Anything and Everything you would want from a lawyer

From my first consultation, Elliot Stomel sat me down and explained to me every possible senario that my case could result in. He gave me a realistic sense of hope in a case that at first seemed hopeless. The initial impression I got from this man was that he is reliable and knows what he is talking ...about. I turned out to be right in my assumption as he led me through this tedious process and got me results that even I didn't expect. I would like to thank Mr. Stomel for all that he did for me. Highly Recommended

Highly Recommended!

Elliot is everything that a person would want in a stressful time when they require a lawyer - warm but professional, and completely sharp and knowledgeable about law. He always kept me in the loop about what was happening in my case, and rarely had to return a call - because he usually called me fir...st! One morning, I received a piece of mail confirming my court date on a different date then I was expecting - when I picked up my phone to call Elliot and ask him about it, I saw that I already had a message from him, telling me not to worry, and that the court had made a clerical error that had already been taken care of. My court date was as smooth as could be, and I felt very comfortable with my lawyer from the first time we spoke on the phone, until we shook hands at the end of my case. I would highly recommend Elliot Stomel to any of my friends or family.

Review

Elliot, always told me to keep my head up at all times. Elliot dealt with all of my concerns, and or issues. I was pretty much told what was happening at all times. When meeting with Elliot I always felt like I was being led in the right direction. Elliot and I worked very well as a team. Elliot, was... a hard worker and always had a positive attitude. Elliot, even took time from his personal time to meet with in order to make me feel more comfortable. I think the time invested in this matter was well worth the time and effort. I would highly recommend Elliot to other friends and family. I was very happy with the way Elliot dealt with my case. This was def. a life lesson that I will never forget. Elliot deserves a thumbs up for all of this well spent hard work! Thanks again Elliot!

Professional and Reliable

Elliot Stomel was extremely professional from the very first consultation until the end of court proceedings. He helped my court case to have a successful outcome and made me feel comfortable while doing so. Any apprehension or hesitation dissipated with his kind, yet honest approach to my situation.... I would definitely recommend hiring Elliot Stomel.

Fantastic legal representation

Elliot Stomel is an attorney who really cares about his clients. From your initial consultation he is there to assist you. I could tell just from our phone conversation that he was my #1 choice. Once I met him in person, that sealed the deal. He will give you honest, reliable advice and will represe...nt you to the best of his ability. He is very knowledgeable about the legal system and is highly motivated to get you the best possible outcome. He is easily accessible by phone and makes you feel as if you are not alone. He charges a very fair, upfront, one time fee. There are no hidden costs! I was very nervous at my court hearing. Not only did he ease my anxiety with his comforting words, but he got me the best possible outcome for my case! I was very pleased and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. This man is truly dedicated to his trade and his client. I only wish there were more attorney's like him out there. I feel very fortunate to have had him represent me!

"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."

Relationship: Family member

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
