Exceeding Expectations
Elliot went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations!

DUI
Elliot was excellent in representing me. He was sure to explain all of the options I had the first time I met him. He did not give me false hopes that he could guarantee my innocence in any way. He knew the courts well, which helped him to identify the actions he was fairly certain would be taken co...
Elliot S Stomel's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Elliot for more than 30 years and am in the same building with him. We speak often. I do not know a finer man or a better attorney. He obtains outstanding results for his clients all the time with total character, class and integrity. I am very comfortable making referrals to him. I know no one would work harder or do a better job for my clients than him. His success speaks for itself. His reputation in this industry is unparalled. I give him my highest recommendation. Charles G. Resnick, Esq."
"When it comes to DUI Defense, Elliot is the lawyer to talk to."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. He has years of experience with municipal court. Trust him with your case."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Elliot throughout my entire practice. He is knowledgeable, competent, skilled at negotiation and trying cases, and has significant experience. I highly recommend him for all municipal court matters."
"Mr. Stomel is well known and experienced in his area of concentration. Mr. Stomel gives his clients the attention that their cases deserve carefully. I highly recommend his services and his work product."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer's work.. I am familiar with Mr. Stomel from his many insightful and intelligent answers to questions posted on Avvo. Always willing to help out and give good concise answers. In the end, you may need to hire an attorney to get to the outcome you seek, but at least here you can get a good start with his informative answers, blogs, and legal guides."
"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."
