Elliot S Stomel

In September, I was arrested for DWI in Evesham Township. It was the first time in my adult life that I was ever "in trouble" for anything. I am, aside from this mistake, a proud, law-abiding citizen. As a result of this lack of experience with law enforcement, I did not possess any helpful knowledge... in DWI law. I ended up refusing the breathalyzer test, and due to confusing information from the law enforcement officers who arrested me, I did not realize the seriousness of a refusal and the draconian nature of the relevant sentencing guidelines. I called Elliot for a consultation that weekend. He answered the phone immediately and was extremely generous with his time. I was distraught, as this was a first time experience for me, and a less ethical attorney could and would have taken advantage of this to sell me false hopes. Even during the free consultation, Elliot did not do this. He gave me realistic advice and simply sold his services as, "My goal is for you to be glad you hired me when this is over." And I am. The most important characteristic about Elliot is that he cares about his clients and represents them accordingly. He is a compassionate guy and walks you through the entire process. Even if it means stretching out the proceedings with postponements designed to give him more time to review the evidence, after he has received his payments from you no less, he will do whatever is necessary to maximize the quality of his representation. At the end of the day, Elliot managed to have my refusal thrown out of court based on a procedural error on the part of the police. If you know Evesham Township, you know that this is a tall order. This meant saving me arguably thousands of dollars and several extra months of having the IID "breathalyzer" in my vehicle. He managed to accomplish this because he cared enough about my case to meticulously review hours of body and dash camera footage of my arrest to find roughly 30 seconds of footage including a procedural error that led to me being confused about my options and their ensuing consequences. To finish this long review, I am GLAD I hired Elliot. I was convinced throughout the entire process that this guy cared about my case and would do everything in his power to mitigate the damage caused by my careless mistake that September night. The results speak for themselves. The many positive reviews on this site are consistent with my personal experience. Thank you, Elliot. Lastly, if you hire him, follow all of his advice. He has upwards of 40 years of experience in this area of law. Do what he says and it will pay off.

With no previous experience with such a situation, i was in a real panic. I knew I needed to hire an attorney, but didn't even know how to go about doing so. A good friend told me to start by researching on line and reading reviews. I'm so glad I followed this advice. After reading reviews of several... other attorneys, Elliot Stomel stood out by far. When he says he will make himself available to you any time, he's not kidding. My first call to him was late on a Sunday evening. He didn't even mind that I woke him up, because he could hear that I was in a terrible state of mind and desperately needed his help. Several conversations and meetings later, I got the feeling that I was being represented by not only the best, most experienced and professional attorney for my DUI case, but by a caring gentleman, who treated me like I was family or a close friend. He explained every step of the process to me; said and did all of the right things to the right people at the right time and got me the very best possible outcome. It was still a very harrowing experience; but I can't imagine anyone else making it more bearable and getting the nearly impossible results Mr. Stomel got for me. I hope you never need such services; but, if you do, I very highly recommend Elliot Stomel.

I never doubt who to call first when legal troubles spring up in my life. I've had the pleasure of having Mr. Stomel represent me several times on extremely tough cases. I've never seen him become rattled at any of the VERY complicated cases I throw at him. Several times I was facing anything fro...m 30 days to 6 months in jail, along with other heavy penalties. After giving these cases to Mr Stomel, I've never served a single minute of incarceration. The most recent case I was facing a 3rd DUI, which incurs 10 years loss of license and 180 days in jail, along with heavy fines, surcharges, interlock device, IDRC, and at least a month of community service. The prosecution had the video tape, the labs, and everything else that made this case a surefire win for the state. What's worse, is with a different layer, I lost a trial to this exact same prosecutor, in the same court, for the exact same charge, several years prior... Needless to say, this time, this case dragged on for 1 year and 2 months before finally reaching a resolution. During this time, Mr. Stomel stuck with me and never asked for anything more beyond the original retainer fee. He even had to have surgery, and sit out the match for a few, but still kept in touch with me and the court, contacting me frequently in regards to my case and my well-being; amazing. While he was out on surgery, he thoughtfully hand picked an awesome Lawyer to pinch hit; one that he knows who would handle my case with much alacrity as he would. And Mr. Stomel kept in close contact with us both, as well as the court throughout that time. It was awesome because now I actually had TWO experienced lawyers simultaneously putting their minds together to work on my case. However, The case took long to resolve because the prosecutor wouldn't bend and inch on any sort of plea....but Mr. Stomel is extremely knowledgeable with every single nuance of the law and pursued every avenue possible to make it as difficult as possible for the state to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt, even with the evidence the state was so confident in; so confident the stated eagerly pushed for a trial. Due to the staunch defense Mr. Stomel prepared, by the time the blinking match was over in the court, on the trial day, instead of moving forward with the trial, the state caved in and agreed to simply give a few months license suspension, a very small fine of a few hundred dollars, and 30 days of community service, which I easily completed in a month...it was like eating breakfast. No 6 months in jail, no 10 year suspension, no $4500 in surcharges, no interlock, no several days upstate in IDRC, no more anxiety. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome. It was borderline miraculous, considering what I was up against. I have had many legal situations and I've experienced many different attorneys. And with full confidence, I can say, Mr Stomel will work until exhaustion to get you the absolute best possible outcome, and he will not sleep until he knows he has reached a resolution you are satisfied with. He knows this stuff and has an extensive network within the legal community whose experience he utilizes to his advantage, all to benefit his clients and get them the best possible outcome. Second to none.

Elliot went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations! In an already difficult situation, Elliot was honest about worst case scenario and “homerun” outcomes which allowed me to mentally prepare for the worst and hope for the best. His quick thinking and eagerness to ensure best case scenario resu...lted in the “homerun” outcome and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I encourage those who are in similar situations (DWI) to seek Elliot’s services if you are looking for representation that truly cares about working to secure the best outcome for you. Don’t put yourself in a situation where the first time you meet your lawyer is on court day when they are shouting your name amongst others (truly horrific)! Thank you again, Elliot!
