Remarkable Victory in Family Law Case

At the Law Offices of Craig Stella, P.A., we take on the toughest family law challenges and deliver remarkable results for our clients. In a recent high-stakes case, we faced a crafty adversary who tried to conceal his true financial standing.

Our client, a devoted spouse, was being shortchanged by her husband’s deceptive tactics. He claimed to have little income yet was living a lavish lifestyle. We knew something wasn’t right—so we brought in our forensic accounting experts to uncover the truth.

Through our meticulous investigation, we exposed the husband’s web of financial lies. The judge was outraged by this blatant attempt to mislead the court. As a result, we secured an astounding victory for our client:

  • The judge ordered the husband to pay over $1 million to his wife.
  • The husband was also compelled to cover all of our client’s legal fees.
  • The court saddled the husband with the full cost of the forensic accounting investigation.

This resounding triumph underscores our firm’s commitment to protecting our clients’ interests, no matter how complex or underhanded the opposition may be. When you work with us, you can count on unwavering advocacy and an uncompromising pursuit of justice.

Personal Injury

Justice Secured: $100,000 Settlement for Injured Tenant

Our team recently represented an elderly woman who sustained serious injuries after falling down a flight of stairs in her apartment complex. She had reached for the handrail, only for it to give way and cause her to lose her balance. Unfortunately, the complex’s management quickly denied any responsibility, leaving our client with mounting medical bills and no support from those she relied on to ensure a safe living environment.

Despite this initial denial, we were determined to uncover the truth. Our attorneys committed hours upon hours to research the property’s safety record, tenant reports, and maintenance logs. After digging deep, we finally found a video that captured the poor condition of the handrail, proving that it posed a significant risk. This video became a key piece of evidence in demonstrating the apartment complex’s negligence.

Thanks to our diligence and determination, our client received nearly $100,000 in compensation. This victory not only provided her with the financial relief she needed but also reinforced our unwavering dedication to holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions. It’s cases like these that drive us to go the extra mile for every client, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
