Elliot S Stomel

Earlier in the year I received a DUI and underage and couple other tickets. I wasn't entirely drunk I blew under the legal limit but unfortunately the legal limit law didn't apply to me since I was under age. I knew instantly I needed a lawyer. I found elliot on avvo and hired him to be my law...yer due to his reputable reviews and experience. It was a very smart choice I made. Elliot walked me through the process and answered every question I had and was very knowledgeable on the law. He was always available for call and if you missed out on a call with him he would always return it and not someone else. He also never schedules multiple cases in one day because he feels when he is in court, he is in court with you, representing YOU only, nobody else and no other clients which is a great practice. The day of court we knew we were going to face a very tough judge ( I faced this judge before ). A judge who doesn't accept apologies, and if you say the wrong thing to him or aren't careful with your words he WILL rip you open. One great thing elliot did was he showed up really early before court just to talk to the prosecutor and sit down. This man sat with the prosecutor and talked through my case with him, over an hour and thirty minutes before court. If that doesn't show dedication and how much Elliot cares then who knows? In the end majority of my charges were dropped and the goal to reduce the final charge which I was pleading guilty for and I WAS going to get the maximum penalty for because the judge was just that difficult, we were able to hit a slightly more reduced charge which was a lot better than the maximum penalty. As elliot said, "It was a homerun." And I can 100% agree with that.

I have hired Elliot Stomel twice for DUI/reckless driving charges in NJ. What I really liked about hiring Elliot is he was available and doesn't keep you waiting and wondering. When I called him for an initial consultation I had to leave a message be then he return my call promptly within an hour or... two, and it was HIM, not a different representative or an admin assistance/paralegal. He gave me good honest advice and I set up an appointment to meet him in his office. He answered all of my questions and he shared his knowledge. I felt like he had my back and I had confidence that I was in good hands. He was more expensive than some of the others I interviewed but considering the service and the results I don't believe he is over priced under my circumstances. As far as results, I believe Elliot Stomel did at least as well as anyone could expect under the circumstances. In one case he got me completely out of a DUI and a reckless driving charges. My charges were reduced to minor traffic violations. I would definitely hire Elliot Stomel again based on my experiences. Good luck finding a good attorney, you won't go wrong with Elliot Stomel.

I made a terrible decision one night, and as a result of my actions. I got in an accident with two friends in the car and as result got charged with dwi and 6 other traffic violations and two fourth degree assault by autos. I have bit of a record and have had an underage drinking and driving + refu...sal also. Court was very drawn out and very difficult for me but Elliot was there to answer any and every question I had along the way to help me ease my worries. Finally at my first court hearing I was offered probation and to be convicted of the felonies. Needless to say I was very concerned with being under state supervision and being convicted. I was previously offered pti in my case but because I had a previous conditional discharge I wasn't able to get one. I came to grip that i would just be on probation and at least facing a year of license lost. During my last court date only my second appearance Elliot showed his true colors and how much of a warrior he could be in the court room. I still don't know how he did it but he was able to talk the prosecutor into dropping my charge to simple assault and getting all other tickets thrown out besides the dwi. And this prosecutor even had to ask his supervisor if he had permission to do so. At this point i was very nervous. At first the court was going to charge me as a second offender because of my history but Elliot did some quick thinking did a little research, and even called a buddy of his who was a judge to confirm I should only be charged as a first offender. As we took the stands the judge and prosecutor didn't believe I should be charged as a first offender in which Elliot stated two different cases in reference as to why it was unlawful for me to be charged as a second offender, the judge then asked us to stand down while they figured it out. A few minutes later the judge called us back and she, and the prosecutor seemed to be embarrassed to say that Elliot was right in this scenario. The judgement that was then handed down to me was the minimum amount of fines for simple assault which was only court cost and fees totaling 158 I believe and than with the dwi I was issued a 7 month suspension, 7 month interlock with the minimum fines all together my fines came to 860 dollars if I can remember correctly which I prepared to be paid in full and out of the way. I am still in shock of how much Elliot came through in the clutch for me in the last moments. Words cannot describe the stress I have been under for the last year and some change. I started out thinking I would get 18 months in prison over 20000 dollars in fines at least two years loss of license and even after our first court date I was content with getting probation as I just didn't want to go to jail by any means. The results exceeded my expectations and I can confidently say that all the 10/10 reviews for Elliot are truthful and he is indeed an exceptional lawyer. He is truly a life saver and worth every penny spent. Even in a court that he wasn't as familiar with as other courts he goes to he still went above and beyond for me. As I sit here today still in shock I am extremely glad I won't be labeled a violent felon for the rest of my life and in 7 months time I will have my license back and be back on the road and can put all of this in my past where it belongs. Thank you so much Elliot for your services I will be recommending anyone who asks for you . 10/10 great lawyer great results and genuinely cares for his clients and their cases.

After having been caught up in the ineptitude of the Camden County Municipal Court that was partly facilitated by the Keystone Cops DRPA police force via the receipt of a mandatory court appearance just one day before the court date I was fortunate enough to find Elliot on this website. Elliot steppe...d in immediately and had the court date deferred and was subsequently able to get me to the head of the line during the actual court appearance. He was also able to get a reduced charge that resulted in no points on my perfect driving record. I hope to never have the need to give Elliot a call again, but if I find myself in similar trouble I would not hesitate to reach out to him.
