Honest, communicative, realistic, really help to fight for your case, very knowledgeble lawyer with excellent legal counsel!!

I was charged with DUI and Refusal for Breathalyzer in NJ (Hamilton township), possibly facing 1yrs loosing my license and massive fine and classes , after tons of lawyer's research, I decided to go with Elliot, I found Elliot's manner to be great. He was extremely friendly, didn't just talk without ...listening, and he took me seriously. It came across right away that he is smart and very experienced and knowledgeable on DUI and traffic law and how the courts in NJ operate, He always show up in court 15-20min early, and he will ONLY represent you doing your court time unlike other lawyer represent 3,4,5... client at the same court day, He kept me involved and I came away feeling like we were teaming up to take this on rather than handing my case over and hoping for the best. His great manner also extended to the courtroom. He comes across as confident, respected, and experienced and he made me feel less nervous right away. He told me what was going to happen at each court visit and what the likely next step would be. Elliot is very very very easy to reach, he return phone calls very promptly, At the end, my refusal dropped and I got a very minimum fine for my case, I feel like I couldn't do this without Elliot. PS: I'm a PA resident and it happened in NJ, got arrested by the NJ state trooper.

A Miracle Worker

Elliot Stomel is a miracle worker, no less. I had several criminal charges, including possession (2) and paraphernalia (3) on top of other lesser charges, and probation violation! I was certain I would go to jail for a minimum of 6 months to 2 years. I didn't even get my license suspended! Much of it... was dismissed. The probation violation was not even addressed by the judge. I could tell that even Mr. Stomel looked a little nervous because my legal history spans years and my record is really bad. All I got was a fine and probation for a year. It took a little while for it to even sink in. I don't know how he did it, but somehow Mr. Stomel got the judge (who is a really TOUGH judge) to dismiss a lot the charges and lessen everything practically down to nothing. Before hiring Mr. Stomel, I had another lawyer for the same charges and fired him after I was in the hospital on the day of court and he agreed with the judge that I be served a warrant for $10,00.00! That quickly went away when I hired Mr. Stomel. He knows the right people to talk to, what to say to them and his legal knowledge is amazing. He used every "trick" in the book and got me off practically scot-free. I couldn't have gotten a better result if I had OJ Simpson's legal team. If you have a possession charge, paraphernalia or DUI, this is the man to go to.

Best attorney hands down, passionate about his work and his cases.

My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Stomel for a DUI offense and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Mr. Elliot Stomel was so very helpful and he made us feel at ease with our situation and handled it was poise and the utmost respect. The whole process was made so simple; Mr. ...Stomel made sure that he explained every step of the process to us in detail so that we knew exactly what was going on and what would happen. Mr. Stomel was also always available to talk and to answer any questions, any time of day, even if he was busy or in court he made sure to let us know that he would call us back very shortly so that we could talk about any problem or question we had in length. I am forever thankful for his services. I highly recommend Mr. Elliot Stomel to anyone in need of an attorney.

Recent DWI charge

Mr. Stomel is an exceptional lawyer. I recently hit a speed bump in life getting my first DWI. After thorough research, I chose to hire Mr. Stomel to represent me. The overwhelming nature of the offense had me on edge and throughout the process Mr. Stomel was accessible, reassuring, and understanding.... I would have never thought that lawyers would cater so personally to an individual, but Mr. Stomel proved me wrong. Not only does he keep you in the loop with the on-goings of your case, but he is there every step of the way to ensure that you are ok. The best thing about Mr. Stomel is that he makes it a point to be accessible to his clients even after everything with the case is complete, specifically mentioning that his door is always open. Mr. Stomel is a great lawyer and a true model for the profession.

Great Lawyer and Great Person

I live out of state and got a DUI in NJ. I left a message and he personally called me back within a half hour and made time to meet me personally for a free consultation on a Sunday morning before I had to return to my home state. He not only was knowledgeable about my situation but was calming in a ...time of great stress for me. He didn't charge me a dime more than my initial fee, and was always available to answer my many questions and worries. I felt like he cared about me as a person not just a client with a check book. I was confident going into court knowing that he would get me the best possible outcome for my situation, and he did. He told me the door was always open if I have more questions in the coming weeks and months about my case.
