Terry Stomel
A founding partner of Adler & Stomel, Terry Stomel has tried more cases in South Jersey courtrooms than almost any other attorney in New Jersey. With over four decades of experience, he’s tried hundreds of cases and earned a reputation as one of the most battle-tested criminal defense lawyers in the state.
​
He knows the judges. He knows the prosecutors. He knows the law. And most importantly, he knows how to win.
​
Terry has built his career on fearless, tireless advocacy. Whether defending the most powerful or the most vulnerable, he fights with the same unshakable commitment to justice. His wife likes to joke that he spends more time in the courtroom than in their own living room.
​
A graduate of American University and Hofstra University Law School, Terry brings not just legal knowledge, but deep-rooted relationships and strategic insight to every case. His trial instincts are second nature. His presence in court commands attention. If your future is on the line, you want Terry Stomel in your corner.
