Mr. Stella has built a distinguished career in law, which is marked by his unwavering commitment to justice and ethical practice. Since 1984, he has been at the helm of the Law Offices of Craig Stella, P.A., where he has established a formidable reputation as an attorney specializing in family, criminal and personal injury law. His dedication to taking cases to trial rather than settling for inadequate plea deals has earned him recognition across Florida as a fearless advocate for his clients. Mr. Stella's private practice, which he has successfully managed for over 40 years without any bar complaints, stands as a testament to his high ethical standards and effective advocacy.

Before founding his own practice, Mr. Stella served as a federal and state prosecutor at the Broward County State Attorney's Office from 1980 to 1984. During this time, he honed his skills in the courtroom and gained invaluable experience in federal and state legal systems. His tenure as a prosecutor laid the foundation for his later success as a defense attorney, where he has secured not-guilty verdicts that have surprised many.

Mr. Stella's expertise is further underscored by his active membership in several prestigious legal organizations, including the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Florida Chapter, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Broward Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Florida Bar's Family Law, Criminal Law and Personal Injury Law Sections.

Prior to that, he completed a master's degree in economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1978 and a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Florida. These educational achievements have given him a strong analytical foundation and an understanding of complex economic issues that often arise in legal cases.

Mr. Stella's dedication extends beyond his professional endeavors through his civic involvement. He contributes 40 to 60 hours annually to pro bono work, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to the community and ensuring access to justice for those who cannot afford legal representation.
