When I needed help securing custody of my children, Mr. Stella was my biggest ally. He truly understood the importance of protecting my family and worked tirelessly to ensure the best outcome. I couldn’t have done it without him.
— Joanne H.
I wanted to take a few minutes to share what a wonderful experience I had with Mr. Stella as my attorney. I received Craig’s contact information from a girlfriend who had gone through a divorce the year before and was very happy with Mr. Stella. She knew I was looking for a lawyer because, as in her case, my husband had informed me just a week prior that after 20 years of what I thought was a happy marriage — and three children later — he had found someone else and wanted to be with her. I was a nervous wreck but was determined to hire an experienced and aggressive attorney who specialized in divorce law. I spoke with several attorneys, but I hired Mr. Stella immediately after meeting with him and discussing my case. I’m truly happy that he took my case. He did everything he said he would do and handled it in a way that made me feel I was receiving what I truly deserved from the court. The outcome could not have been better for me and my children. It’s also the little things that make such a big difference during difficult times. For instance, he returned every phone call, reminded me of hearing dates, and took the time to explain everything he was doing and why he was doing it. He was also a great listener — not just with me but with everyone involved. It was clear that after almost 50 years of trial experience, he was respected and listened to by the judge and, to no small extent, by opposing counsel. I cannot recommend Mr. Stella highly enough. Having the right attorney in any court case is crucial, but in a divorce proceeding, it can make all the difference in the world. At least, it did in my case. If you’re looking for an excellent lawyer, call Mr. Stella. I’m so glad I did.
— Jodi M.
From the beginning, my experience with Mr. Stella showed me that he knew what he was doing and was in total control of the situation. I had recently found myself in a position where I was charged with a serious criminal offense. Mr. Stella immediately began to set the wheels of action in motion by finding out who the prosecutor was, obtaining copies of police reports, and reviewing those with me. I found that the zeal that I met or had since I first met him carried through the entire process. I am happy to announce that due to Mr. Stella's efforts and his staff's hard work, all charges against me were dropped. I couldn't possibly recommend Mr. Stella more highly. He's a dedicated professional, just like his website indicates, and you and your family would be doing yourself a favor by having him on your team. Another one, too, can I do another one?
— JoAnne M. H.

— Taylor K.
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. My vision loss has been progressing at an alarmingly aggressive speed. In 2012, I reached my breaking point—I could no longer endure the discrimination. It wasn’t just me suffering; my whole family was affected. More importantly, my eye disease had become a barrier to my rights—I was getting fired, denied jobs, and even rejected from health insurance. At one point, a company even tried to sue me for not disclosing the extent of my condition. That’s when I turned to C. Craig Stella, and I can honestly say that decision changed my life. This man bent over backward to ensure I received justice. He was incredibly sympathetic and fiercely aggressive in the courtroom—exactly what I needed. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything and prepares you for the worst possible outcome, ensuring there are never any surprises. When you listen to him in court, you never hear hesitation—no stuttering, no "um"—just pure confidence, knowledge, and experience. I'd be confident too if I knew even 25% of what he does! No BS, straight to the point, and absolutely trustworthy. Honestly, if it weren’t for C. Craig Stella, I have no idea where I’d be today—probably homeless or worse. "Thank you" doesn’t even begin to cover what this man deserves. Years later, I’m still searching for the right way to express my gratitude, but one thing I do know—words and flowers will never be enough! Yes, he specializes in criminal defense, including DUI and federal cases, but I also know he has extensive experience in divorce law. He’s a true gem—but a feisty one! And isn’t that exactly what you want in an attorney? I know I did, and I wouldn’t change my choice for anything in the world
— Donald H.
