About
People often ask me why I dedicate my professional life to defending "criminals." First, the vast majority of my clients are not "criminals." They are honest, decent, and hard-working people, who for a number of different reasons, have made poor life choices and are dealing with the aftermath of those poor life choices. In my experience, the poor life choices that they made are the end result of personal and professional difficulties that they have been dealing with for a long time. They come to my office confused, embarrassed and under a great deal of stress at carrying around the label of someone who has been arrested or accused of committing a crime. I help them navigate the intimidating world of courthouses, judges and prosecutors. With proper representation, they can return to the productive lives that they led before they made the poor life choices that caused them to come to my office. Second, the general public does not understand that the police quite often get it wrong. Unfounded, false or mistaken charges are sometimes made by family members, domestic partners, friends, employers and police officers. I pride myself on fighting back against those false or mistaken charges made against my clients to allow them to return to their communities and the productive lives that they led with their freedom and reputations intact. Last, I enjoy taking on the unlimited resources and power of the government, police officers and prosecutors. It is truly a battle between David and Goliath but I relish the challenge. I pride myself on winning cases for clients, not just "handling" cases. I scrutinize each case to determine if the facts fit the charge and whether the police violated the law in the manner in which they conducted a search or questioned a client for example. Attorney Caldarone graduated from Pepperdine University (B.A., 1993 and M.A., 1999) in Malibu, California and received his legal degree from Northeastern University School of Law (J.D., 2002) in Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating from law school, attorney Caldarone was appointed as an Assistant State Attorney for the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office. As a prosecutor, successfully tried as lead counsel and handled hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases. That intensive experience taught him how police and prosecutors build criminal cases and how to expose the weaknesses in those cases. Attorney Caldarone is licensed to practice in all state and federal courts in Florida, the Supreme Court of the United States and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. He is a member of the American Bar Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce. Attorney Caldarone is a member of the American Bar Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Collier County Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce.

Jusin really helped with a first time offense. He was readily available and answered all of my questions. Justin understood the entire legal process guided me through it. Being that it was a first time offense, Justin was able to help me in getting the case expunged off of my record.
Mr Caldarone represented me recently and having never needed a lawyer I was unsure of the process. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all my questions and explained the process from start to finish I feel very confident in his ability as an attorney and would absolutely recommend him to friend.
When my husband was charged with a DUI I didn't know where to turn. Luckily, I contacted Justin. He returned my initial call promptly, spoke to me at length and then set up a consultation interview for the next day. When we met with him I was extremely pleased with his bearing, professionalism, and ability to put us at ease. He was always available to answer questions - in person or on the phone. Using his Masters in Psychology and JD in Law he recognized the unusual circumstances of our case and suggested a plan of defense. Following his suggestions resulted in the case being dismissed. Should I ever need an attorney again Justin would be the first and only lawyer I would contact. We can't thank you enough.
We hired Attorney Justin Calderone to represent my son in a case of possession of drug paraphernalia in Lee County, Florida. Justin was professional, assuring and extremely knowledgeable through out the process. The expertly guided us through the legal proceeding and successfully got the charges dropped. He followed up and had the case expunged at the State level. All of our questions were promptly and clearly answered. It was very reassuring having him represent us in court and throughout the process. I want to highlight his knowledge, demeanor and professionalism and most importantly, ability to represent his client and get the charges dropped. One a final note, he helped the family turn a bad decision by a young man, into a life lesson, by counseling my son on the law and implications of his actions. I could not ask for more in a lawyer. Mr. Calderone has our personal thanks and highest professional recommendation.
Mr. Caldarone represented my dad, my mom and me in an appeal process against us. He handled the case with great expertise, responsiveness, knowledge and much sensitivity. Mr. Caldarone is, in my opinion, an excellent professional lawyer with an immaculate reputation, who is very down to earth, and who places great emphasis and dedication on his work, without greed. Although, based on the excellent quality of his work, he could indeed be as greedy about his fees as he so chooses. Men of his caliber are rarely found. My family and I feel deeply honored to be his clients. I highly recommend Mr. Caldarone's legal services to anyone who needs a lawyer of his caliber.
