PRO
also known as Stahl Gasiorowski Criminal Defense Lawyers
I have exclusively focused my practice on criminal law, and in particular white-collar criminal defense, for the past 28 years, first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of New Jersey and for the past 20 years as a criminal defense attorney. I handle significant, complex federal and state crimes involving wire and mail fraud, tax evasion, securities fraud, healthcare fraud, drug crimes, money laundering and murder. Our goal is to prevent someone that is being investigated from being charged. If someone has already been charged, our goal is to win an acquittal or work out the best possible disposition under the circumstances. My entire firm is devoted to defending client's rights and liberties. We strive to offer big firm results at small firm costs. I am a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney; named a Super Lawyer in White Collar Criminal Defense for the past 10 years; AV Rated by Martindale-Hubbell; and a Top 100 Criminal Trial Attorney by The National Trial Lawyers.

Before hiring Mr. Stahl, I had a different attorney. My original lawyer told me I was looking at a minimum of 2 years in prison. I wasn't satisfied, so I hired Mr. Stahl. With him, I got a year of house arrest. He literally saved my life. Truly, there are no words for what he did for me. He went out...
"Robert skillfully practices criminal defense with precision and expertise unmatched in his field. His courtroom prowess demands respect from all in attendance. Robert is knowledgeable, courteous and his ethics are beyond reproach."
"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. I met Robert (Bob) Stahl about fifteen (15) years ago and was thoroughly impressed by his courtroom skills. In 2004, a long-time client of my law firm was arrested on federal drug trafficking charges and as a result his prior criminal record, the client was looking at many years behind bars. Due to Bob's vast experience in the federal criminal courts, I later asked him to join me in defending the client. As a result of Bob's continued efforts, the client eventually received a light sentence and to this very date, the client credits Bob with saving his life. Since that time, I have been blessed to work with Bob in a number of cases together and in a nutshell, he is a wonderful, experienced attorney."
"Robert's skills as a defense attorney and trial lawyer, and his ethics and integrity are at the very highest level. He represents every client with zeal and is incredibly effective. I worked with Robert at the Department of Justice and in private practice and from first-hand knowledge know that any client in need of defense counsel could not be better served."
"Bob Stahl -- one the very best criminal defense attorneys -- not only in NY/NJ but in the entire nation. A fearless litigator and strong advocate in federal court. We've co-counseled on a number of matters. His work is of the highest level!"
"Robert Stahl is an exceptional attorney, with background as a federal prosecutor and years of practice. Whether a client is best served by a trial, or by a skillfully negotiated plea, Robert has the experience, knowledge and zealousness to represent a client in all state and federal matters, and to do so with a real and genuine concern and respect for the individual client and his family"
