Best Lawyer Around !
I was arrested by Irvington Police for a gun that was found in a parked car that I owned. I was not in the vehicle at the time of the incident but I admitted I owned the car & the occupants of the car did not take responsibility for it and pointed fingers at me. The prosecutor wanted me to go to state prison, but after hiring Marc Sposatos firm, he was able to get me only one year of probation!!!! Marc will fight for you no matter the circumstances.

Super Lawyer
I was pulled over by a state trooper and my troubles began all over again. But after hiring N.J. Super Lawyers Steve Wukovits and Marc Sposato, I was able to get out of court with a fine only, no motor vehicle points, and no license suspension. I wouldn’t use any other lawyers in New Jersey!!!

Dwi stop
“I have never been in trouble before. However, after being arrested for DWI, I hired Marc Sposato of TBWD Law. While my BAC reading was over the legal limit, I am relieved to report that Mr. Sposato was able to save my license and I did not incur any motor vehicle points! Marc and his firm are fantastic and I highly recommend them.

I was arrested by memebers of the Newark Police dept. for a firearm that was found in my car. I feared I was going to state prison because of a prior conviction. My attorneys Steve Wukovits & Marc Sposato, continuously fought very hard for me and were able to get me straight probation and NO prison time! These guys are the best and I cannot thank them enough!

The best!!
I was charged with a traffic ticket that came with points. Marc had successfully represented me in the past, so I retained him again for this ticket. To no surprise, Marc was able to get the ticket reduced to 0 points and a small fine. He is the best and I highly recommend him!!!

Very Professional and Knowledgable
I worked with Marc and his firm this summer on traffic accident in which I received two citations. Marc was attentive and responsive to the facts of my case. Further, his knowledge of the court system, protocol and procedures from having clerked prior to practice was very helpful as we successfully worked through the matter.

Marc Sposato is an amazing lawyer & person!!!
I’m a good person and was involved in a bad break up. As a result, my ex-boyfriend obtained a TRO against me. I was very nervous because I knew that a FRO could result in dire consequences. I hired attorney Marc Sposato and I could not be happier. As a result of Marc’s endeavors, the TRO was dismissed!!! He was a blessing throughout this entire ordeal and really helped me handle this conflict with confidence. I would go to him for ANY legal problem. Wow what a great person and wonderful legal team!!! He and his colleagues treated me with such kindness and humanity.

Marc gave me new life!
Marc invested the time and fought for my expungement eventually having the court grant my petition! The prosecutor fought very hard to have it rejected, but Marc’s research & leg work found a loophole in the law! I am extremely happy and proud to say that thanks to Marc & Steve Wukovits my petition was granted by the court! I can now finally enjoy this peace of mind that my criminal past has been erased and walk tall without that shadow constantly lurking! Thank you gentlemen!

Amazing lawyer
Mr. Sposato is a great lawyer. He did the best he could to keep me free to keep me with my family and kids. He kept me updated on everything that was going on with my situation. I definitely recommend him.

Terrific Team
MY SON WAS ACCUSED OF TERRIBLE CRIMES BY AN EX-GIRLFRIEND THAT COULD HAVE LANDED HIM IN JAIL FOR TEN (10) YEARS WITH NO EARLY RELEASE/PAROLE. I SEARCHED VERY HARD FOR A LAWYER. I EVENTUALLY HIRED STEVE WUKOVITS AND HE & HIS ASSOCIATE MARC SPOSATO WORKED TIMELESSLY FOR MY SON. IN THE END, NO PROBATION, NO JAIL, NO PRISON, NO PAROLE WERE ORDERED BY THE COURT. MY SON CAN NOW MOVE ON WITH HIS CAREER.

Gets the job done!!!
Marc worked alongside my other attorney Steven Wukovits and they both are amazing. No time was wasted as Marc moves forward getting things done and updating the client ever step of the way. He pulls out everything positive that he can think of that may help you in your case. I truly appreciate all that he did and for helping get me the best outcome with probation being dismissed early!!!

Best Lawyer Around
DURING THE PANDEMIC, I WAS FILLED WITH STRESS & ANXIETY, AND I DID SOMETHING REALLY DUMB. A LAWYER FRIEND OF MY FAMILY REFERRED ME TO ATTORNEY STEVE WUKOVITS. UNCLE STEVE, AS I NOW CALL HIM, AND HIS ASSOCIATE (MARC SPOSATO) WORKED TIRELESSLY ON MY CASE. I’M HAPPY TO SAY THAT I AVOIDED STATE PRISON AND RECEIVED PROBATION ONLY. IN FACT, THE JUDGE INDICATED MY PROBATION COULD BE REDUCED TO ONE YEAR ONLY. IF YOU ARE EVER IN SERIOUS TROUBLE, PLEASE CALL STEVE & MARC. THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT ME & MY FAMILY. MARC AND STEVE GOT MY CASE FROM A 1ST DEGREE INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE TO A FOURTH DEGREE POSSESION CHARGE. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER LAWYER. HE IS THE REAL DEAL!

Excellent Work
Marc defended me from an incident I had in NJ when i was falsely accused of a simple assault charge last December. When I hired Marc he IMMEDIATELY went to work. Within a few days he got my case downgraded from Superior to Municipal court. Marc told me my options from the start and gave me both best case and worse case scenarios. He was real and upfront about what could happen but also reassured me on how he would fight my case. In the end I didn't even have to travel once back to NJ (I live 4 hours away) and the case was dismissed and my record expunged over Zoom. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Great Resolution
Mark and his partners were instrumental in making 3 point able traffic tickets and an “Obstruction of Justice” charge go away with just some minor fines. His familiarity with the jurisdiction was both a comfort to me and also went a long way to creating a truely outstanding resolution. He was very responsive and seemed to really care about me as an individual.

Marc...So very thankful!!!
My son is very young but got into serious trouble with the law. The one case involved guns/cds charges and the other case involved drugs. My family’s ONE & ONLY attorney, Steve Wukovits, and his associate (Marc Sposato) did the very best for my 19 year old. This morning the Essex County Judge sentenced my son to one year probation only. As my family is going through alot right now, it was important for my son to be home. I don’t think any of us could have handled a state prison term. THANK YOU, MARC & STEVE FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Excellent young Attorney
I hired Attorney Steve Wukovits in connection with a drug case after federal and state agents raided my home with a search warrant. Once Steven and his wonderful associate, Marc Sposato, obtained the discovery in my case & thoroughly reviewed the evidence, they agreed with me that I did nothing wrong and indicated they would fight with prosecutors to obtain a dismissal. I’m so happy that my prayers and our collective persistence paid off as TODAY, MY FAVORITE LAWYERS PRESENTED ME WITH PROOF THAT THE ENTIRE CASE WAS DISMISSED AGAINST ME !!!!
