excellent

Elliot was great through out the process of what was a hard time for me and my family.. he answered my call on a Saturday morning and talked for over a half an hour with me about my case.. right then I knew he was the right guy for the job. He fought to get the best results we could get and I am very... thankful for that. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and did not leave my side in court while other lawyers had 2-3 clients at once I was his only client which meant he did not have to divide his time.. great lawyer I would highly recommend!!

Recommendation for Elliot Stomel

I hired Elliot to represent me in a local NJ case. He was very thorough in presenting to me the pros and cons of the charges and worked with the court to obtain the best results given the circumstances. Not only did he keep me well informed he personally ensure that I understood everything and was ...personally involve in the case from the beginning to the end. I really appreciated the personal touch in ensuring I was find going through this trying time. I would highly recommend Elliot as a excellent lawyer and one who personally cares for his client.

Very Concerned Lawyer

Elliot was very concerned about the county we had to be judged in because they are very stern. He advised us on what we should do such as letters from our township, how to dress, how to present ourselves... The day of the court hearing, he went for the "gusto" thinking why not and bargain from that... point. WELL, we received our best case scenario! Many thanks to Elliot. A very nice man and actually concerned for you as a person.

Obviously an excellent choice!

Elliot Stomel was very professional and knowledgeable on ALL information. He was very easy to reach whenever I had a question and didn't just see me as just another client. He actually cared about the result of this case. I had three tickets; DUI, careless and reckless. I was charged previously wi...th a DUI out of state 3 years ago and usually in NJ it still will get recognized. Elliot Stomel went above and beyond using his knowledge and connections to get my tickets reduced down to only a FIRST offense. I was and am very pleased with the outcome all thanks to Mr. Stomel!

Attention to Detail

There is a long list of available attorneys in this area and I am so relieved to have found Elliot Stomel to help me with issues in court. He made sure I was very indformed as to what charges and possible outcomes I was facing. I know that every outcome is different for each case, sometimes it can ...be all down to luck- so why should we even hire anyone at all? I believe because of Elliot's attention to details and years of professional service not only set him apart from other lawyers, but ensured us the best possible outcome that day. As we were standing there in front of the judge I knew we were fully ready and had no doubts as what to expect. Elliot even made sure he would be the first one in the courthouse before the dozens of other cases to be heard that day. My case had a much better outcome than I had feared or even hoped. I certainly would never have achieved such a resolution on my own. Elliot even caught a mistake on the receipts and went back to fix what could have been a problematic future issue. What a relief to have had Elliot Stomel and his years of great service by my side the whole time.

"Knowing Elliot as a fellow attorney for over 30 years, I can strongly endorse him as a highly competent, knowledgeable, capable, and practical municipal court attorney. He takes great pride in the ethics of the practice of law and, accordingly, has a strong reputation and credibility in the legal community (before judges and among his fellow attorneys). That reputation for honest reputation of his clients is one of the strengths he brings to his cases to his clients' benefit. I strongly recommend Elliot for any municipal court matter."

Relationship: Family member

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Although there would seem a bias, since Elliot Stomel is my brother-in-law, but this endorsement is based on objective factors and not our family relationship. Elliot is an experienced and highly competent lawyer in this field (ie., former Town Prosecutor and Public Defender) , and my law firm has referred countless cases to him that have produced very successful results."
