Incredible Person

If you are searching the Internet for a good lawyer, your search ends here. Elliot is the most straight forward, honest, and realistic lawyer I have ever had to come into contact with. I talked to 10 different lawyers before Elliot and he was the only one who didn't force me to hire him just so he co...uld take my money. He absolutely has my best interest in mind and did everything he could to get the best outcome of the case despite the circumstances. I could not have asked for a better experience with Elliot.

Highly Recommended!

After being charged with a DUI, I started my lawyer search on Avvo and narrowed my choice down to about 4 or 5 attorneys. Out of all the attorneys I contacted Elliot was the only one I was able to speak with personally, which was a good sign and moved me in his direction right from the start. I... scheduled an appointment and after meeting with him I was very pleased. His fees were well below the quotes I received from the other attorneys and he was upfront and straightforward about what was I was facing and how he intended to handle my case. Further, based on the DUI-related research I had done on my own prior to meeting with him, he was very knowledgeable on the penalties and consequences associated with DUI in New Jersey. But his greatest asset turned out to be the personal relationships he had with the Court personnel in the County where I was being charged. While I do not know the extent of his connections throughout the state of New Jersey, it appears that he has developed many relationships throughout NJ and that he is well-respected by most. Both the Judge and DA knew him well and I could tell there was a positive connection between them. I am sure this played a factor in the outcome I received in my case. My Tier 3 offense essentially became a Tier 1. My BAC (0.15+) was thrown out and I basically received the minimum penalty/fees possible for a DUI in NJ. Throughout the duration of my case, I never spoke or met with anyone but Elliot and he was personally there to meet me in Court both times I had to appear and that in itself is a huge comfort and relief when you hear your name called and you're standing there in front of the Judge. Im quite sure I received the best outcome possible and Elliot made sure to verify that I was certain and confident in the choices I was making throughout the process. Although I have no point of comparison to other DUI lawyers (and I hope I will never have to again), I am completely satisfied with the representation I received from Elliot Stomel and I have no regrets hiring him.

Excellent attorney. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Elliot was a great attorney to work with. From our initial conversation he was very honest and up front. He gave me the best and worst case scenarios of what was possible in court. I felt his price point was VERY fair compared to what I saw doing my own independent research. In the end, he worked... out a deal with the prosecutor based on what he found (that I would have never been able to do alone in a million years) and got me the minimum possible charges. Take my advice, do yourself a favor, and at least give him a call. You'll feel good about it after you speak with him. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Amazing and very calming during a difficult time!

Elliot was a life saver for our family. We were in a very difficult time with our son, and Elliot immediately instilled confidence and calm in all three of us. He was terrific with our son in terms of making him comfortable, coaching and guiding him much more so than simply on his case, but also of...fering advice, wisdom and guidance that was invaluable to us as parents. Elliot brought a sense of calm to all of us that we could get through this time, and that our son could move past it in a positive way. His extensive knowledge of the law, coupled with his vast network within the court system and the relationships he's built over time, allowed him to navigate for us, give us trusted advice that we believed in, and achieve the best possible outcome for our son and our family. I would HIGHLY recommend Elliot for anyone looking for an extremely effective attorney who is immediately available and responsive, trustworthy, instills confidence and get results. Rest assured if we ever need help again, we would not use ANYONE else!

Elliot S.Stomel more then a Lawyer. A Partner for those who need.legal assistance

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..

"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. 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."
