About Steven
Steven Ellman is an attorney practicing in New Jersey who combines decades of legal training with a concentration in DUI and criminal defense. He earned a B.B.A. from Temple University in 1979 and took his law degree from Whittier Law School in 1983. Those academic years set the stage for a practice built around courtroom work and criminal procedure.
After law school Ellman established his own practice. He is the founder of The Law Office of Steven Ellman. Over the years he has developed a practice handling DUIs and other criminal matters in New Jersey courts. The office represents people at various stages of the criminal process, from arraignment through trial.
Ellman holds a certification in DUI Defense Law from the National College for DUI Defense. That credential informs how he approaches cases that involve chemical testing, field sobriety testing and stop-and-arrest issues. He has maintained memberships in organizations that center on criminal and DUI defense practice, including the American Association of Premier DUI Lawyers, the DUI Defense Lawyers Association, the New Jersey Association for Justice and the New Jersey Criminal Defense Bar Association. Those affiliations point to an ongoing engagement with developments in criminal law and procedure.
Clients and colleagues describe his work as practical and courtroom-oriented. He handles motions, plea negotiations, and trial preparation. He represents people facing misdemeanor and felony charges as well as those defending against traffic-related offenses that can carry serious consequences. In DUI cases he attends to technical questions about breath and blood testing, and he examines the circumstances of stops and arrests.
Ellman has kept his practice relatively lean and concentrated. He manages files from his own office and remains involved in the day-to-day work of client representation. He participates in continuing legal education tied to DUI defense and criminal practice, an area that continues to evolve as courts and laboratories change procedures.
He practices in New Jersey and serves clients through The Law Office of Steven Ellman. His current practice concentrates on DUI defense and criminal defense in New Jersey.
