My practice includes both civil and criminal litigation.  I represent criminal defendants facing charges in the state and federal courts.  In the past, I have helped clients confronting felony charges including first degree murder and federal racketeering and drug charges.  I have also represented many clients charged in the state courts with misdemeanors including driving under the influence, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and drug possession.  Outside of the formal criminal arena, I also represent students facing disciplinary charges on campus, with a particular focus on accusations of sexual harassment under Title IX.  My education practice has also included assisting both students and faculty facing discrimination, including disability discrimination, or infringement of free speech rights. In my civil practice I focus on representing plaintiffs in employment matters, with a particular focus on employment discrimination.

In addition to to the legal practice, I spend my time as a musician, dj, father, husband, and professor.

When people ask what I do, I’m always proud to say I am a trial attorney; I fight on behalf of my clients in the courtroom whether it’s at trial, a hearing, or in tough negotiations. I understand deeply that dealing with a civil or criminal court case can be at times confusing, frustrating, even terrifying for those outside the system. That is why in my role as an attorney, I work with and listen closely to my clients to demystify this system, help them understand its procedure, and build effective strategies to try to get the best possible outcome for them. When I joined the Miami Public Defender’s office, I learned how to zealously fight for my clients in some of the most high-stakes situations a person can face: when their freedom is in jeopardy. In that fast-paced court system, the arguments I made to the court, the motions I litigated, and the witnesses I called were all that stood between my clients and separation from their families, jobs, and futures. My time as a public defender taught me to litigate both aggressively and strategically and to be a voice for my clients in a court system where no one else would. I have taken the lessons I learned there to my practice today, and proudly use that knowledge behalf of my clients involved in both criminal and civil litigation.

Although I consider myself a seasoned negotiator, I refuse to take " NO" for an answer - which really makes me a Trial Attorney, having served a lead counsel on more than 50 jury trials in personal injury and criminal defense cases. I have also tried probably just as many cases as lead counsel before judges, arbitrators and State Agency Commissioners (MCAD).

In 1994, Stephen Scalli knew there was a better way to help people who suffered traumatic injury or were accused of a crime. At that time, and unfortunately still true today, many lawyers and law firms put their needs ahead of their clients. Many firms had no empathy for the people and families they represented. Most importantly they could not be bothered to answer a client’s questions or keep a client advised on the status of the case.. From the day one to now, almost 25 years later, our team is still committed to getting the best result for you and not for us. We provide our clients with our cell phone numbers and encourage clients to reach out anytime they have a question or concern, day, night, even weekends. Keeping our clients up to date on the progress of their case and being available when they need us is our priority. We don’t just want you to be a client, we want you to be part of our professional family.

Dealing with an arrest or a criminal charge can be terrifying. As a criminal defense attorney, I help people who are struggling with the worst time of their lives. It is my job to help people understand their options, help them make informed decisions, and then zealously fight for their interests.. For me criminal defense is more than going to court and making legal arguments, it is helping people solve problems. When clients come to me with a problem, what matters most is my client’s goals. For some, getting a dismissal or a not guilty verdict is the only option. For others, making the problem go away as quickly and quietly as possible is more important. I make it a priority to understand my client’s goals and values and fight to help them reach a desired outcome. I understand that my client’s life is more than just their legal problems. In most cases, a person’s legal issue affects other areas of their lives including family relationships and work. As your attorney, I will not only help you navigate the legal system but I will give you guidance and support to bring normalcy back to your life.
