Elliot S 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.

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!

I called Mr. Stomel on a Saturday seeking representation for a Careless Driving charge and received an immediate reply. He readily offered to meet with me that Monday even though it was a holiday and his office was closed. He spent ample time laying out all of my options, explaining them clearly, a...nd answering all of my questions of “what if” and “how about this”. He immediately took over the entire process from start to finish which put me at ease, especially since I was dealing with the chaotic Camden Court system. The day of my court appearance went far better than I could have ever done completely on my own. Mr. Stomel managed every aspect from the moment we arrived to when we finished just two hours later with the sought after result. He is very knowledgeable about the law, the individuals working within the court system and he recognizes how they are inclined to evaluate each case. Mr. Stomel treated me as an individual in need of help in a bureaucratic system that seems intended to frustrate and confuse the average citizen. If you need representation, Mr. Stomel is a consummate professional who will work tirelessly for you, to achieve the best possible outcome. In addition, I first heard the name Stomel from my husband who was represented by him in the early 1980’s. To this day he still raves about what an exceptional lawyer he was, even then.

ELLIOT IS SO MUCH More then just a knowledgable attorney. His skills translate into more then just consultation ,, but rather he speaks honestly to all his clients and he makes them feel as confortable and at ease during a very stressful time in their life, He is not only focused on doing the v...ery best for his client, he also wants his clients to know he will fight and do everything in his legal arsenal to make you feel confident . Ive never felt more at ease during such a Difficult time in my life . It was only because Of my confidence in Elliots abilitues.....He is also a person who can focus his attentions on specufics that he realizes will be the center of all your concerns. He is very good at approaching each indivual facet and having a sound legal answers. Ive only had two occassions in my life where I needed the services of a attorney. My first occasion was in similar contexts. Well with Elliiot Stomel , I saw the differences from a lawyer who can be a mechanical,, to a lawyer like Elliot who can give his clients total commitment and constant attention..

Mr. Stomel is beyond an exemplary attorney whose steadfastness, dedication, and integrity are beyond what I could have ever imagined. I have never needed an attorney but I am more than happy to say there's no other attorney I believe that could have done a better job. But as much as I am happy to ha...ve hired him, I hope I never have to hire him for case matters such as what I am about to explain again! Just to give you a little background on my case, I was charged with 4 counts of 3rd degree burglary (residential), 4 counts of theft, and conspiracy to commit burglary that involved several other codefendants. I have never been involved in criminal activity. I am enlisted in the armed forces, held a top secret clearance, and was dean's list collegiate student. Some former collegiate friends found themselves in trouble and rather than fess up to their mistakes, they lied to detectives and implicated me in criminal activities because they believed that I implicated them. I ended up buying a stolen television from these individuals which I had a receipt for and admitted the facts of my case to prosecution but they did not want to drop the charges. My entire life, military career, collegiate career, security clearance, and personal endeavors were put on hold for 9 months pending the investigation of these charges. Initially, I wanted to go to trial to fight these charges however trial costs a large substantial amount of money that I knew I could not afford, especially as a college student with pending loans. With all of these factors considered, Mr. Stomel discussed the best possible strategy to deal with this issue was to get the charges reduced to Receiving Stolen property and apply for PreTrial Intervention (PTI), since it is very uncommon for individuals charged with burglary charges to get into PTI. Mr. Stomel advised that prior to applying for PTI he wanted to be sure that the prosecutor would not object. It was communicated to him that they would not oppose to PTI if I was able to be accepted by the probation department. I applied for PTI and was accepted by the probation department, however prosecution wasn't straightforward with Mr. Stomel and refused to reduce the charges and objected my application to PTI despite the lack of evidence which they admitted in court that they did not even have! Mr. Stomel appealed prosecution's objection and was able to convince the judge that there were some important factors that prosecution was neglecting. Despite the judge's recommendation to prosecution that they reconsider the objection due to the nature of evidence and facts they purposefully ignored, the prosecution still objected! This ordeal was unfathomable to me especially since I never committed any burglaries or thefts! It seemed as if all hope was lost and that I was going to be charged for a crime that I did not commit. Mr. Stomel called me into his office and said, "I am honestly not sure if we are going to be able to get you into PTI but I am not giving up on you. We are going to fight this together and in the event that we don't get into PTI, prosecution will be willing drop all charges except one count of theft and a year of probation." Deep down I was so irate that prosecution was only willing to concede dropping charges only if it would result in a felonious record, but given the options I had left and the financial burden that I know I could not afford there was no other alternative. The next month we went to court and I will never forget what happened in the court room. When my name was called and I sat in front of the judge, Mr. Stomel stood before the judge and gave a speech which brought up countless supporting arguments, character statements, and referenced all of the rules which stated that I was more than the perfect candidate for PTI. And on that day, the judge not only granted PTI but he also summarily stated that it seems as if I was incorrectly charged! With Mr. Stomel you can't go wrong!
