Stomel is Outstanding

Stomel was outstanding. I got a ticket for unlawfuull passing in Cherry Hill. I paid the ticket and thought that was the end of it. A month later I was trying to change my insurance company to save some money. During that process the insurance company declined my application due to an unlawfu...ll passing ticket. Little did I realize that this ticket I got carried four points with it. I contacted Stomel through a friend on mine who recommended him to me. Stomel was able to get the case reopened. That was only because of his relationships with Cherry Hill Township. We went to court and they reduced me down to two points and I will be able to take an online safe driver course to get rid of the other two points. Stomel was great. He kept me informed and did a great job for me. I would recommend him in an instant to anyone who needs a local lawyer

Great Attorney, Excellent Result !

My juvenile son was in very serious trouble. He was charged with three offenses: Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of a controlled Substance in a Motor Vehicle. He was facing cases to be heard in both Municipal Court and County Superior Court. Mr. Stomel expla...ined all the facts, appearances and potential risks associated with the cases. He explained his strategies and methods very clearly. He explained his fee and any other costs. The end result was more than we could believe. Mr. Stomel worked behind the scenes prior to the case and gained agreement to have the two Superior Court Case charges dropped completely! He then lowered his fee since we did not have to go to Superior Court. Again, prior to the Municipal Case, he had discussions and agreements with the prosecution and police so that the case was dismissed by the Judge! We are very thankful! Mr. Stomel is well respected by the prosecution, judge and police officers. An absolute professional! His contacts and experience are priceless. My son, just starting off in his life, ends up with no record at all and a lifetime lesson that will serve him well in his future. Thanks to Mr. Stomel.

Good advice, and a great outcome.

I felt extremely comfortable having Mr. Stomel represent me in a situation where most people would feel a great deal of anxiety, from my initial conversation with Mr. Stomel I immediately knew that I was in good hands, his knowledge of the law and his demeanor was impressive, his confidence in his ab...ilities I ascertained was based on his years of experience, and knowing your way around a court room is imperative for an attorney. I truly believe that Mr. Stomel actually cared about me in a way that is lost on a lot of attorneys these days. Mr. Stomel’s fees were more than fair, and for the outcome that I received, I know he was worth every cent and much more. If you are facing a DUI, or other criminal charges, or any traffic violations for that matter, I can say this, I don’t think it would be possible to find a better attorney, and I say this because I've seen what he can do for a client, in particular, me. Put your mind at ease this guy is a true guardian for his clients. A lawyer with a heart, who knew it was possible, now I’m a believer. If I ever have cause for an attorney, I will be contacting Mr. Stomel, without hesitation.

Fantastic Attorney!!

Elliot handled a criminal situation for my son. From the moment we walked into his office, his demeanor was pleasant and sure of himself but never arrogant or cocky. He was familiar with the court and both the Judge and Prosecutor. He explained to us what the charges were and what he would like to... see happen. He told us what would be his "Home Run" outcome as well as ones that we should feel good about as well if that did not occur. Not only did Elliot hit the home run...he got a Grand Slam!! He was able to go beyond what he expected and got an even better outcome than anyone expected! Thank you Elliot for a job well done!

Drug & Alcohol Offense

Mr. Stomel is a conumnate professional. His knowledge of the law is extensive and his commitment to his clients will exceed your expectations. He kept me extremely well informed, comfortable, and treated me with the utmost respect. His legal experience with drug & alcohol related offenses made it cle...ar that it had to be him who represented me. A truly stand up guy, I can genuinely say Mr. Stomel worked hard to achieve the best possible result in my case.

"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.
