Stone and Kalfus Form Defense Law Firm

Atlanta lawyers Matt Stone and Shawn Kalfus have launched a civil defense law firm, Stone Kalfus, in Buckhead.

Stone Kalfus represents top-rated insurance companies, Fortune 500 companies and closely held businesses in the transportation, trucking and automotive industries. The firm focuses on resolving claims against motor carriers, bus lines, motor coaches, crane and lift companies, medical transportation providers, and automobile and truck dealerships — areas in which Stone and Kalfus have extensive experience.

While the two name partners have practiced law together for nearly a decade at other Atlanta-area firms, this is their first independent venture.

“We decided it was time to control our own destiny, to be able to hire the lawyers and staff we need, when we need them, to best serve our clients,” Stone said.

Stone Kalfus maintains a team ready to provide a rapid response 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The firm’s lawyers also defend product, premises and general liability claims.
