fight with all the information after getting our case a day before

Cal is a very engaging and sharp attorney. He has been the family attorney for over a decade. Not only does he serve our legal needs but he does so in the most professional and diligent manner. If you are ever in need of an attorney that specializes in personal injury and litigation dont hesitate to give him a ring.

Mr.Cal has been a great reperstaive for my son he made sure my son felt comfortable with him explained to me in my son everything that will happen with his case in we were very pleased with Mr.Cal great job I would recommended him for anyone who needs help

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!!!

Cal helped me with my businesses organization, incorporation, and estate planning. I've referred him to countless people for family law and criminal matters as that is certainly another area of Cal's expertise. His legal counsel is unparalleled. Definitely one of the more knowledgable and professional attorney's i've worked with in Maryland.

Great attorney beat my case was in and outt!! Spanish freindly trustworthy nd a family freind,very well recommended helped make the whole process alot easier for my first time definitely will be callin again.
