Elliot S Stomel

I came to him with a DWI case, my second in 10 years, and he was able to find the extenuating circumstances and legal precedents of the case that led to the DWI being dismissed. I plead guilty to Careless Driving, got 2 points and a $200 fine. And after it was said and done, when he could have shook ...my hand and walked out, he stayed with me until I paid the court and he even gave me tips on how to remove the 2 points on my license. He was a straight shooter the entire time, always on top of my case even with weeks in between court dates. There were times when I would make a note to call him a day or two prior to court to discuss the details and he would call me before I even got the chance. He treats you with respect through the entire process. I guarantee he will give your case every bit of energy, research every facet of your situation, and find the best outcome he can for you.

I highly recommend Elliot Stomel as an Attorney, for criminal defense or otherwise. Working with him, we achieved the best possible result we could have hoped for. During the case, he was transparent in all aspects of the case, answered all of our questions, and was timely and responsive to al...l of our needs, helping us to navigate through what would otherwise have been traumatic experience. We consulted with and later hired Elliot Stomel to represent our case which involved several serious major and minor offenses. Elliot was referred to us from a trusted family friend as we had never had to retain a lawyer previously. He brought with him many years of legal experience and took the time to explain to us the implication of each of the charges, put together a strategic and tactical plan of approach for the case, and made sure we were comfortable with the approach every step of the way. He provided information on what to expect, and made sure we were fully prepared for our court appearance. He followed up with us afterwards to make sure all details were closed and that we were informed of any additional actions that would be required on our part after our hearing. Not only does Elliot have exceptional knowledge of the law and defense strategy, but he was a good listener and communicator. His demeanor throughout the process was professional yet empathetic and personable. He was very easy to work with. His personal protocol is to represent each case separately in court. We saw first-hand examples of what we could have experienced had we not had the privilege of working with him - lawyers who did not appear to have ever met their clients in person, or were juggling multiple clients in court - with less than desirable outcomes. We have the highest regard for Elliot and his representation of our case both inside and outside the court room was exceptional. Having Elliot Stomel represent our case make all the difference in the outcome of our case and we highly recommend him to anyone needing a defense attorney.

When I called Elliot on the phone originally, he didn't mix any words. He used to be a public prosecutor and now deals 99% with DWI and traffic cases. He told me at the end of the original consultation that "if there was a way out, he was going to find it." I wish I could say there was a way out. Unf...ortunately for my case, it was pretty cut and dry with no wiggle room to reduce or throw out my DWI. Fortunately for me, Elliot, due to his history practicing law in NJ, had a great rapport built with my judge and prosecutor and he was able to get me the minimums for my DWI and got four (4) other tickets totalling nine (9) points against my license thrown out! I truly believe that Elliot stood by his statement that if there was a way out, he'd find it and he helped relieve an excruciating amount of stress. I had consultations with three other lawyers before contacting Elliot originally and I decided Elliot was the guy for me based on the way he spoke with me. He makes a promise that when it comes to your court date, he won't be representing anyone else but you and he will stay with you until you walk down the courthouse steps. He keeps that promise. His level of legal (and life) advice put my anxious mind at ease more than once throughout the process and (God forbid) if I ever have to go through this again, I'd call him in a heartbeat. He's not the cheapest lawyer but his rate is his rate and he absolutely will not take opportunities to nickel and dime you after charging his initial fee. No games. No hassle. No qualms on my part. There's a reason his score on Avvo is so high. He's truly the best.

I hired Elliot S. Stommel at my friend's advice. One of her friends had hired him as was very pleased with his representation. Boy was she right! Elliott accompanied me to court for DWI chargers. He explained every step of the process in detailed making sure I wasn't lost in court. Thanks to him, I o...nly got a three month license suspension when it could have been suspended for up to a year. I was very happy with the results and recommend him to everyone without hesitation.

I understand the importance of reviews as they are what made it an easy decision to go with Mr. Stomel. I've had nothing but professional, prompt, and informative encounters with him. Legal issues can be terrifying, but Elliot knows his trade, he knows the system, and he knows how to get results. Imp...ressive doesn't even begin to describe how effective he is. I was charged with DWI and despite it being my first offense, my breathalyzer results were twice the legal limit. Mr. Stomel reviewed the police reports and found loopholes which resulted in the breathalyzer readings being thrown out. This allowed me to walk away with the best possible scenario. On a personal note, Elliot Stomel did a wonderful job of helping me stay calm and collected during this process. He's a true professional and understands how stressful these situations can be for those of us with very little legal experience. He put my mind at ease by accordingly preparing me for court and staying by my side up until I paid my fines. I can't recommend him enough. Just go for his free consultation and you'll understand why he is so successful.
