Thorough, compassionate and professional

Mr. Stomel was a great help and comfort to me during my process. He was very thorough not only in the details of the case, but in educating me in the general processes of the court and similar cases, as well as pointing out things to be generally aware of in the defense community. Mr. Stomel was pres...ent with me for the entire court proceeding, and the outcome was the best possible, given my circumstances. He also brought compassion and humor, when appropriate; to a very stressful situation. I would highly recommend his services.

VERY PLEASED with my experiences with Elliot Stomel!

I had Elliot Stomel as my Lawyer for a very unusual case. I was very unsure of which Lawyer I should go to so I began searching and found Elliot, I began reading reviews of all the great things he has done and all of the experience he has had in court rooms for many many years. So I gave him a call, ...explained my situation, and before I could even finish the story with details he had already looked up my charge and began to plan the solution for it. He explained everything VERY THOROUGHLY and helped me understand exactly what everything meant. It really showed in him how great of a Lawyer he really is and his experience with working over the years with many many clients. The difference I have had with Elliot over other Lawyers is Elliot actually cares about you and your case. He is always available to answer questions, when the court case is scheduled he will contact you before the date, and then again on the date of, you will meet him there, and from the time you walk into court room until the time you leave that court house and walk into the parking lot to leave, Elliot Stomel will literally be by your side the whole time. He has been studying Law for so many years, hes been a Prosecutor for many years as well, hes been around a long time and knows his stuff, and on top of that knows a lot of people. He went through the entire case is such a professional manner it was almost funny to sit there with him before the judge came in, and just look at all the other people in the court room who there lawyers didn't sit with them, or talk with them before hand, some of the people didn't even know who there Lawyer was yet, they never even met in person or anything. I was very comfortable and confident going into my court case with Elliot, he did an amazing job handling my situation and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. 5/5 stars I would recommend him for any cases that you have at all. Thank you again Mr. Elliot S Stomel!

Could Not Have Asked For Better

I am currently working with Elliot and have been working with him for the past two months. Elliot helped me prior to my case pro bono, was responsive at near any time, and provided information in a timely manner. And I was out of country in a non disclosed location the entire time. My expectations w...ere far exceeded. Elliot handled my case as if it were himself on trial. It was a personal experience and I felt like my attorney was also a friend. I would definitely recommend.

I would definitely recommend hiring Elliot Stomel.

"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."
