About the Firm

Stone Kalfus LLP is a civil litigation firm with a national footprint and a reputation for results. Our attorneys represent Fortune 500 companies, top-rated insurers, and industry leaders across the transportation, automotive, retail, and hospitality sectors.

• Lead, mentor, and leverage associates and support staff to efficiently move cases forward.
• Conduct and defend depositions, argue motions, attend mediations, and serve as first chair at trial when needed.
• Contribute to the strategic growth and leadership of the Atlanta office.

• Exceptional strategic thinking, communication, and leadership skills.
