GRADE A

Exceptional Listener ! Smooth Operator ! & VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ! I had two previous lawyers working on my case in where I was absolutely dissatisfied with their services. Andrew was my third lawyer and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life ! I use to think that ever...y lawyer was to occupied and that lawyers did not really care about the case or the person involving the case, until I met Andrew ! He is a very motivated and compassionate lawyer, he truly cares about his clients and wants and SEEKS the best for them. Very punctual when it comes to meetings, and is always reachable by phone. I would email Andrew all the time, asking a numerous amount of questions involving the case and I would always get an instant reply with a very good and understanding answers. Hes a "cut to the chase" kind of lawyer, and I was truly blessed for having him as a lawyer ! Towards the end I and my loved one where completely SATISFIED and VERY PLEASED with the result ! It couldn't have been better. We asked ourselves how he did it ? and then soon answered our own question ! BECAUSE HES IS THAT DAM GOOD ! I am forever in depth.... Thank you so much Andrew !

an exceedingly reliable attorney

Prior to this ordeal I did not think I would ever need a lawyer. A public defender had recommended Andrew to me. For the duration of the judiciary process Andrew was both trustworthy and professional. He made this ordeal as painless as possible and assured me that he would do his best to achieve the ...best result. He was exceedingly creative in my case and found a way to convince the prosecutor to weigh in my favor resulting in an ACD. He is a great lawyer whom I would strongly recommend to anyone.

ANDREW B. STOLL........One smooth & highly respected straight shooting criminal defense lawyer !!!!!!!

One hot summer day, my brother was arrested for an alleged crime that happened over 10 years ago !!! While @ Brooklyn court for arraignment, my family decided because of the seriousness of the alleged crime, we best to hire an attorney. Using my iPhone, after reading some reviews of a few attorneys ...we contacted Andrew Stoll. After learning his office was only blocks from the courthouse, me and my sister headed straight to him. After discussing the very few details we knew with Stoll, we decided to retain him for my brother's defense. With almost no time to spare Andrew Stoll grabs his briefcase and tells us to hurry and follow, we needed to get there in time before my brother stood before the judge with a legal-aid !!! Within minutes of our arrival, Stoll meets with my brother in the cell and let's him know his family has hired him to represent him. Not to long afterwards, they call my brothers case. The D.A. was trying their hardest to demand $100,000.00 bail, but after Stoll made his agruement the judge set bail @ only $10,000.00. I could tell right then & there Andrew had long ago earned his respect in this courtroom. We could even sense the slight uneasiness coming from the D.A., even addressing him by his first name at times. Nevertheless, knowing my brother 2 prior felonies, I knew from the very beginning this case was not gonna be an easy one. After Stoll recommending a nearby bail bondsman, My Brother Was Out in 1 hour after Bail was set !!! He narrowly missed the next bus too Riker's Island. The next few months were torture as we were going back and forth to the court, Andrew Stoll always making it a bit easier as he was there for us every step of the way, explaining to us in great detail what was going on and what to expect, even calling us the night before our court date to see if we were ok and answer any questions we had. Too make matters even worse, my brother gets arrested for another felony while out on bail for carrying a concealed weapon (an illegal gravity knife that's been in his pocket for the last 15+ years) we had to get Stoll in on this case as well. After just a few court dates, Stoll negotiated a suspended sentence for the knife charge, that was in the best interest for my brother. Now after going back & forth still for his first case for nearly a year & half, it was really getting close to trial. After intense discussions amongst the family and Andrew Stoll it was obvious we better start a plea negotiation. After the initial offer from the D.A., we really thought we were in deep trouble. Only after weeks of Stoll making his stance and putting up a fierce fight for a great deal, did we emerge with what we felt was a deal. Considering my brother can't seem to stay out of trouble, and after facing a possible life sentence this plea deal worked out by Stoll seemed like hitting the jackpot. Of course my brother would have to do some prison time, but I know that without Andrew Stoll's hard work on this case, it surely would have been a lot worse.

Recommend Highly

I had a consultation with Andrew Stoll. I was new to the process of hiring an attorney and felt very at ease with him. He was down to earth and very real to me yet obviously knew what he was talking about. He immediately had a plan on how to address my case. I was always kept up to date with the prog...ress of everything and at court he handled everything very professionally. The D.A was particularly unfair to my case and that was clear. Andrew did have a good rapport with them and even though things looked very bleak towards the end he was the difference in getting the result we were looking for. Andrew's personality was very well suited to put you at ease and always looked on the positive side. That was the clear difference in the outcome of my case.

"I got in touch with Mr. Stoll on behalf of a client who wanted to inquire about the potential for a number of civil rights claims. Mr. Stoll was extremely professional and generous with his time. After listening to all the facts, he was honest and candid with respect to the viability of the potential claims and displayed a serious amount of knowledge of the relevant law through his discussions with me. He did not rush my client into meeting with him for a consultation or in any other way pressured my client to retain him. Though my client did not ultimately retain him due to the relative cost outweighing the probability of success, he was glad to have benefited from Mr. Stoll's time and knowledge. I highly recommend this attorney."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Stoll for many years. We worked together at Legal Aid Society in Brooklyn until he went into private practice. I have seen him on a regular basis since he left Legal Aid. He is very talented and one of the finest criminal attorneys that I have ever seen. He is concerned for his clients, he has very good negotiation skills and he is a great trial attorney. He gets pleas that few other lawyers are capable of getting and he wins trials that most other good attorneys would lose. He is the only attorney that I have ever endorsed and if I ever needed an attorney, I would retain him."
